Class Year: Freshman

The best thing about UConn is the pride that comes from our athletic teams. If I could change one thing, UConn wouldn't be located in the middle of nowhere. UConn's large size is overwhelming for some people but in my opinion it's entirely manageable. When people find out I go to UConn, they mention our sports teams but have nothing to say about its academics. I spend most of my time all over our sprawling campus, since it's huge. We do not have much of a college town yet but there is currently...

UConn is a pretty good school and I'm glad I go there. A lot of people complain about the size, but it really isn't that big once you get used to it. The location isn't the best though, since there is nothing around UConn at all except farm land. If you have a car on campus, the mall in Manchester is only about a 30 min drive. There's a ton of school pride, especially when it comes to sports since we have some pretty good teams. The best way to enjoy being at UConn is to get involved in...

There's a lot that goes into my overall opinion of UConn. For me, the best part about this school is sharing the experiences it offers with my best friends. Although the school can seem quite large at a first glance, it gets to be a perfect size the longer you are here. It's not small enough that you remember everyone's face, but it's not big enough that you feel like your missing out on anything. There is a lot of school pride, and the University does a great job of getting the whole student...

Class Year: Freshman

My over all opinion of this school is that the University does not do enough to please the student body. Rather than listen to the pleas of the student body to improve the student recreational facility, the campus has been under beautification construction since I have been a student here. The campus is large enough where you can get some peace and quiet away from your accustomed social scene, but small enough to run into the same people over and over again if you keep a similar schedule. There...

I love UConn. I didn't know where I wanted to go to college and when I decided to attend UConn I hadn't even visited it yet. The campus is large and beautiful. There are many quiet spots that you can get peace of mind and relax. I like to sit by one of the tow lakes on a nice day or go for a walk. The school pride is one of my favorite parts. Everything has a Husky on it or is white and blue. The sporting events are fun, energetic and make you proud to go to UConn. This campus is in itself a...

Overall, I really do like UConn. Because it's such a large school there are groups and activities for everyone, and though the walking can be a pain the buildings are nice and the academics are strong. The isolation of campus is probably my biggest issue, however... and the longer I'm here the less entertaining the campus becomes. I tend to spend most of my time either in my dorm (almost all of my friends live here) or at the gym though, so I sometimes wonder if I wouldn't be more entertained if...

Major: Pharmaceutical Science

Hometown: South Portland

Class Year: Junior

I feel like this school has everything that I want in a school. I came here because of its nationally acclaimed pharmacy program and the experiences I have had have not been disappointments. If you're a big fan of the city or shopping, this school might not be the place to you. There's a shopping plaza (Eastbrook) within 10 minutes, but it takes about 40 minutes to go to a fully equipped mall (Buckland). UConn ranks first amongst public universities in New England and in the top 25 nationally....

Class Year: Freshman

I really enjoy being in this school. It is a great environment for education because its not smack in the middle of a big city. The population is very diverse you will meet students from all around the world. The resources that are available for students are also wonderful. There are so many ways to get involved on campus whether it is extra curricular activities or academic opportunities. This school is just right it is not too big and not too small., it is definitely a college town there is...

Class Year: Freshman

As a CT resident, I was dreading coming to UConn because I figured that the majority of my high school would be coming here and I just wanted to get away from that. Now, I can't really picture myself anywhere else. The school's campus is huge, so running into kids from my high school is a rare occurance. There are just so many activities to get involved with, whether it be sports, clubs, volunteering, basically anything you can think of. My favorite part of UConn has to be the school spirit;...

Class Year: Sophomore

UConn is a great university. I believe we are one of the top twenty public universities in the country, and the number one public school in New England. I feel as though I'm getting a great education here. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the size, but there are tons of activities on campus that allow you to feel as though you go to a very small school. I would change the location. While Storrs is working on adding apartments, shops and a town center, you should be warned that school is in the...
