Rather than UConn being a college within a city, UConn is the city. Storrs is a small town almost in the middle of nowhere, which lends to UConn's unique feel as its own community.

The best thing about my school is the faculty. From what I've experienced so far they are mostly all very friendly and helpful with any problems you may have-teachers, advisers, and anyone else I have had to deal with so far have provided an excellent experience.

Solidarity. Anyone who is a UConn student, no matter if they commute, live on campus, off campus or use a satellite campus as their main, are all treated the same. As a commuter who spent half my time at a satellite, and all 4 years commuting, I was also impressed and thankful for how easy it was to feel a part of the community.

They are always improving the buildings, equiptment, and class variety. They just started adding more diverse classes that interested me in my field of study. There is a great variety of different classes you can take for credit. They even have a MMA class that I took my first semester!Amazing!

Assortment! UCONN has the resources for any student to feel like they genuinely belong; the school is so diverse in its students because of the thousands of courses, hundreds of clubs, and tens of resident halls. Every day, I love meeting new people whether it's at the gym, at band practice, in South dining hall, or walking past Mirror Lake. Life at UCONN is never boring; each student has the ability to make their four years as an undergraduate the best years of their life! I cannot imagine my life without UCONN; GO HUSKIES!

I consider the extensive animal facilities and the advanced animal science program the best things about the University of Connecticut. As an animal science major, I especially appreciate the animal facilities and how the animals are used as valuable resources for teaching and learning. I not only am I employed at the barns gaining valuable animal experience, but also have been able to see first-hand the animals used in teaching labs. The animal science faculty uses the animals very well and the hands on approach really enhances the learning experience.

What makes the University of Connecticut so ideal is its determination to produce successful students. The courses are difficult and the work load can be overwhelming, but the end result is a promising career. I am a transfer student to UCONN from Roger Williams University. UCONN was a drastic change from type of academics I was accustomed to at Roger Williams. However, the University of Connecticut has transformed me into a student I did not know I was capable of becoming. I am now a harder working student than I have ever been who truely values the importance of education.

The best thing about the University of Connecticut is all the activities that you can get involved in and the number of people there are to meet. I love how big the campus is because it's big enough that you don't feel like you have to get to know everyone like in high school, but small enough where you still pass a lot of your friends walking to class. I also like that the whole town of Storrs is the UConn campus. And because it's its own little town, there's a lot of school spirit.

There are all different types of people that attend the university and it gives the campus a very different feel.

There is a strong sense of school spirit here. Many of the students (and their families) are avid sports fans. Football games and basketball games are big events at UCONN. Everyone is pretty friendly and willing to help, whether it is letting you know which shuttle takes you where, or helping you study for a particular class. Since the majority of UCONN students are open to meeting new people and the school spirit is so strong, campus life is made easier and more fun.

The best thing about my school is the networking you can do with professors and the guidance that you can receive from them. They are willing to spend time with you to talk about the specifics of your field, and I have found that most of the professors I had truly had a passion for teaching.

Attending sporting games, participating in intermural sports, joining a club, participating in volunteer work, pledging a fraternity or sorority, getting involved in helping other students, taking advantage of the numerous career, academic, or other resources on campus, or simply challenging oneself in academics. There is a vast variety of things to do on campus is endless. At UCONN, there is something for everyone and anyone.

The classes are very good.

For the previous four years before attending the University of Connecticut, I attended Vermont Technical College in Randolph, Vermont. I earned two Associate's Degrees while at Vermont, and although I did fairly well there, my level of work was a struggle when it came to UConn. What I like best about UConn, is the infinite resources it has available to me. There is no reason to not understand something, because there are tutors in virtually everything, and books, and computers, and you can pretty much find anything here you need and use it to your advantage.!!

I am not sure

The school spirit especially when it comes to athletics. Sporting events defiantely bring everyone together.

There are endless amounts of extra-curricular activities at Uconn. From the skydiving club, to volunteering with the homeless, to the ecohusky student group. All of which I hope to become fully involved in next year. It's such a great way to meet a wide range of people with similar interests, especially because of Uconn's very diverse student body.

The best part of UCONN is that everyone fits in and there is a wide vareity of students with similar interests.. No matter what a student's interests are, there is a club or activity for everything. New clubs are easy to form and quickly gathers interest of fellow students. Students at the school think of the campus as their home, and their new friends as family. There is always someone to go to if you need help, or just someone to talk to. Friends that I made while attending school will be my friends for long after graduation.

Even though the campus is huge, I get a sense of community wherever i live and its very easy to meet people within dorms or out on weekends. Very friendly environment overall.

The best thing about my school is the independence and freedom offered not only in each students social life, but also in their academic planning and course scheduling. Basically every aspect of the school is in your hands, and it is very easy to do what you please.

My school is very unique in the way students operate. Many students choose the laissez-faire attitude, not doing much work and sort of just hanging out. The other half of the student body is very dedicated to their studies and being successful. I would say the diversity of the University of Connecticut is the best thing. Everything about UConn is different and unique in its own way.

The best thing about my school is the school spirit, especially surrounding our sports teams. All the time you see people with UCONN gear on and supporting our school in everything that we do. It gives this campus such a sense of unity.
