Most of the teachers are great and most of the students are great too.

Almost anyone. You can find so many different people at UConn--it's a really diverse population. But especially kids who are interested in a huge variety of different opportunities--my major right now is something I had never even heard of until I got here! (It's diagnostic genetic sciences).

It can be a struggle adjusting to the University and its expectations, but the moments of achievement in your specific major or a course that seemed impossible are incredibliy rewarding.

I would recommend UConn to a very independent, determined student; someone that doesn't need someone always there to tell them what to do, but is able to accomplish what needs to be done on their own.

Attend UConn only if you are able to fight for what you want. The administration isn't too great, so you really have to be your own advocate and advisor. Professors can be good or bad - it really depends on your major. For science/engr majors, the math department is terrible, so be careful. Also, the Honors Program is not what it seems to be at first - they woo you with promises, but after your first semester there are absolutely no honors-specific classes (just extra "conversion" papers to write that professors often forget to grade!).

Uconn isn't in a city, its a city in itself. You can't catch a cab to the clubs, or go bar hopping in a traditional sense. Nor is there a vibrant college town life. Its such a large campus that there really are opportunities for everyone, over 300 clubs, various cultural centers, and lots of community outreach. Its the type of school, however, where getting involved is so important because of its size. You have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and keep an open mind.
