It is a great school to go to, it is actually my dream school! I love the big campus, and even with the amount of students, it seems like the professors are still great. There are plenty of opportunities to join clubs and volunteer, which is what I love to do. But what mostly stands out to me is the academics. This school is the best I have found for my business major and for academics overall, with great professors and ways to learn and study. With the amount of majors and minors at this school I know I will not be afraid to try new things or change my mind at any moment confidently.
The University of Connecticut has provided a positive learning atmosphere where students feel safe and supported. The University's COVID-19 response has been questionable but the university has managed to keep students on campus so far. They have resources available for students struggling during the pandemic.
UConn is focused mainly on sports - basketball, football, etc. If you're in sports you get a lot of privileges other students don't. If you love attending games, Gampel Pavilion is right on campus. If you're not super sports focused, there are still activities but they don't get as much shine as sports do. I was in a handful of clubs which were fun. There's career services which is really helpful. We have concerts, comedy shows, and more. Housing wise: some dorms are really nice (shoutout South) but some are far away like Towers. Overall a good school, but definitely a sports focus.
Overall the student life is very great while housing kind of steps behind. Often students hang out after class and you can spot groups almost everywhere over campus whether its the student union, the green, or even just walking around. Uconn is by far one of the most dedicated sports schools I have ever seen due to the thriving women's basketball team. Sadly, these things don't matter much if you hate where you are living. The only chance you have of getting good housing is in your junior year (maybe) of college depending on credits other than that you will have to stay in a 2x2 (exaggerated but barely) dorm room with another person that gets overly hot no matter what time of year it is due to the lack of airflow and the broken heater. This has occurred in every building I have even visited so not just my own. The tiles on the ceiling are also very outdated and have hit me on the head as well as multiple people as they randomly fall out of the ceiling. Instead of spending money on their failing football team UConn needs to spend a little more time and effort on renovating their terrible living situations that they pass of as dorms.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for University of Connecticut is 48%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.
So far, since I have been in college I have realized what is most important and that is my education. I have learned that it is extremely important to finish school and get the best possible career out of it. College has also helped me make new friendships that will be with me for a lifetime. Overall, my college experience has been a blast and I would not trade it for anything.
Energized and ready to learn. He is eager to learn what the professor has to offer him.
There are so many opportunities that many schools do not possess from the varity of majors to the many extra curricular activites. This leads to the diverse student population. It's great to be so diverse because you are able to meet so many different kinds of people and hear their views on life.
The University of Connecticut is a great school as far as I can tell. Currently, I am a second semester freshmen at the Greater Hartford regional campus and I like it. If you're really interested in going to Uconn, but is slightly intimated by the size of the main campus, the regionals are just as good. The campus is easily accessible and the professors are always there to help.
The academics at UCONN are very competitive, but at the regional campuses with the smaller number of students, it doesn't seem so intimidating. As a potential business major, the classes that I am currently taking are very challenging and the professors are more than willing to help.

The cost-its crazy!
I wish I saved more money.
Students are very open freshman year-leaving their doors open, conversing with whoever is passing in the hallway. Once you move to upperclassmen dorms, however, nobody seems to socialize at all.
The best thing about UConn is the school pride and campus life. Whether just going to the Union or attending a basketball game at Gampel Pavilion, there is always something to do on campus which makes up for the lack of surrounding excitement. Those who have attended Uconn, are currently attending UConn, or will attend UConn in the future exude such pride in the university and what it represents. The on campus atmosphere is electric, not only because of sporting events, but because of the student body's thirst for knowledge also.
You might think Uconn is huge initially; but as you are geeting used to it, you may find uconn as a beautiful university.
yes
They are all from Connecticut and that it is a boring school because it is in rural CT.
UConn is the perfect school for students who will not feel lost in large numbers. The campus is huge, and you must be ready to ask for directions. If you can be comfortable in a large lecture hall, and not be intimidated to ask for tutoring help, then you will do nicely at UConn. There is always campus activities every day of the week at UConn. However, if you require the intimacy of knowing each and every teacher, and if you desire to be known by each of your teachers, a smaller college would br a better choice for you.
I say i go to one of the top schools in connecticut and our sports team are awsome. I tell them we have an awsome women center.
The most frustrating thing about Uconn has to be, the inability to choose what campus I can attend to. With 5 campuses across CT, Storrs gets all of the glory. I attend the campus in Hartford, against my choice, as a commuter student and it has to be on of the most diffiucult tasks. Not only do I go to school but in order to go to school, i must have a car and must have a job. So time management gets difficult at times.
My school is best known for their athletics programs, division 1 boys and girls basketball teams, and partying. That's about it.
There isn't a particular stereotype of UCONN, or at least none that I have heard. The university has a great reputation and amazing academics and the hard working students reflect that in their work and involvement.
For me, deciding on a school came down to a few important factors: size, their undeclared program, and whether they had nice sweatshirts. In other words, I'm the type of person that can be happy anywhere - it's really just what I make of it. UConn is a place for every type of student, and is big enough to fit thousands of different personalities. That is something I absolutely loved, and could clearly see, the second I came to tour here. Because there are so many options for getting involved, meeting people, and classes, I knew this was the type of place I'd want to be for four years. I also came into college without any idea of what I was doing, so I wanted to be somewhere where the undeclared/undecided program was great. UConn has an amazing group of faculty geared towards helping undeclared students explore their many options. They're all so supportive, and it was easy for me to see that just from a few presentations. The size may be a little terrifying for some people, but I think it's great. Yeah, the first few weeks can be a bit overwhelming when trying to figure out where your classes are. But, you get used to it. And, once you start getting yourself involved in things you love, the campus will seem a lot smaller - a lot more like the community it sets out to be. As I've said before, I could tell from the start that UConn was the place for me. There are never ending amounts of options for students, and the faculty are a fantastic support service for the students.
There is a very limited sports scene at Uconn Stamford. If that is what you're looking for Storrs is the campus to go to. Uconn's basketball team is very popular and they all come from Storrs. However, don't be too discouraged if you can't make it to Storrs immediately, at the Stamford campus all students still have the availability to game tickets and events.
