University of Connecticut Top Questions

My classmates are full of energy and always ready to help.

The UCONN campus is very diverse. You see people from many different backgrounds and it is amazing how they all interact with one another without any judgement. Unlike high school, there is not a lot of cliques or judgement being forced on the students so people tend to be more laid back and open minded.

I haven't started school yet, I am starting in January.

My classmates are different than the people from my town, but they expose me to different cultures and helped me grow as a person.

Since UConn houses over 20,000 students, you can easily find classmates that you are comfortable socializing with. Whether you are the nerd or the jock, there is someone for everyone on campus. Since I am majoring in bio-medical engineering, my curriculum is particularly challenging so I spend the majority of my week studying. However, on weekends, I can always find someone in the gym wanting to shoot baskets with me. While there are numerous Connecituct students due to reduced tuition, there is added diversity from international students as well. UConn is a great place to go to school.

Everyone mostly keeps to themselves in my school. The school is probably big enough to cross paths with a student and never see them again over your academic career, and also never even meet someone even once. Everyone is very friendly; it's like a small town!

In lower level courses there were some who were completely uninterested in the topic and would not pay attention, however as classes became more advanced the students in the course were talkative and interested in the course topic, interesting, and helpful many times.

UConn is huge and thus it is very diverse in every sense of the word. Racially it is diverse and there are multiple cultural centers for racial minorities. There are religious centers for all major religions on campus. There is a rainbow center for LGBT students. Socio-economically it's also diverse; you have students from Bridgeport on full scholarships and preppies from Greenwich. I really don't think anyone would feel out of place at UConn, its just a matter of finding the group within the school they'd feel comfortable. UConn is generally cold and very casual. There's a range of fashion styles but generally it's all casual, whether for you that means sperry boatshoes and khakis or ripped up jeans and a disgusting oversized hoodie. Different types of students don't really interact much on campus. Everyone has groups that they belong to as a part of their identity. Most of the students are from UConn and are middle class students. It's a challenging school to get into academically speaking so going to UConn isn't a joke, but there are also obviously far more prestigious schools. Therefore, I'd say its mostly middle class. Most students are not politically aware or active but they are predominantly left, just like the state of Connecticut.

My classmates are sometimes quiet in class, boisterous outside of class, are anxious to get things done most of the time, and my classmates are usually helpful when studying together.

My classmates were amazing people that had not problem helping or studying with each other and all worked so that we could all do well.

Two: Nerds. Three: Diverse Group. Four: A couple eating together 5) Connecticut or MA 6) MIddle Class 7) Moderate 8) Only Actuarial Science majors

There's a group for everyone at UConn. I can't think of one specific group that would feel out of place, although the student body is mostly White, middle class/upper class, and from CT. There are cultural centers for minority groups to make it easier to meet people as well. There's a Puerto Rican/Latino center, African American center, Asian American center, Rainbow Center, and Women's center. There are a lot of jock type guys and sorority type girls, but there's also a ton of people from every group you could think of.

The student body here is huge and diverse. I think it's pretty safe to say if you can name it, we've got at least one person that way here. Most students are from Connecticut, though there are a lot of students from out-of-state (even country) if only by virtue of the fact that there are SO many students. I think it's impossible to feel out of place-- there's a place for everyone. I want to talk about prominent financial backgrounds, political stances, or even what people wear but honestly there is so much diversity here I can't even begin to try.

The students from this school are froma ll around the world and there are so many cultural centers and clubs that caters to everybody. There is absolutely no one that will feel out of place at Uconn. It is very diverse. The most beautiful thing is that students of different back grounds and groups do interact which each other

The campus is totally diverse. You will see people from all different religious, cultural, and sexual backgrounds all living and working together seamlessly. I have never had an experience on this campus where someone was chastised because their backgrounds or beliefs. While there are a lot of students from CT, it is common to meet a lot of people from around New England and sometimes from across the country (however, that is less frequent). UConn students are typical college kids, wearing uggs, northfaces, jeans, sweats, basically the typical clothes of a college kid. It is rare to go through the day without seeing someone wearing some sort of UConn apparel or a UConn national championship snapback.

I would say UConn is very diverse. The Rainbow Center promotes the LGBT scene quite prominently. We have different racial groups, like Asian and African American interest sororities and fraternities, and cultural centers. Club Sports and student volunteer organizations and interest groups are very popular on campus. UConn offers a great deal of religious variety in the services it offers. I think that only a real loner, city kid would feel out of place here. Most students wear jeans or comfortable clothes; people do not seem like they spend forever to get ready every single day. Dining hall groups vary, as we have seven on campus. Often, athletes sit together, and friends make up the other tables. Most students are from CT, however there are alot of students from NY, NJ, and MA. It seems that all financial backgrounds are represented, with the middle class most popularly. I would say that Storrs is moderately politically active, slightly liberally.

There are all sorts of students at this school! I can not think of one type of person UConn would not have. There are people from all races, social classes, etc. Many people are from Connecticut, but I meet many people that are not. Being from Connecticut, I like that I can still see my friends during breaks because they live close, so don't think of that as a downfall.

Not everyone here is as friendly as I would like

Everyone does what they have to do for an acceptale grade.
