University of Connecticut Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Julie

I used to think my school was best known for its strong sports programs like the Men's and Women's basketball teams. However, since I've been here, I've learned that most of the professors here are experts in their field of study and have written or contributed to most of the textbooks that we use here, and other students use at other universities. I now believe UConn is one of the best research universities in the country. I think that UConn should absolutely be recognized for its academic excellence as well as their elite athletics.

Uconn is best known for its atheletics (mainly basketball and football) and also for its great size and population. In every season there are atheletic events to attend. And at these events one finds themself surrounded by many extremely high spirited fans and supporters. It is a wonderful enviornment to be in. The size of the campus is also remarkable. Something that at first repelled me, but shortly after my freshman year began, I understood that this greater size/population is a valuable resource. Along with high numbers of pople comes many oppertunities and perspectives.

Basketball!

Sara

Basketball, and now football. And unfortunately Spring weekend. But I guess you could say that our all-around spirit of fun is what makes us unique. But don't get me wrong, UConn has many very prestigious academic programs, like our science programs, our business program, and our school of education. The school is also research-based, so the proffessors really are experts in their fields. Most of them have made major breakthroughs in their areas of study.
