I believe everyone at UCONN is genuie and down to earth, they truely want to succeed and further their education. The professors want everyone to reach their potential and then more.

The school has strong connections with the industries of the state.

The University of Connecticut is unique in various ways. The amophere is like no other, with the amount of pride that surrounds the campus. I feel that everyone is proud to say that they are a UCONN Husky. With the title of a Husky, you carry the values of the univeristy which includes commitment to excellence, ethical action, and inclusiveness. The phrase "Students today, Huskies forever" is one that we as students will always carry with us.

As a freshman from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, I transferred to University of Connecticut as an incoming sophomore. I left a prestigious, small, private engineering collge for a large public research university. The transfer was the right move for my personality. If you enjoy a challenging curriculum, coupled with a vibrant campus life, UConn will be a good fit for you. UConn offers a wide diversity of curriculums if you are undecided about career choice. In addition, if you are a sports enthusist, UConn has varsity and club sports for everything you could possibly imagine. I will never be bored here.

Everything I could need or want is here on campus. For example, UCONN boasts the Jorgensen (and award winning theater). I gte to listen to live classical music there for free. The dining facilities are well stocked, and there are buses to take you to any corner of the campus you desire.

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 teachers and most TA's are great, and very hands-on. If you take the time to visit them during office hours, they will help. If you make your case, most can work around their schedules to help students. Teachers will also recommend internships and jobs if they see that you're a dedicated worker. Internship opportunities, especially for engineering majors, are abundant, and there are oppertunities to talk to grad students on campus to find out whether or not a major is for you.

Being a public school it is relatively cheap compared to other schools in the state. Though I would have preferred to attend a school with better academic merits, the Univeristy of Connecticut is an adequate school because it is cheaper.

The University of Connecticut offered a sense of community and a sense of pride that I didnt see in the other schools that I applied. People all round you are willing to help, answer questions, or just hold the door for you into a building. The professors are some of the most approachable that I have seen in an institution like this. Even in my freshman year I have multiple close relationships with professors that allow me to ask advice, gain help, and have a more personal experience in such a large school.

Despite the campus surroundings, there is so much to do on campus, and you have virtually no reason to leave! It is very convienient and student-oriented.

I know I'll be able to get a good job and get into good grad schools coming from UConn.

I have to admit that I applied to UConn because it wasn't exactly unique: it was a large, out-of-state school with great sports teams and a wide range of academic offerings. UConn's rural location is a bit unique, but we're really close to NYC and Boston, and there are tons of ways to get off campus. Everyone can find their niche at UConn, both academically and socially. Plus our mascot is adorable yet fierce.

I did not consider others

The environment at this school is one that had a great influence on my decision in coming here. The people at this school create a welcoming environment and you can truly see the Husky pride in each and every one of them. Everyone sports their UCONN gear all year round and are full of pride in their school when it comes to their sports games. Everyone is supportive of the sports that they have here and it is exciting to see them show off this support and pride at the games.

Again, I would say the animal facilities. I know of few other schools with as many animals as we have. As I stated above our research and teaching uses of the animals really helps learning.

They had a variety of majors and it was located in a rural setting.

The school is very big yet you are able to find people in the major and other areas around campus that have a lot of school pride and are very friendly.
