Uconn is the worst place to be in the winter. When the wind blows it feels like someone is slapping you in the face. Some times I want to scream, "What did I do to you?!!!" It snows so much! and going sledding on horsbarn hill is the best, but walking to class-and you know you have to cuz all the buses are full-is torture. I honestly pray that classes get cancelled just so I don't have to deal with the cold. And then on top of that, you get crazy people going outside in sweatshirts, short skirts with the tights and flip flops! That was the most amazing thing I ever saw. I was mystified, because my mother always told me: "Just because it's sunny outside doesn't mean that it's warm." I guess they never got the message.

Uconn is a great place to be if you are serious about studying and getting a good education from very good professors. The professor here are the best

The on campus apartments were built pretty recently and are the best housing on campus.

Overall its a great college, to go to class, meet one or two people you can truely call your friends, and really become independent and ready for the future. But.... its really impersonal. Its such a huge campus its hard for one to get to know their professors, or even keep in touch with friends. Sometimes I'm not even sure the professors care if you pass. They just want to teach to make a living, and don't care if you absorb anything. Its also a very hypocritical college. Its seems as though the college wants to say they care about the enviroment, when there is so much waste in the dining halls. I have seen so much fruit and food thrown away when barely eaten it makes me sick. There will always be waste, but allowing a student to grab whatever they want and throw it away, while trying to show the campus as a school looking out for the enviroment, just doesn't makes sense to me.
