University of Connecticut Top Questions

UConn stands out from the other school I considered in its quality of education and dedication to the students. UConn is ranked, deservedly, as the top public university in the Northeast. The university staff and students help contribute to important research and to answer questions with far-reaching consequences. At the same time, the student experience is not left behind. UConn essentially is the city of Storrs, Connecticut; there's not much else. But UConn goes a long way toward making the living, dining, entertainment, and financial situations as favorable as possible to its students. I regret nothing.

We have so much school spirit its almost too much. the unity amongst students is amazing. the uconn student body is a family, and i cant say that goes for a lot of other schools as much as ours

It's close to home and a good value.

This school was very close to home. It was also a great value for the money that I am paying. I received some scholarships and financial aid and I've also been able to pay about half of it out of pocket so that I don't rack up a mountain of student loans when I graduate.

It was a perfect balance. The only thing that was affected was my involvement in sports but I can join club sports or intramurals which i plan on doing. The school is not too big nor too small. I like the class sizes. I can pick which classes I rather be known by the professor or not. As long as you do well in your classes, better housing pick is guarenteed. There are a lot of opportunities for those who search. I love the environment there although the work load, depending on your major and learning style, can be challenging.

It was a full college experience. Storrs in a small rural town that is made up mostly of the thousands of students who attend U-Conn. The college experience there was more than just college classes you were surrounded by peripheral activity making it a complete college experience. There is huskies sports teams, theater, music and other enrichment/entertainment that made my college experience fun and helped me to be successful.

I only applied to UConn and never seriously considered applyin to other schools.

It gives great financial aid--that was very important to me when I chose a school. And I got more financial aid experience than I ever expected--I work in the UConn Office of Student Financial Aid Services, and I love it! Also, the diversity is impressive. And not just racial diversity, though it is there, but diversity in terms of everything that is available to me here. There are people of every background, classes for any interest, and a club for everyone! The opportunities are diverse too--UConn makes it easier to find a job, research position, or internship.

It's big, has courses fit for my major, great food, great gym, overall good student body and campus.

UConn offers a 5 year master program in Education, and the Special Education program is nationally ranked.

UConn is very school spirited. I didn't come across any other schools in my search that was as involved and excited about school, the campus, and especially the sports, than this one. It is a lot of fun to attend a sporting event and know that thousands of other people are cheering on the team and want nothing more than a victory that night. It is impossible to walk around campus on any given day and not pass tons of people sporting UConn apparel. It really is one, big community that sticks together through everything.

The size of the university allows for many options of activities and clubs to join. There are so many different things for people to do, from cultural groups, sports clubs and sororities and fraternaties. There is always something to do, and always someone new to meet. The university cares very much school spirit, and the students are proud to be Huskies. During sporting events, mostly everyone on campus joins in cheering and supporting their team.

UConn is extremely full of school spirit, everyone wants to be a Husky! Our basketball teams and other sports teams are seen on ESPN and other sport stations.

One of the great things about the University of Connecticut is that one can apply as an undecided major. In contrast, some of the other schools I considered require applicants to declare a major at the time they apply to the school. I am very fortunate that the University of Connecticut allows applicants to apply as undecided majors becasue I honestly have no idea what I want to major in at this point. Moreover, the University of Connnecticut offers more majors to choose from than the schools I considered. Finally, UConn is ranked the best public university in New England.

It is isolated from everything else; it is a town of its own. That is, nothing but farms and open land surround my school. There is not much to do around campus besides party on the weekends if you have no car on campus.

UCONN has one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen. You can find just about everything you need right here on campus. The campus is like it's own town. UCONN has the best Women's college basketball team and a really good men's basketball team.

My school is unique in that you can do almost anything you want to do. You can do research; extracurriculars; independent studies; and pursue a dream that doesn't even exist at this time. There is support for whatever you want to do.

I didn't consider any other school. I knew I wanted to go to UCONN and I loved it.

it is bigger and has a good reputation
