University of Connecticut Top Questions

UCONN is such a large school, so it is extremely easy to interact with a very diverse group of people; different ethnicities, work-motivated, personalities, what they do in their free time and extra curricular activities, among many other things. One thing I can say, that can't be said about other schools, is that one can't generalize a student at UCONN. Also, all of the sports programs and the diversity of activities on campus brings a sense of pride to the campus, everyone is very proud and honored to attend the university.

There is a surprising number of opportunities to work with horses. These opportunities include studying horses in class, joining a horse-related club, learning to ride or getting a job at the barn. The University does an excellent job at accommodating everyone ranging from beginner to experienced. Traditional riding disciplines are taught, such as English and Western, but UConn also offers lessons in Dressage, Saddle Seat, Polo, Driving and even Vaulting.

My school is unique because it caters to everyone's needs. Even though w are all very diverse we all feel at home.

Since Uconn is a school that is seemingly it's own town, we develop a great sense of community unlike any other school I visited. It is as if someone thought it'd be a great experiment to just drop a city full of college aged people into the middle of nowhere and watch how theyd live. We have our own little world and a great deal of school spirit. Not to mention we make our ice cream since we began as an agricultural school in 1881 and have continued the tradition ever since.

University of Connecticut is unique because it is a huge school with a wide variety of students and backgrounds. There is virtually every major possible and the ability to take classes that interest you but do not necessarily attain to your major is always guaranteed.

The University of Connecticut interested me because every student was excited to go there. Everyone had found a home in the school. When I arrived on campus for a visit, something told me that this school could also be my home. Going to college is what you make of it. I'm already about to become a junior and I can still remember freshman orientation like it was yesterday. This school puts in an effort to make you feel welcomed.

I did not consider any other schools

The school spirit is intense and everyone is friendly.

it's very diverse and there are many opportunites on campus.

I think that University Of Connecticut is unique , beacause as a child I watched Husky sports faithfully and have always dreamed og become a HUsky student. I considered 2 other colleges in Connecticut so that I can be close to home and work so I can help my parents with the expenses of college. My parents are unable to afford to send me to college but we just take a semester at a time and try not to obtain too mant loans because we have to then worry about paying them back in the end.

The variety of student organizations on campus and how students have the ability to be involved with administration

basketball, campus

My school is very large.

Excellent facilities in a beautiful part of the state. I grew up in a small, rural town, so being here makes me feel more comfortable. Plus there are cows that live across from my dorm.

Some may feel that being at UConn, we are closed off from the rest of society. Storrs is a small town, but has managed to bring together thousands of students, faculty, and people from all over, making it a small city in its own. It's big enough in that everyday you can meet at least 5 new people, and small enough in that each of the 5 people you met the day before knows someone else you have met elsewhere on campus. It can be a social school, and academically challenging at the same time.

The University setting instead of an art school provided more diversified experience than an art school would have provided. Gave me more exposure to other areas of interest when trying to declare my major and minor area of studies. It gave me a good college experience without having to sacrifice a good art program.

The size may seem overwhelming, but it's what makes UConn great. you will never get bored, you will never be lonely, and you'll always feel included. some other small schools i visit don't have the school spirit or friendliness that UConn has. the social aspect aside, the classes are great. big classes are the way to go. You will know someone in your class to study with on top of that almost all test are multiple choice or a single essay. also if you miss a class, you can get the lecture online.

Very school spirited, well stocked on entertainment and all inclusive (like things needed during the week).

It has an amazing financial aid program that really makes a difference. Also, the size allows for a lot of different interests. Despite there not being a lot around the campus, it still has a plethera of types of student groups, ranging from human rights, to media groups (radio station, tv station, several papers), to an undergraduate student government, to political and social groups, volunteer organizations and fraternities and sororities. There's a lot to look forward to, although it can often get in the way of school work if you're not careful.

UConn is the only in-state school I considered. This is because UConn would be a lot cheaper to attend than any other school. It also had my major (actuarial science) which is offered by only a handful of colleges around the US.
