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.
