University of Connecticut Top Questions

Its campus is somewhat like a tiny city in a very rural setting. Unlike a city, it has almost no stores, unfortunately.

Unique? Well, everything that is already unique about Connecticut. Otherwise we're jsut the standard research intensive university.

The school spirit and unity of everyone that goes there. No matter how different you are from your neighbor, you will always have one huge thing in common, and that is that you both have pride in your school and connect with each other in a way that you wouldnt be able to connect with anyone else.

There is much more variety in both the curriculum and the extracurriculers than anywhere else I considered, catering to nearly any taste possible. If there isnt what you want, you can design your own major or create your own club or organization. There are many hundreds of majors to choose from with many minors to acompany your choice, and a multitide of activities and services to occupy any remaining free time as one chooses. It is an exciting place to be due to the variety of options and people.

We have a huge school of agriculture, which means the campus is surrounded by a big farm -- but we do have our own homemade ice cream. The campus also largely sustains itself, which is cool.

It had everything I was looking for. I wanted a large school with a big, diverse population. It's reputation for education, particularly in my field, was great for a public school. It has a huge athletics program and I LOVE sports. You don't have to go out and party to find something to do or have a good time. There is always something going on and anyone can feel at home.

There is nothing really unique about my school. It?s a big state school with lots of opportunities and a solid academic base. I chose to come to Uconn to run track knowing that I would be able to find a major that fit me. My priorities quickly changed and now I?m doing engineering and have a much more balanced life. Uconn is a good school with lots of academic and social opportunities.

IT IS AWESOME. THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO.

I turned down a combined 7 year BS/DMD program affiliated with NYU's Dental School to attend the University of Connecticut....there was just something here that drew me in and made me feel like a belong. The school spirit is palpable, that social opportunities are endless, the extra-curricular opportunites are readily accessible, and I had a chance to start my own Greek-letter academic fraternity; all for an in-state tuition rate.

At first the large size is intimidating, but it is really part of the school atmosphere and sets it apart from other schools. The size of UConn provides for countless opportunities for new activities and to meet new people. The space allows for the individual to discover and experience something that is all their own. It lets them take away something unique and different from the school, which puts the school in a league of it's own.
