University of Connecticut Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Connecticut accurate?

kat

for the most part, yes

Amy

Yes and no, but in reality, all school's are party schools.

Julie

Well, we like to have a good time, but that isn't all that UConn has to offer. We are known for being crazy on Spring Weekend, but the majority of arrests are actually people who are just visiting UConn. As for the rest of the year, we work hard and play hard.

Bethany

yes

Stacey

Not at all. UConn is an extremely prestigious school. And while the social life is great, it is far from just a "party school".

Diane

Not for everyone. You can find that if that's what you're in to but you don't have to. Most of that happens off-campus and staying on-campus can be pretty quiet, depending on where you are.

Pete

Yes

1. Although the drinking on campus, especially on Spring Weekend, can get out of control, a student can find others who have the same values and actually go to class and don't drink. 2. Most of the times I think that they only care about building big buildings and not doing much for the students. There needs to be more student centered initiatives, and the millions they spend on building, should go to scholarships.

The cow country part is, and it's true that a lot of students go drinking on weekends because they THINK there's nothing else to do - but that's true of any college across the entire US.

Justine

i'd say so
