University of Connecticut Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about University of Connecticut?

Margaret

How nice the campus is and how the classes aren't too long and my schedule works put nicely.

Emily

When I tell people about my experience in college, I mainly brag about all the amazing people I’ve met. The value of my education is worth bragging about and so are our athletic teams, but nothing compares to the friends I’ve made. Being an in-state student at UConn, I already have a lot of friends, but it’s the friends I’ve made from other towns or states who complete my circle. College is an opportunity to meet people from a larger pool; it is more likely that you discover more people with similar interests as you.

Sarah

When I talk about UConn I brag most about the school spirit. The division one sports teams make campus life really exciting at times. The UConn Men's basketball team won the national championship both my Freshman and Senior year. It was a great platform to bond with other students and celebrate our school pride.

Jaylene

Uconn has such amazing school spirit. When it comes to supporting athletic games- events put on by clubs and organizations the student body of uconn really comes out and supports every one. I love to brag to people about that.

Shahmeen

The number of research opportunities available on campus.

Samantha

I say i go to one of the top schools in connecticut and our sports team are awsome. I tell them we have an awsome women center.

Natalie

First, I brag about being NCAA men's basketball champs. Other than that I talk about the size. How it is big where there are plenty of things to do, but not too big where you feel lost. Also, classes are pretty easy to get enrolled in, if they are in high demand they will usually open more sections to accomodate students. Lastly, I talk about the social life. There is always something to do on the weekends whether or not your drink. And I always brag about my sorority.

Sergio

When I tell my friends about my school, I most often brag about its dedicated faculty members and its extracurricular activities. Although they are very busy with research projects and other courses, most faculty members will make every effort to clarify course material and give you advice on how to succeed. All you have to do is approach them. Attend their office hours, or speak to them after class. In terms of extracurricular activities, there truly is something for everyone. If by chance there is not an extracurricular activity for you, you can start your own club.

Darren

I brag mostly about the fact that I am going to UCONN. I also like to mention that I got good grades and made the Dean's List.

Caroline

The campus is like a mini city. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from one end of the campus to the other, which I find very agreeable because students do not feel restricted to an education-based environment. There are many buildings and lounges that I have yet to discover, which is always exciting because there is always a chance to learn something new about the campus, unlike smaller campuses where students may become very bored with their similar daily surroundings. For those that make use of everything the campus has to offer, they will find it very rewarding!

Kelcie

The places I got to go with the marching band for our football team and its reputation for being a high-quality research facility

Nicholas

The main thing that I brag about when talking about UConn is the sports program. Since I played basketball and baseball in high school I love supporting the mens basketball team and the baseball team. The basketball team won the national championship last season and the baseball team made a long run in the college world series. So when people ask about UConn, one of the first things I tell them about is how much fun it is being a fan of the sports teams.

Tiffany

That I am taking classes that have strict teachers with lots of homework and chapters to read per night.

Jenny

Basketball teams

Shawn

The University of Connecticut has great prestige and is a great research university. The on-campus activies are very relaxing and give a break to students from their daily lives.

Darcy

When I am recommending the UCONN Torrington campus I like to tell people that the campus is small and personal, every body knows everybody. The class size is small, and the Professors are always willing and availabe to help students. The campus regularly hosts local writers and artist events, and the Student Government is always offering trips and hosting campus and community events. It is a great place for students, no matter how old you are, you will build lasting relationships with people of all ages.

Kimberly

The thing that I brag about most when I talked about having attended the University of Connecticut is their Business School and the small classes that made it more of a one on one learning experience I got with the professors. The sports program at my college was also amazing and attending all of the sporting events such as Basketball, Football, and Soccor made my experience at UConn even more amazing.

Lindsey

I like to brag about the country wide recognition that our program has received. I have watched the program grow over the years since I am a Connecticut native.

Paige

The basketball team and the beautiful campus and scenery!

Andy

What I brag about the most about my school is our athletic department. UConn is number 1 in women's basketball and top 25 in men's basketball. We have one of the best athletic programs in the nation. The games in our basketball arena are amazing. Gampel Arena is a household name in Men's and Women's basketball for how loud it gets. This is a major reason why I came to UConn and why most students went to UConn, for it's sports.
