University of Connecticut Top Questions

The huge size can sometimes be a downside. you dont get a whole lot of individual attention and sometimes are merely a number to your professors. depending on your major this might change in your junior and senior year as you begin to take more major-specific courses but for some majors this continues to be the trend throughout your entire time at uconn.

There is nothing bad about this school.

The hills, the older dorms, and the dining rooms on a bad day.

the cold, its freezing cold at UConn

The worst thing is that there are not many stores around campus.

I don't enjoy the weather in the winter (it is so windy and cold!). The dorms are extremely small .

Majority of the weekends consist of drinking so if you're not into that stuff, you may not find much to do. Also, the surrounding area is extremely rural so there is no fun city life.

The worst thing about the school is perhaps the long walk to get anywhere. Some dorms are really far from the central academic buildings, and "off-campus" shops like Subway or Friendly's are really far to walk and you would have to wait for a shuttle. Sometimes, I would have to leave a 50-minute lecture a little bit early, which left no time for one-on-one questions, in order to walk across campus to my next class.

The lack of work ethic in many students I feel brings down the moral of the students that do strive to work hard. This is the worst thing about UConn, the students that choose not to be motivated in their studies.

A lot of the students were fairly closed minded and concerned with only themselves instead of being community focused or interested in the common good.
