University of Connecticut Top Questions

The people just suck.

The worst part of school is probably the size of most of the classes. Lectures can have upto 300 students, so it is really hard to develop an academic relationship with your professor. So, you have to be willing to take the time to go to office hours and ask for help so your professors know who you are.

A majority of the curriculum is based on traditional ways. I am an agriculture and natural resource student and alot of what we learn about in terms of animal science and horticulter is based on using pesticides and animals for consumption and mass production. I would assume that this would apply to other fields of studie in terms that an alternative view point is often lacking. Though I would say as the years go on, they are becoming a bit more progressive in this sense.

The worst thing about my school is that there is far too much drinking. Every social event revolves around drinking; and not social or casual drinking, but drinking with the goal of getting very drunk. I feel like many students come to the University of Connecticut to drink and party. This is frustrating for me because I chose UCONN because of its impressive academic reputation.

The size is hard to deal with sometimes. Especially when the wind is whipping around and blowing rain/snow in your face during your entire 15 minute walk across campus.

I found it a little difficult to make friends to hang out with ourside of class, only becase we all live in very different directions. In class I could easily talk to people, but being connected with them on a social level with a little more tough.

Is somewhat in the middle of nowhere. There is a lot to do on campus but no very many places to go once you leave the campus.

cafeteria food wasnt great, but it depended on which one you went to

The worst thing about my school would be the weather.

Not too much around the campus.
