That we are a party school- i am unsure if this idea has faded out over the last few years with the increase of police monitoring at celeron and carriage. we are not a party school- except for spring weekend it is hard to find a decent party! if you want a party school- Uconn is not it, if you want a middle of the road school with some parties but not all the time- uconn works

Party School. Some stereotypes about students are they drinking entirely too much, party too much, & never study. It is also known not to have a large community of minority students, including African Americans, Latinos, Asian American, etc. Does not offer much besides sports.

Annie

They are all from Connecticut and that it is a boring school because it is in rural CT.

drunk dmb and oar listening, pot smoking, partying white kids

One stereotype is that UConn is a huge party school. It's true that we like to party, but we work hard and then play hard, so it's a way of letting off some steam from a week's worth of hard work and studying.

We are wild and our partying gets out of hand.

1. They are all raging drunks, that only like to party. 2. They University only cares about their image.

Michele

That they're a bunch of hicks in cow country, and all anyone does on the weekends is party because that's all there is to do.

Justine

to outsiders the programs are really good and a degree from uconn makes you look good, to students it is impossible to get the classes you want and applying for housing is always full of anxiety, it used to be a wicked fun party school, but it's not the same as it was 5 years or so ago, basically the school and esp the basketball teams are the pride of Connecticut, if you say UConn in CT everyone knows what you're talking about
