Megan

A lot of people think that UConn is a party school filled with stupid kids that just want to drink. We actually work hard and there are a lot of groups of people that are more concerned with the betterment of the college than with going out to carriage (one of the local drinking spots) to get wasted. Of course, there are people who don't want to do anything but party, and they're quickly rooted out from the system.
