University of Connecticut Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Michael

The parking situation really sucks there!!!!

Gregory

I wish I had known more about the student body as a whole. It is hard to determine how your college experience will be from simply visiting. The student body is extremely homogeneous and noninclusive.

Brian

I wish I knew how difficult classes were going to be. I also wish I knew what the dorms were going to look like.

Suzete

To save more money because school is so expensive, as well as knowing more scholarships available to help with the costs.

Lindsay

How many resources were available to me.

Delia

That its mcuh harder to get a job here when you dont have financial aid.

Katelyn

The course-load for my major was going to be so difficult. A big transition process.

Danielle

I was pretty well informed about my choice before I made it because I visited the campus on many occaisons before submitting my acceptance.

Rina

I wish I had known how to transition myself from a highschool setting to the college scene. It was such a big leap going from my urban highschool to this suburban college, as well as the amount of coursework I would be facing. Perhaps if I had a mentor on campus (which is an optional program to sign up for here at UConn), I would have been better off-- so more of the peer leadership programs should be advertised to incoming freshmen and transfer students.

Jessica

They take a lot of AP credit.
