What's unique about your campus?

Erica

The best thing about UCONN is the huksy pride. Any sporting event is packed with loud cheering students; but the pride doesn't stop there, everyone wears their UCONN apparel around campus.

STHEFANY

Although I do not have any precious experiences at the University of Connecticut, I have talked to wonderful people through the phone. They have been there to answer my multiple questions concerning my application.

Thomas

UConn is a large, first class campus with a variety of disciplines set privately in the middle of Connecticut farmland. I wasn't too sure about my major and wanted to go somewhere that allowed me to change majors easily if I had to.

William

There's a plethora of clubs and groups to be a part of and events to attend. Don't be afraid of this school's size. These facets narrow your social life so you can find people you truly connect with.

Cory

Rather than UConn being a college within a city, UConn is the city. Storrs is a small town almost in the middle of nowhere, which lends to UConn's unique feel as its own community.

Ryan

The best thing about my school is the faculty. From what I've experienced so far they are mostly all very friendly and helpful with any problems you may have-teachers, advisers, and anyone else I have had to deal with so far have provided an excellent experience.

Erika

Solidarity. Anyone who is a UConn student, no matter if they commute, live on campus, off campus or use a satellite campus as their main, are all treated the same. As a commuter who spent half my time at a satellite, and all 4 years commuting, I was also impressed and thankful for how easy it was to feel a part of the community.

Denise

They are always improving the buildings, equiptment, and class variety. They just started adding more diverse classes that interested me in my field of study. There is a great variety of different classes you can take for credit. They even have a MMA class that I took my first semester!Amazing!

The campus is a good mix of old brick with new modern steel buildings

The university has a great deal of partnerships with other schools, countries and even companies that allows it students to pursue whatever they desire to their heart's content. I love the fact that I will have a great deal of assistance in searching for internships when the time comes. Overall, I believe that my university has a great deal of opportunites to offer its students to assist them in realizing their full potential.

Jenny

The variety of things that you want to do on campus and off. There are so many things available to you, resources and fun that you just need to get out there and be involved.

Celeste

I think the people at my school are the best, they are nice, friendly, and outgoing. We greet people with smiles, we always are smiling and it just makes you feel at home. They school itself is warming and welcoming you will instintly fall in love with UCONN.

Amy

The many different majors.

Katie

Assortment! UCONN has the resources for any student to feel like they genuinely belong; the school is so diverse in its students because of the thousands of courses, hundreds of clubs, and tens of resident halls. Every day, I love meeting new people whether it's at the gym, at band practice, in South dining hall, or walking past Mirror Lake. Life at UCONN is never boring; each student has the ability to make their four years as an undergraduate the best years of their life! I cannot imagine my life without UCONN; GO HUSKIES!

Charlotte

I consider the extensive animal facilities and the advanced animal science program the best things about the University of Connecticut. As an animal science major, I especially appreciate the animal facilities and how the animals are used as valuable resources for teaching and learning. I not only am I employed at the barns gaining valuable animal experience, but also have been able to see first-hand the animals used in teaching labs. The animal science faculty uses the animals very well and the hands on approach really enhances the learning experience.

Adam

The best thing about the Uniersity of Connecticut is that there is always something going on. The university is always hosting some kind of social event, free performance, or guest lecture. Whatever you're interested in, it seems like there is always something to do provided for you.

Emily

The best thing about UConn is the school pride and campus life. Whether just going to the Union or attending a basketball game at Gampel Pavilion, there is always something to do on campus which makes up for the lack of surrounding excitement. Those who have attended Uconn, are currently attending UConn, or will attend UConn in the future exude such pride in the university and what it represents. The on campus atmosphere is electric, not only because of sporting events, but because of the student body's thirst for knowledge also.

Corinne

The community atmosphere at UConn is great. Everyone is very engaged in the overall school spirit.

Britney

The best thing about my school is that there are a lot of events on campus that make students feel comfortable on campus.
