Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UConn is a great place to spend your college years. There will be aspects of different universities that people like and dislike, so you won't have the perfect college experience at UConn—or anywhere, for that matter; however, you won't hate your time at UConn. There’s something for everyone here, with so many clubs and organizations on campus. If you pursue what interests you, you will have a great college experience. These clubs exist for a reason: to bring people together with common interests. If you don’t pursue them, you’re missing out on a chance to meet new people and have new experiences. Some students get overwhelmed with the large class sizes, limited parking, and the walks to class in unreliable New England weather. However, it's important to remember that college life is an adjustment.

The entire student body unifies over basketball. Whether you’re a fan of the sport or not, Husky pride is everywhere. Campus is like its own city since there’s really nothing else around Storrs, Conn. While its size may be intimidating, you learn quickly where everything is and which buildings your classes are in. Campus transportation makes it easy to navigate from one side to the other, as well. UConn’s academics are not to be ignored, with a stand-up reputation among New England public universities. A degree from UConn is sure to help you get the future you want.

Strong Community

Because the school is located in a country setting, students spend more time with each other, in clubs, getting involved in campus life and other extracurricular activities, rather than going out to clubs/bars or shopping, as you might in a school located near the city. It gives us a strong sense of community and commitment to one another.

Not Many Available That Aren't Offered Through the School

Uconn offers housing/apartments but they are only available to junior/seniors. So if you plan to live off campus as a freshman or sophmore you'll need to find another alternative. Not many apartments available in this area.
