University of Connecticut
- Facilities

Buildings

The campus is beautiful but the buildings or some are old and run down and some housing has no air conditioning

They're Great!

Although the gym isn't as big as it could be, it's still a great place to go and play a game of basketball or workout on the machines upstairs. If you can't find an open spot then there's always courts outside that you can find all over campus. The Center for Undergraduate Education is one of the most helpful places on campus. They house Career Services, Student Support Services, Study Abroad, and much more. They also have very nice study and conference rooms there. The Homer Babbidge Library is the biggest library in the Northeast, and they provide free tutoring for math, science, writing, and languages. They also have free services to help with technology issues, and they have tons of computers. Our University has its own art museum, the official art museum of Connecticut, The Benton. It seems small at first but it has a lot of art from famous artists such as Sol Lewitt and Rembrandt. The campus has it's own newspaper that they distribute ever day, they have hundreds of student organized clubs from Skydiving to Illustration to Dumbledore's Army, and the Student Union is the greatest place to be on Friday night as they stay open for Late Night until 1 am and give out free stuff until then. We have our own dairy bar and 7 or 8 dining halls around campus. If you don't like what one is serving, the next dining hall is just in walking distance or a bus ride away.

Great, but Crowded

The facilities at UConn are good, but often times can get crowded. At the gym, I usually find myself waiting for a while for available equipment. In the Student Union, if I want to dine or study, I try to do it during off hours, so that I can easily find a place to sit or work.
