Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UConn has a mixture of new and old buildings. Some courses require a high-tech classroom with projectors and TV screens, and others are still taught in rooms with blackboards. While old, these buildings do not hinder academics or the learning experience.

UConn is constantly updating its facilities to keep the school ahead of other New England public universities. The chemistry and business buildings are state-of-the-art, and the library and the Student Union promote a great learning environment. All facilities are kept very clean, as well. UConn is constructing two classroom buildings to replace some of the old, outdated ones. These will be completed shortly, giving students access to greater facilities and professors new tools for efficient teaching.

Always Getting Better

UConn has constantly been adding new buildings and additions to the campus. I am very impressed with the library, all the dining halls, and the amount of campus activities that are offered. The U (student center) has basically everything you need from a food court to a barbershop to a movie theater.

Good but Lacking Some Important Things

The university has a great library with plenty of books and space for students to study. The campus also have a lot of clubs for students to join and be involved. The campus is improving, especially some old buildings are being replaced. The gym is also great. There are many equipments and it is kept clean and friendly. One thing is lacking is a campus center where students can get together. Many colleges have these but Uconn is building it right now!

Facts

"Green" Initiatives

UConn's Office of Environmental Policy ("EcoHusky") spreads awareness of "going green" on campus. There is "Stop the Drop" to conserve water, and there are recycling bins everywhere. The EcoHusky website offers tips and information about helping the planet and how to get involved.

Favorite Things To Do

When the weather gets warm, students love to be outside. People are everywhere relaxing, studying, or playing on the lawns. There are also events on campus like concerts, art shows, and activities thrown by SUBOG (Student Union Board of Governors).

Did You Know? Storrs Hall opened in 1906 and was the first brick dormitory on campus. Classes are still held there today, and it is the oldest brick building on the Storrs campus.
