Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UConn is an active campus. Students are spotted outdoors jogging or hitting the gym, and there are tons of club sports to get involved with, as well. People work hard to look good, and it shows when the weekend comes. Girls like to get dressed up to go out to parties or the bar. You'll see a lot of them wearing high heels—a big mistake when you have to walk everywhere, though.

Most people are friendly, too. It's not unusual to hear crowds yell the UConn Huskies chant while walking to a party or to end up in an apartment where you know no one, but leave with a couple of new contacts in your phone. It's easy to meet people—just get out of your dorm room!

Everyone Is Cool

Everyone at Uconn is great. I've yet to meet a mean or rude person. People aren't afraid to wear their purple hair or say what they really feel. I think that it's great. There are so many clubs and organizations that you can find plenty of people with like interests. I love to see new faces everyday and to be in such a creative environment,it's plain awesome!

No One Look

A lot of students at UConn have their own style. Many students however like to get up in the morning and just put on some sweats to go to class because people are so laid back here.

The "Just Rolled Out of Bed" Look Is Popular

Most students who attend UCONN are not up on the latest fashion trends. Many go to class in sweatpants and sweatshirts and sometimes dont even brush their hair. However, there are not many cliques--everyone is friendly, down to earth, and is interested in meeting new people.

Facts

Social Scene

There are groups, cliques, and people everywhere on campus doing an array of activities. Overall, students are friendly and looking to meet new people, so get out there!

Hookups or Relationships?

While you may see a lot of hooking up at weekend parties, you will still see a fair number of couples holding hands on the walk to class. Some party scenes seem to be focused on the hookup lifestyle, but a lot of individuals are in long-term relationships, too. They seem to be balanced.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Whether you're looking for a hookup or a relationship will govern your strategy in finding someone, but activities are the best place to meet a significant other. Colored house parties, although they usually do draw sizable crowds of both sexes, are mostly male-dominated and constitute the main hookup scene. The winter can be tough if you're single, but during the warmer months, the campus heats up in more ways than just the weather.

Dress Code

Many students have a preppy look, but a lot of the time you'll see people in sweatpants and UConn T-shirts. In the winter, everyone seems to wear North Face jackets and fleeces, and girls wear Ugg boots; this has been informally dubbed the "UConn uniform." Jeans and a T-shirt will always suffice. It all depends on how early you want to wake up to get ready.
