Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UConn has been dubbed a "party school" over the years, and you’d be surprised by what little students have to work with. There are three bars on campus, and the parties are mostly located at off-campus apartments that can be quite a walk. Hartford is a half-hour away, but that adds the risk of drunk driving, and some students don’t have a car. If you’re underage or decide to give your liver a rest, SUBOG (Student Union Board of Governors) throws a lot of events on the weekends, including Late Night and movie viewing at the Student Union Theater.

There are always things going on at night during the warm months. In the winter, it seems like most people frequent the bars because they’re not as far of a walk as the parties. If you’re looking for a night of dancing, Thirsty Dog (“Thirsty’s”) and Huskies are where you’ll want to go, as opposed to Ted’s, which is more like a sports bar. Huskies also has pool tables and big-screen TVs for your enjoyment. All bars are relatively small, but they're packed every weekend.

Diverse Nightlife

Every weekend there is something to do around UConn. Whether it's watching a movie at the student union with your friends, going out to one of the house parties, or just staying in with friends there's always something to do.

Night Life-No Value

There is not much to do. The campus does not offer a sufficient amount of opportunities for us students to enjoy.

Night Life at Uconn

There are many frat parties on any given weekend but these are hard to get into unless you are a girl. Most people have little parties at their apartments or suites for their friends especially when it's too cold to go out. We also have numerous bars on campus that are fun to go too on weekends.

Huskies

During the day, Huskies is a close-to-home college sports bar and restaurant with TVs, pool tables, and video games catering to UConn fans. At night, it becomes a club where UConn students dress to impress, complete with a dance floor and DJ spinning top 40 and hip-hop, while bartenders sling the nightly drink special.

Ted’s Restaurant & Bar

Ted's is the "sports bar" on campus. It's not the place to go if you want to dance all night to the latest hip-hop songs. Ted's has great drink specials every night of the week, live music, and the Bionic Beaver (you can't graduate without ordering one).
