A-
University of Connecticut
The University of Connecticut may be located in the "middle of nowhere" according to some but it definitely is a city all on its own. The university provides numerous clubs, events, seminars, attractions for a students who is really interested in a good time. For history buffs, the location right near Willimantic is great. There is also the Civil War Museum in Rockville which is only 30 minutes away from the school. Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, is also only 45 minutes away. Sports are huge at the school. Football and basketball are the pride of the students. The basketball team won the national championship in 2011. School pride and community is everywhere. People are really proud to be UConn Huskies. The atmosphere is positive for the most part. The only downfall in my opinion is that students need to be more careful. I feel that on any college campus there are dangers, especially to students who walk off campus and on campus at night. Its always best to travel with at least one friend. The school is very safe, but even the safest schools have had their tragedies. I loved attending this school.
