Guys & Girls at University of Connecticut

C-

Diamon in the Rough

most people are either ghetto, dumb, or transferring. Less than 3000 at the school. However, there are attractive people.

Academics at University of Connecticut

D

Do Not Expect to Get Smarter

they claim they get amazing teachers from all over, like NYU to come teach. That is bs the teachers are very commonly part time teaching or from the surrounding community colleges. There are no classes available towards most majors, apart from gen eds.

JOKE

Campus Dining at University of Connecticut - Stamford

D-

EW!!

the campus food is served by 3 immigrants. They obviously have no background in being a chef. The food is all quickly thrown together and heated up. Everything is cheekily overpriced, for example you know those 1 $ arizonas??? they serve a much smaller can, smaller than a coke can, for 3$. DO NOT EAT HERE, the only benefit is that it is Stamford. So if you have the time and money between classes you can eat out

There is a trump tower in Stamford so you can find some decent restaurants. However, most people just eat at home before they commute

Local Atmosphere at University of Connecticut

D

Dreary

there are robotic business workers who take the train, people lower socioeconomic class all over the rest of the town. Pretty much no college atmosphere whatsoever.

Parking at University of Connecticut

C-

LAME

you have to pay tuition before you can park.

you get tickets for parking where it says free visitor parking.

its in a city so you can ONLY use their parking lot unless you want to pay for meters or private lots.

Overall Experience at University of Connecticut

F

HATE ITTTTT

I want to transfer, nobody likes it here either. It is commonplace to joke about how crappy the school is. I think I pretty much ruined my college experience by coming here, there's no fun to be had at all. I just hope I can transfer out junior year and maybe then I can go to a college party not 2 hours away...Oh and the advisers are awful, they do not know what they are talking about and could barely help me pick classes to transfer. Its like a trap, you get lured in with the promise you can go to real UConn. Then then leave you for dead, all alone and infact it is very hard to get form stamford to storrs.
