University of Connecticut Reviews

Solid education, especially for STEM majors. Lots of opportunities to get involved with the university, but outside of that, there really isn't much. Cow-town. Quiet is nice, though.
For me, it was a shock coming to University of Connecticut. Something I'd like to see change is better housing options. A lot of our dorms here are very tiny or infested with bugs. I'd also say the academics here are very challenging, so you really have to stay on top of that. Something I like about UConn is their rec center, as it's huge and very convenient.
The University of Connecticut (UConn) offers a diverse and academically strong college experience for economics majors. The university emphasizes research and innovation, with a rigorous economics program that prepares students for various career paths. The campus offers a well-rounded curriculum, with multiple dining halls offering diverse meals. Dorm life is well-maintained and provides a safe environment for students. UConn's party scene balances academic rigors with socializing. The university has a dedicated police force and numerous resources for personal safety education. Sports, particularly basketball, are a significant part of campus life, with strong basketball teams providing a lively atmosphere. Overall, UConn is a top choice for students seeking a comprehensive college experience.
It is a very big school but they don't always do the best job of advertising all the benefits they have so you have do your own research and make connections to get access to certain opportunities. Campus is in the middle of nowhere so there isn't too much to do immediately off campus but if you have a car or get a free upass to take the ct bus for free, there are some fun things to do. Would highly highly recommend studying abroad if you can but know that the egl office is not the most helpful and won't go out of there way to make things work for you so you have to do your own research and advocate for yourself but it is so worth it!
I would like UConn to change how they handle parking on campus. Parking is extremely expensive for any student, commuter or not, and there are very limited spots. Every student with a car on campus I can guarantee has had a parking ticket at least once during their time at UConn not matter how long it may be.
It is a very fun campus to be living at, and has a lot of activities going on all the time. There are more than enough clubs to join on campus, that makes any student feel accepted on campus. It give a small school feel since everyone kind of knows each other, while still being a big school.
I overall liked my experience at the University of Connecticut. There were many opportunities after graduation and also academics were very rigorous and competitive which only strived me to be a better student. I really enjoyed my time at UConn, as a commuter student I wasn't able to join a lot of clubs or go to different activities but by following different pages on social media I saw that there were a lot of opportunities so relieve stress and enjoy your time. Most people do not like campus food but there are a lot of different cuisines and options fi you don't have dietary restrictions. Overall the food was bland when I visited couple of times.
Uconn is a great school for academics as it is ranked one of the best public schools in the country. I think that the location of Uconn is the only downside besides some of the housing. Storrs is in the middle of no where and without a car it is nearly impossible to get off campus.
I feel as though, Uconn is a great school for making friends and everyone is really inclusive, but the one thing I miss a lot is food from home. Uconn doesn't do a really good job with the food scene. The one big thing they should work on is making the food better.
I like being at the University of Connecticut. Most of my peers are kind and nice people and so are most of the professors. The biggest downsides are the weather and the lack of a surrounding town. Uconn is in the middle of nowhere.
The amount of work that gets thrusted upon you is very different from high school. It is also important to know different colleges have higher GPA requirements than other schools in the University. However, most of the professors are very accessible and willing to help you understand the harder aspects of each course.
It's a lovely multicultural place! I love the weekly newsletter that tells you what's going on. Unfortunately I had to leave a few years ago and I've now been readmitted as a full time student. I think it's a great experience if you live on campus, but I wouldn't recommend being a commuter student. It's very lonely and UConn's social resources for commuter students always felt lacking.
Overall, my experience at UCONN has been great. The main issue/biggest downside to this school is the location is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Other than the little downtown area, and activities on campus, there isn't much else to do, unless you have a vehicle (you need 54 credits in order to bring a vehicle on campus).
I enrolled in the Business School at UCONN, renowned for its distinguished program focused on academic excellence. My advisor generously dedicated time to guide me in selecting courses, ensuring that I stayed on track towards graduation.
I come from a family that all went to UConn, so before I even stepped foot on campus for my freshman year, Uconn already felt like home. I've made friends, gotten involved, and found my people. I'm grateful for what Uconn has provided for me.
Mansfield is a fairly isolated college town lacking in some major businesses. Cost of living in the area is pretty high.
My time so far at UConn has been one for the books. I've enjoyed the people I've met and the programs/classes I've taken. While the diversity scale is low, the people I have found there makes the experience that much better.
