University of Connecticut Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Hannah

Only two people from my high school got into this school so it was a pretty big deal. I think it's best known for being hard to get into, and a great place to go. They are also known for focusing on SAT scores a lot. You can have a great GPA but SAT scores get you in here. This was my reach school so once I got accepted, I felt so honored.

Nicole

Definitely strong school spirit and of course sports, especially basketball. The school used to be much more of a party school, however, this has become more controlled. My school is great at preparing the students for their future careers and also great with internships and graduate programs.

UConn is best known for its diverse student population and sports activites. Basketball and Football are the major sports that recieve a lot of attention from people outside of UConn.

Amanda

The University of Connecticut has an extremely wide variety of well-respected majors as well as an array of very competitive athletics. Many of the colleges and programs at the university are very challenging and produce very well studied, and respected graduates. At the same time the the academics are outstanding, the university also breeds some of the most amazing athletes, as well as a awesome amount of school spirit.

Robert

My favorite campus tradition is the simple UConn chant. Everyone knows the UConn chant (they teach it at freshman orientation) and it's not uncommon at all to hear people yelling it whenever spirits are high. Whether you'e at a bar watching the game, walking across campus, or just somewhere with a lot of Huskies, unrelated to athletics, you know what to do when someone starts, "UCONNNNNNNNN...."

UConn Basketball! Go Huskies!

Caroline

I would say our school is best known for its enginneering and business programs. Aside from the academic standpoint, notice I said "our" instead if "my school", which hints that it is a very sprited school, where students, although many unacquainted, cheer as one with Husky pride. The students are extremely loyal to the university and proud to be Uconn Huskies!

Katherine

UConn is best known for its school spirit, rigorous academic load, and the sucess of its athletic programs. Since coming to UConn in 2008, I have witnessed THREE national championships in basketball, several big east championships in basketball, soccer, baseball, and football, and numerous other athletic achievements. UConn also continues to improve its academic rank year after year.

Isaac

My school is best known for their athletics programs, division 1 boys and girls basketball teams, and partying. That's about it.
