It's huge but that's what makes it so great. There are all different types of people here so you will find a crowd. The best part is, you won't even have just one crowd. College is about different groups of people coming together. You can be friends with all types of people.

I believe everyone at UCONN is genuie and down to earth, they truely want to succeed and further their education. The professors want everyone to reach their potential and then more. The people I have met here are some of the most motivated and dedicated students. I wanted a school where everyone had the same values as me: to work hard and succeed. I found that here at UCONN.

The school has strong connections with the industries of the state.

The University of Connecticut is unique in various ways. The amophere is like no other, with the amount of pride that surrounds the campus. I feel that everyone is proud to say that they are a UCONN Husky. With the title of a Husky, you carry the values of the univeristy which includes commitment to excellence, ethical action, and inclusiveness. The phrase "Students today, Huskies forever" is one that we as students will always carry with us.

As a freshman from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, I transferred to University of Connecticut as an incoming sophomore. I left a prestigious, small, private engineering collge for a large public research university. The transfer was the right move for my personality. If you enjoy a challenging curriculum, coupled with a vibrant campus life, UConn will be a good fit for you. UConn offers a wide diversity of curriculums if you are undecided about career choice. In addition, if you are a sports enthusist, UConn has varsity and club sports for everything you could possibly imagine. I will never be bored here.

Everything I could need or want is here on campus. For example, UCONN boasts the Jorgensen (and award winning theater). I gte to listen to live classical music there for free. The dining facilities are well stocked, and there are buses to take you to any corner of the campus you desire.

There are so many opportunities that many schools do not possess from the varity of majors to the many extra curricular activites. This leads to the diverse student population. It's great to be so diverse because you are able to meet so many different kinds of people and hear their views on life.

The teachers and most TA's are great, and very hands-on. If you take the time to visit them during office hours, they will help. If you make your case, most can work around their schedules to help students. Teachers will also recommend internships and jobs if they see that you're a dedicated worker. Internship opportunities, especially for engineering majors, are abundant, and there are oppertunities to talk to grad students on campus to find out whether or not a major is for you.

Being a public school it is relatively cheap compared to other schools in the state. Though I would have preferred to attend a school with better academic merits, the Univeristy of Connecticut is an adequate school because it is cheaper.

The University of Connecticut offered a sense of community and a sense of pride that I didnt see in the other schools that I applied. People all round you are willing to help, answer questions, or just hold the door for you into a building. The professors are some of the most approachable that I have seen in an institution like this. Even in my freshman year I have multiple close relationships with professors that allow me to ask advice, gain help, and have a more personal experience in such a large school.
