Every student does not drink & party every day & go overboard. Every school is a party because they all have parties on campus that have alcohol & drugs, but because UCONN is a bigger campus it seems like we top all other schools. Many students study & try to achieve their best because they learn when its time to have fun & party & when they should calm down & study. There is not a large community of minorities on campus but each year the school tries to reach out to us & offer more culturally diverse events on campus.

No because I know lots of people who are from all over the country and even the world. Also, while the school may be located in a rural area, there are enough people to make up a big town. There is plenty of things to do and it is not far from the mall.
