University of Connecticut Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Connecticut accurate?

Jill

Not really, no. Like any university, many kids party, but many kids don't as well.

Meg

to a degree. There's so many people, there are those that go out every night. But there are the studious type, too, and everything in between.

Sean

They certainly are.

Megan

No. To be at UConn you have to work hard to get in, work hard to stay in , and if you do mess up academically you're only given a semester to make sure you can stay. It's a tough school with some really hardcore majors (engineering, physics, math, english, education, history, chemistry, most sciences and maths actually) and you need to be on top of your stuff to be able to stay.

Lauren

yes, but not everyone parties

Rory

for the most part

Stephanie

No. While there are parties on campus, this occurs at every college. The school has really knuckled down on the drinking. For example, if you caught with alcohol in your room and your under 21, you lose your housing.

Alix

Parties are good here but not over the top. Sports play a big role but there is a lot more to do here than sports.

Danielle

Like almost every college, there are parties as Uconn. However, the negative press that Uconn gets, especially during Spring Weekend, is an exaggeration of the party-scene. Uconn students work hard in school, and also have fun. Activities include sports, volunteer work, and yes sometimes parties. Uconn is not the only college that has parties, and these activities should not overshadow all of the other things that Uconn has to offer.
