What kind of person should attend University of Connecticut?

Trevor

In my opinion, the type of person that should attend this school would be a person who values his/her education and holds themselves to higher academic standards. Along with this very important aspect, I believe a UConn student is one that proud to be apart of this University and charismatic to the sometimes unappealing cold vast environment. Sometimes the road less traveled leads to a better place, and although the weak may choose warmer schools much smaller, it is only because they choose to settle for less and take the easy road, Uconn student work towards excellence, nothing less.

The University of Connecticut's demographic is quite broad. If someone is considering becoming a student here, they have to be accepting of many types of people. A person who wants their college to offer them a broad view of society should attend UConn. One must also be a hard working student to survive at UConn because classes are competative. Anyone who wants to really become an expert in their field would do well to come to UConn. Therefore, students with open minds and dedication to their education and future would appreciate the atmosphere here and fit in well.

I think that any type of person can really attend this school. UCONN is a big party school and therefore students must be able to know and have the capability of balancing there social life and academics. This school has a very hard academic programs in which slacking off is not tolerated and if you do you will learn the hard way that it will cost you. Students who attend this school should be open to new and different ideas and should be willing to work as a community.

The type of person that should attend this school is an invidiual who knows how to manage their time. UCONN leaves little room for slip ups. As a student you need to be responsible and completley aware of your course and the work loads they require. UCONN treats you as an adult. Absolutley no hand holding. It can be a struggle adjusting to the University and its expectations, but the moments of achievement in your specific major or a course that seemed impossible are incredibliy rewarding.

I would recommend UConn to a very independent, determined student; someone that doesn't need someone always there to tell them what to do, but is able to accomplish what needs to be done on their own. UConn has some very competitive programs and a challenging curriculum that requires hard work and a lot of studying. It is hard to put in the right amount of studying without the advice and support that a smaller school offers. Also, it's a great school for the person that loves to get involved in different activities or is a huge sports fan!

Arianna

The kind of person should attend the University of Connecticut is someone who is very open to new things. The campus is pretty big and can be overwhelming in the beginning, but once you meet new friends and get situated, you will LOVE IT! If you like constantly meeting new people, working hard in great classes, you should attend UConn. This school is for someone who enjoys many extracurricular activities because there is more to do here than imaginable.

A student who is ready to learn at a high level, but also wants to enjoy the best experience of his or her life should attend UConn. A student who is ready to be proud of the university that they attend would excel at UConn.

Party people. I've found that most people here like to stay up literally all night, screaming and laughing.

Ryan

People who enjoy a good balance between work and social life should come to UConn. It's academic programs and faculty are very helpful, and the course material is presented, for the most part, in an interesting and engaging way. In addition to this, there is a wide variety of extracurricular clubs, programs, and facilities that students can use to meet other students with similar interests, or to make the most out of their stay at UConn.
