University of Connecticut Top Questions

Someone who does not want to put in the proper time / hard work for achieving success at a high level. Definitely a step up or two in intensity compared to the junior college I had attended before coming here.

I believe the University of Connecticut is a school for everyone who possesses desire and pride. There is a broad range of opportunities for aspiring students with an endless range of interests. Someone with no desire for connections, opportunities and success should not attend UConn. Students at my university, take great pride in their education, extra-curricular activities such as sports, and the overall school they represent. Someone who would not be prideful of this university should not be in attendance at it.

I don't believe there is a certain type of person that shouldn't attend this school. The University of Connecticut is a great school which can accomodate all types of people regardless of their personal beliefs. There are several student organizations around campus that someone will be able to find an interest in, regardless of what those interests may be. Any student who attends this university will be able to make the most of their time here and have a very memorable college experience.

I think a variety of people attend this school. There are those who are interested in environmnetal conservation and engage in outdoorsy activities, then there are those who have a passion for art and creative endeavors. There are those who are academically driven who have always done well academically but seem to lack much of a social life. Then there are those who simply like to drive away the stress of school with alcohol every weekend. Of course, there are the athletes who seem more focused on their athletic careers than anything else.

Students who are looking for a small school atmosphere and are not interested in getting invovled in sports or social clubs may not enjoy being at this school. Uconn certainly has a big school feel and unless you actively join clubs and participate in sports it may be difficult to make friends. The unviersity is highly spirtied and emphisises success in particular fields such as business, education, nursing, and engineering. If people are looking for a liberal arts college this is not the place for them.

A person looking for a very close knit, high school- like community should not attend this school. Though the University of Connecticut is very inclusive, one must be at least slightly outgoing to have a great academic and social experience at the University.

The kind of person that should not attend this school is someone who is really distracted by noise. Also, having school spirit is important.

Someone who is looking to get their hand held through college should question their choice in coming here. Although it is easy to find out the opportunities to gain experiences while at the university, it is totally up to you if you are going to take those opportunities. Getting to know a professor is important, but actually doing it is facilitated solely by you. Basically, the opportunities are out there by the hundred, but in order to take advantage you have to be able to motivate yourself- no one is going to be next to you leading the way.

Someone who is easily distracted by a party atmosphere. I have seen some students not do well by getting caught up in too much social life.

Introverted people that have a hard time making friends and do better learning in small groups should not attend this school
