The limited amount of parking for off campus students

The most frustrating thing about my school is that the social night life that occurs is usually associated with Fraternities and Sororities. Those that are not associated with Frats or Sororities are usually shut down by 12am so it gets very boring and repetitive on some nights.

The most frustrating thing about Uconn has to be, the inability to choose what campus I can attend to. With 5 campuses across CT, Storrs gets all of the glory. I attend the campus in Hartford, against my choice, as a commuter student and it has to be on of the most diffiucult tasks. Not only do I go to school but in order to go to school, i must have a car and must have a job. So time management gets difficult at times.

The Storrs Campus is nice and rural, but it is isolated from the outside world. There is a theater down the road and a few resturants, but there are no trains, and the bus system to and from Boston and New York round trip is around $66. If you like going out and venturing on your own, you will need a car because there is not much to do around except for the weekend parties, if you enjoy that. If you like the outdoors, join the Outdoor Club because it gets you off campus with other people.

Due to the size of the colleges, especially the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, you often feel like a number and not a person. For some this may be okay, but I prefer small classes, which you tend to only get in upper level courses, and places where people know my name; you can't always find that at UConn.
