I'm only about a quarter of the way into my freshman year but enjoying my time here so far. I'm a residence here and the only thing I can say is some of the people are gross and sometimes there is trash in the bathroom and other gross things (obviously this isn't something that is the schools fault but I feel like I should mention it). Everyone here is really nice and it's easy to make friends. The dining hall isn't the best but they are always welcome to new ideas which is good. Overall, it's a really good school and definitely worth the money. Also since it's in New Haven there is always something to do here!
The school is fine, definitely what you'd expect from a public university. So far the professors I've had have been decent (make sure you read reviews for them before enrolling in their class!). It annoys me that we are required to take random classes like Spanish 200 (even though I took 3 years in high school) and other classes required as a freshman that just got made an elective. Having everything online has been challenging but it's just like every other school right now. Definitely a very Liberal school. (if that's your thing you'll fit right in!) but beware if you are neutral or right leaning politically in even the slightest capacity, get ready to be secret about it! That's not to scare you as most liberal arts colleges are like that.
pretty inexpensive and okay! definitely diverse in terms of the type of people and backgrounds which is cool, but everyone thinks the same, and if you say even anything offbeat to them you'll get judged hard.

Very pretty campus and super nice people. Everyone is very welcoming to new students. Classes are nice, most professors are very easy to get along with. Dorms are decently big and clean for the most part. Everyone os courteous of each other and its an overall very great place to be. The dining halls food is okay, not a big selection though. They serve the same things over and over and usually the things they say they'll have on the menu aren't actually being served. Other than that, the campus is a fun and diverse place to live and learn on!
