The University of Bridgeport is an excellent return of investment as the academic programs are superior. Financial aid and grants are generous here and the tuition at UB is much lower than comparable universities. Safety is a priority on campus, as UB was ranked the safest college campus in Connecticut in 2018. UB is a friendly campus and very diverse. However, there are many negative aspects to UB. The food available to students is horrendous and many compare it to “prison food.” Repeats of the same meal are often seen for an entire week. Housing accommodations are lackluster unless you dorm in University Hall. The party scene is nonexistent here, but Fairfield and New Haven are a few miles away. To end on a good note, UB has many clubs and organizations to offer for students and we have a bowling alley!
I've loved my 3 years so far! The most important thing is the academics and I have no complaints. I've had wonderful classes, as well as wonderful professors. The smaller class size offered at UB is really great for more one-on-one connections with professors.
My first two semesters were a great experience! There are many opportunities to be involved with the community and the teachers that I had so far cared so much about their subjects. They are willing to work with you as long as they recognize you are willing to put in the effort. The dorms are the biggest I have seen compared to other schools I have traveled too. The food could be better and I wish all dorms would have A/C, but the view of the seaside is gorgeous.
