I absolutely love the UConn Storrs campus! It is a breath-takingly beautiful institution that really targets student learning and motivates the students to achieve their ultimate dreams in life. It is not only a place to climb higher on the education ladder but is also where life skills are honed. Life outside and beyond the college years are not always going to be smooth-sailing and UConn does a good job at preparing their students what to expect in the bitterness of reality. I love the awesome food that the dining halls provide and the programs offered by the university would cater to various interest fields. I enrolled in Psychological Sciences within the College of Liberal Arts and have nothing but great things to say about it. University of Connecticut is a wonderful place to learn and explore, I highly recommend it!
Review University of Connecticut
The University of Connecticut has so much going on -- all the time! With over 700+ clubs and winning division I sports teams, there is a sense of unity and family here at UConn. Everyday there are new posters, emails, and newspapers being printed and sent out that will have your calendar jam packed with student, cultural center, scholarly, voluntary, and entertainment events. But don't get nervous, there are so many resources on campus and online that will solve any and all the questions or advice you have about financial problems, academic matters, or even personal events. This campus believes strongly in the prosperity of not only your education, but in every individual because as strongly addressed on the Freshman Move-in Day celebration, you are the light.
The campus is so rich with diversity, there are hundreds on clubs and organization a student can become apart of. This makes it easy to meet new people and also allows the student to find out more about themselves such as talents, what their passionate about, and etc. The students take extreme pride in the husky community making the environment welcoming for transfer students and the freshman classes. The professors are extremely passionate about their field of work, making learning new topics more interesting. Most of them are also to willing to be flexible with their schedules in order to help the students become more successful. For being a huge campus, it is extremely safe and takes the safety of their students as the biggest priority. This school has lived up to so far, everything i wanted and pictured my college experience to be like. I am a student today, but a husky forever!
