Best school in CT you will not regret it.

There are so many opportunities here at UConn and there are always people to help whether it be with academics or personal issues.

Reading a lot of these reviews, UConn does not get the credit that it deserves. A lot of students feel out of touch at times, coming from privileged places to speak negatively about the school, but it is really great. I would highly recommend UConn to anyone looking for a good education and dining hall food that beats a lot of other schools.

Awesome place, there's not much around without a car, but there's always a lot to do on campus.

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE !!! Boring school and location is in the middle of nowhere. Office staff is extremely unhelpful and take weeks to respond back to you. Not to mention to live off campus you need to be 20...weird. If you find looking at cows and grass to be fun then this is a great school for you.

The school was decent before the pandemic. However, professors stopped caring when everything went online. Many just uploaded PowerPoints and never responded to emails, yet still got paid a full salary. The school also builds multimillion dollar athletic facilities we don't need and increases the fee bill instead of providing any financial aid.
Overall 1.6
Total money grab school. Don't care about students at all, and any incidents go unpunished and are swept under the rug. Multiple felons are allowed on campus and allowed in dorms with roommates to the point many are uncomfortable. Highest SA in the country, school does nothing. Wifi is practically unusable, food is mediocre, no good restaurants.

You are 30 miles from civilization. The professors gaslight you, and blame you for their inability to communicate. It’s ok because the school covers for them. Let’s not forget all the sexual assaults that the university will not acknowledge in order to keep their #1 in New England status. Avoid this school if you can
Overall 1.8
This place is a huge waste of money. If you're considering uconn, don't. no one is helpful, the financial aid is a joke (they hardly give any), they don't care about the students at all, its a business not a college. all they want is your money.
