Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Psychology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright First let me say that depending on what department you're in your experience will vary considerably. The academics and cost were the main factors on why I went to UConn. Academics: Depending on department depends on the quality of your academic experience. It's a research university so the faculty are not often selected for their teaching prowess . I have no complaints about the psych departments academics, they're top notch and have some leaders in the field. It is very easy to get your foot in the door in working directly with faculty on research projects. In fact I spent three out of my four years there working in faculty lead research teams. Facilities: Talk about false advertising! Unless you are a Business, Pharmacy or a select few other majors you are almost never going to be in the newer buildings. The Liberal Arts buildings are atrocious and many of them are falling apart. The university tends to invest more into the sports programs and the programs that bring about corporate investors rather than those that bring in lots of research grants. Social Life: Laughable at best. If you are a commuter you're not going to have much of one with the average Uconn population. Everyone tends to go home on the weekends. If you aren't into drinking there is almost nothing to do. Surrounding City Eastern Connecticut as a whole is a dead zone of activity. There isn't much to do in the entire region let alone UConn. There are several really amazing Pizza places near Uconn though Willington Pizza (off 32), Red Rock (off 44) and Dimitris (in Coventry). There's also an amazing Chinese place in the Big Y plaza in Tolland. Overall Academically I will recommend Uconn. But there's quite a few downsides to the university that tend to get glossed over in their self promotion. Collaboration/Competitive: A+, Surrounding City: D- Have a Question?

Connecticut is the richest state in the country you can tell by how snooty the students are, how much they show off, and how f***ing cool they think they are. The administration is a joke, this is the most bureaucratic school in the world. You will not get what classes you want, teachers you like, or ANY help from ANYONE Spend your money elsewhere, Uconn is a joke. Hot girls, thats about it.

I looked at several small liberal arts colleges in New England and was accepted at all but one. I chose UConn because it is a large university with a nice community feel to it. The campus is really pretty...the billion dollars or so that was spent to improve/expand it was very well spent! Education Quality: A, Surrounding City: B- Have a Question?
