UConn is a weed out school especially the first 2 years where you're a number. The best bet is to go to a specific school not just Liberal Arts. For health science people like myself unless you're in the know you end up being stuck in biology, bail and take the human service route, or make up something (that's what I did). Unless you talked to a student you probably wouldn't find out there's an Allied Health and Nursing school on campus also that there may not have been a Public Health major as an undergrad, but there are at the graduate level. I was just talking about this with a coworker today who also went to UConn who had a stale feeling like me which was she was treated like a number but believes the quality of the education was good and that there was a lack of diversity appreciation among students.

The education you get is good but it feels like a cattle round up (which was actually across the street from my Sophomore year dorm) in that your just pushed along if you get left behind you get stomped on. I definitely should have gone to a smaller school. Love my friends though!

Also I was suprised about how so many white students had very little interraction with people of color prior to coming to the university and that limited view point created annoying to close to violent tension on campus.
