The People that are complaining are ones that will likely be miserable no matter where they go to school. If going to a big school is not for you then fine. Uconn is big but some people want that. Thats what makes sporting events and school spirit at Uconn. The surrounding area might not be great but get involved and find out about the little bars and restaurants in the surrounding towns that add to the nostalgia of the area. There are so many different types of people at this school that its hard to complain or say only such and such type of kids go here. The choice is yours for how ur experience will be. This school might not be for everybody but if u want a school that has a great reputation, great athletics, a diverse student body, great academics for not too expensive of a price, i highly recommend checking out Uconn.

questionWhere are these little towns exactly? Where is the diversity - other than the basketball team and the graduate science program - please fil me in
questionI am a little confused about your review on diversity? Where have you seen diversity here at storrs? The reputation is only because of the basketball program. After that professor at the medical school was caught falsifying research, grant money is going to be hard to come by. There are 3 bars in Storrs. Thats it, gets old.
responseI'd add insight but you both seem to miserable to even get an educated response. Willimantic, Conventry, Manchester.. I mean really open your eyes and explore. Mom and Dad arent gonna do everything for you. And please.. Uconn's not diverse? Go to a Private School in the North East and tell me about Diversity
responseI am from the area. I know…

Mom and Dad never held my hand kid.

In terms of private schools in the northeast and their diversity, as long as you do not count the Quinnipiacs/Fairfield University- like schools, yea some can be really diverse.
