Review of Eastern Connecticut State University

from Willington, CT

Describe your college in three sentences.

Eastern is a diverse community of learners who are well-integrated into the local community. Eastern offers many opportunities for professional development, as well as for networking and fun activities. This school is well worth the money with a practical education.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Enroll in a variety of courses from different subject areas, especially in the first two years, since these years focus on general education requirements. Eastern offers many opportunites to explore other fields and interesting topics with its gen-eds. Also, enjoy the activities they provide for you!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

At Eastern, you are responsible for your education. Professors here could teach at any university they desire, and you can go into a class willing to contribute and excel, and you will do great, but if you don't try, your grades will reflect it. Eastern won't 'give you grades' to keep you in the system.
