Review of Eastern Connecticut State University

from Manchester, CT

Very small in a way that there's enough room but no one's getting lost all the time. Lots of support for students, if you're able to wait for it. Nice professors.

Aside from the expected noise on the weekends, dorms are clean, quiet and always have some activity or another going on in the common rooms, sometimes with animals or food.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Though it's not a home cooked meal the food is very good for that made to feed as many people as it does. Many options, many one can make on one's own.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Tons of clubs and always activities going on. Rooms like the cafe and the Pride room are nearly always open!

A bit expensive in tuition as is the case at all universities, but professors don't assign their own hundred-dollar books that are revised every year for double the cost for the sake of a sentence or two.
