Review of University of Connecticut-Stamford

from Stamford, CT

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

Be especially careful when choosing your professors. I use Ratemyproff to carefully select mine. There may be a required class which only has one prof, if that's the case try to get a tutor (I use Wyzant). Don't be scared though, I've had amazing professors as well!

Will enjoy being here

I've already applied and I think it'll be alright, I don't like having to stay in my hometown because it does get boring being in the same place but for people out of state, it's close to NY because we're in stamford and there's a mall, well, it is a town.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The tuition is perfect for everyone and will you a diploma from a highly respected state school. To be honest, I'm not completely please with some professors, but like I said use ratemyprof!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

A decent GPA like 3.2 should get you a spot. When you choose your classes use ratemyprofessor.com to choose the best profs (or try to get them!). Join a club! Be active.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for In-state really, because it doesn't have housing so out of state would need to commute.
