The classes are very in depth. With the size of the classes, there isn't much one one one time with the professor, if any, so how much you learn depends completely on you. You can choose to stay on top of things on your own or you can utilize the vast amount of resources that UConn supplies for students to help with their studies. If you need extra help, then it isn't hard to contact the professor or a TA. If you choose not to pay attention and learn, then you won't and your grades will show it.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Once again, this completely depends on the student. Involvement is a big part of whether you enjoy it here or not. Some students don't like it here because they feel bored and don't have a lot of friends. The school may be big and overwhelming at first, but it's important to find a few clubs or organizations (choose from over 300!) that you enjoy and can meet people in. Sports and school spirit are huge here, so if you love to watch UConn sports events, this is a great place to do it. Even if you don't participate in the sports events much, there is still SO much to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The food is good (depending which dining hall you decide to go to) and there's almost always something to do(if you open your mind!) Even with the huge classrooms, it is easy to get in contact with the professors. I only wish there was more to do off of campus. UConn is completely surrounded by fields and cows, not much else.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get INVOLVED! It might make the difference between loving the school and hating it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UConn is a great school for huge sports fans. It is also great for students who are independent and love to get involved.
