I'm a science major (Allied Health with a concentration in Physical Therapy) so the classes are pretty challenging but they are definitely manageable as long as you are a motivated student. The professors and TA's are really friendly and easy to approach if you have questions; they are very open to e-mails, seeing you after class or during office hours. Even though some of the classes are large the professors and TAs are still accessible. Also if you need extra help studying the Q Center, a tutoring center in the library, is run by students who excel in certain subjects and can go over your work with you.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love living at UConn. The campus is large, but not so spread out that it is overwhelming. There is always something going on. You can see shows and performances, attend lectures, go see a movie at the student union theatre, and the sports are amazing! If you go here I recommended getting football and basketball tickets, and attending soccer and some of the other sports. All of our teams are amazing and there's lots of school spirit. There is also a great social scene on the weekends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Being on out-of-stater UConn is pretty expensive, but I fell in love with the school and couldnt imagine myself anywhere else
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do well on your SATs! Your scores are super important when applying. I also recommended taking a tour and coming to the open house. Big schools aren't for everyone, so check it out before you commit.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you love sports, like being around a lot of people, want to get involved, and want a school with excellent academics then UConn is a great place for you to go :)
