@@JessRg9 Sorry you had bad experiences there. We all make the best of it. They're are resources that can help. Are you still attending UCONN? If so I hope you have better years ahead.
YES! The wind and the cold are terrible. And it's a big campus, so it can be a long cold walk to class. I'd say the worst problem, as an alum and CT resident, is that it just seems like the administration is more concerned about how the school ranks in the listing of best colleges than they are about the students. Over $1B has been spent building new buildings etc over the last 20 years, but they just keep tacking on tuition and fee increases every year to pay for it. When I went there it looked like a cement block prison. Now it looks like a luxury resort. Which is great if you want to attract full price international students, but not so great if you're a middle class in-state student.
75-79 , towers, school of engineering. I carry UConn with me to this day. Even after going through Carnegie Mellon and John Hopkins grad programs it is the heartbreaks and struggles at Storrs that made all the difference in my journey. Carpe diem.
UCONN is more diverse than I thought. CT is 70% white and UCONN is 15% lower than that. If there was an issue of diversity I feel the college would have a lower concentration of poc than the State but it's actually the opposite.
My guess is because most the people watching the game are in Hartford and not from campus. My other thought was you can only buy land that's available, especially when its as recent as 2003.
CT is about 11% black according to a quick calc. I believe UConn student body is about 75% in-state. I know they were trying to support/bring together some the black community with a program in Werth Tower.
“In the middle of nowhere, nothing fun to do here” umm aren’t you supposed to be studying? Maybe that’s why it’s on a mountain so you could focus on school.
Fair point however it doesnt really make for a well-rounded student. Being in the classroom is valuable but also opportunities are few and far between if you're in the middle of nowhere. If you're closer to a city, for example, you can scout out places for internships or co-ops where you could apply your classroom lectures in the world before graduating.
@@mma.y But for internships and co-ops they have it on campus in the student resources center and events like job fairs that take place in the beginning of the semester. I think cursing the school just because they don't have parties, bars, and ragers shouldn't make out the school to be bad when education should be the main purpose know what I mean?
When I went there I had only two complaints: the weather (very cold and super windy, especially in winter, but you do get used to it) and ultra-leftist tenured professors. Not much can be done about the weather situation, though....
In the spring there are bugs and snow everywhere, in the summer it rain every day, in the fall it’s windy asf, in the winter it gets below freezing at its warmest
1:05 he's an Engineering student that actually has to work hard and study for his degree. So it's a culture shock to him to go to a Philosophy class and find out that a good percentage of college students are there just to whine about how oppressed they are
Unbelievable....if it’s so bad why did you all go there? Did you not step on campus before making a decision? Rated top 20 public Universities in the Country be blessed your getting a great education!!!
2:25 when your entire life revolves around portraying yourself as a victim. Even though 80% of Connecticut is white, "about 45% of UConn’s Class of 2024 are students of color -18% are Hispanic/Latinx and 7.5% are Black. Of Connecticut’s 169 towns and cities, 162 are represented in the new class. A large number of transfer students come from Connecticut community colleges and other in-state institutions, the university said. At the Storrs campus, where about 3,900 freshmen are enrolled, about 42% of first-year students are ethnic and racial minorities, and about 14% are international students. Of the first-year students at Storrs, 51% are female and 49% are male." Hartford Courant

What are your thoughts about UConn??
Best university for bball
Husky is cute
So many more worse parts
Mood also I’ve been dressing in UConn merch since the day I was born

Hi Doug, are there any good apartment nearby storrs UConn? People working in UConn live in storss or some other nearby city? Thanks in advance.
Try the UW at Madison.
Why would the guy from MA pay 37K to go to UConn. Geez... just go to UMass as a state resident and pay a fraction of that.
Great point 😆
UConn is better academically
@@theoliviaarchives4794 Umass tuition and room and board instate is 33K - so not a big difference.

The only reason UConn is in the middle of nowhere is because right next to it is Hartford aka 860 , homicide city 🌃
Or that it started as an agricultural school so it needed the space. Its 30+ minutes from Hartford
Hartford is not that bad
Worst part was all the papers, 8 page, 16 page and 32 page papers and for some reason 1 1/2 space instead of double space .
what major did you have to do these insanely long papers for ?
Yay my state is recognized but only for UConn
Nice vid. We’ve been there several times for games, tours, events. Good comments from everyone.
Why is the football stadium is 23 miles away from campus? Like what the fuck!
My guess is because most the people watching the game are in Hartford and not from campus. My other thought was you can only buy land that's available, especially when its as recent as 2003.
they used to have one next to gampel but it was so run-down they tore it down and moved to east hartford for football
CT is about 11% black according to a quick calc. I believe UConn student body is about 75% in-state.

"it can be discouraging at the same time encouraging"....is this really the logic ofUniversity students? WOW. We have fallen far.
Cool video. Shout outs from California
Much appreciated Francisco. Hope to film out in Cali soon
@conniechung714 that's cool! Now that I'm older I think it would've been cool to live and study in another state.
I hated walking to class in the winter
At least they went on a nice day lol

Black fraternity should def be a thing tbh
Could be a great addition to UConn.
How about just groups that are inclusive and do not deepen the division? If I wanted segregation I would go back in time.
@Gustavo Montoya I agree with both of you
What happened to content of character not color of skin?
multiculturalism is a war of identity groups and is failing if you haven't noticed....@@danklove14
Kenny malin is the worst part about uconn
Is that an executive or administrator at the school or just someone you hate?
1:05 he's an Engineering student that actually has to work hard and study for his degree. So it's a culture shock to him to go to a Philosophy class and find out that a good percentage of college students are there just to whine about how oppressed they are
The curriculum is geared to make you think a certain way? My guy when the facts are leaning a certain way, it’s not that the facts are biased
UConn is not expensive at all LMAO compare it to other schools
Unbelievable....if it’s so bad why did you all go there? Did you not step on campus before making a decision? Rated top 20 public Universities in the Country be blessed your getting a great education!!!
So you can’t criticize your school now?
@Sirui Peng not true
@@siruipeng8914have you been to UConn? Most grad students are foreigners and we lead research in so many fields
