How good is this program?

I’m just curious if somebody in the Honors program would be challenged at the same level as if they were in a school that was more highly rated. UConn is a good school and I know that rankings are not everything, but US News rates UConn as #64 among national universities - would the Honors program be like a top 50 or top 40 school?

you still have to go into the general population at uconn so consider that.
i know i would be frustrated remember its a 54% acceptance rate, youll feel like youre in the 13th grade with B students at bestI In honors you will have some quality people but then youre still in the middle of nowhere with cows.

Storrs has a lot more going on there now than it did in the late 80s when I attended.

We thought in the “middle of nowhere” was actually a good thing to help focus on academics. But the town was very nice, safe and a 45 min drive to more urban locations.

That is my justification for not wanting to go to UConn! The cows LOL! But, in reality, it is a very good school. At my school, most Vals and Sals go to UCONN, so there will definitely be smart people.
