studio art... and any other info?

<p>does anyone know anything about the art department at university of connecticut? </p>

<p>i'd like to major in painting. i'm attending an art school now, but it just isn't for me. i'd like to have a more diverse, interesting student body, feel more intellectually stimulated, and have a more interesting social life.</p>

<p>i was looking at umass amherst as well, but uconn is higher ranked, and seems to be more selective, which i would consider a good thing. does anyone have any kind of comparisons between the two?</p>
