the surrounding area?

<p>Hi, I'm a rising senior interested in UConn, have yet to go see it, but im going to go tour hopefully soon. As i looked up, storrs i kind of out there. Im wondering if the campus really just makes up the town. Also what kind of stuff there is to do in the surrounding area. Do most people stay around on campus? What kinds of things do people do when they go off campus? how far is someplace like Hartford from Storrs? If anybody can answer these questions, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks!</p>

<p>most people either stay on campus, or if you’re close some go home. there isn’t a whole lot to do in scenic mansfield, but uconn really provides a TON of activities / anything you could need. people somtimes go off campus to do community service / extracurriculars, or maybe to some bars off campus. so yes, the campus mostly does make up the town. hartford is about 30ish minutes down i-84.</p>

<p>hope i answered your questions!</p>

<p>yes you did thanks ! so would you say that there aren’t a lack of things to do off-campus?</p>
