UConn Computer Science and Social Life

I was recently accepted into UConn from MA, and I plan on majoring in computer science. I realize that I don’t know much about UConn, if not at all. How is their computer science program? Is it up to par? Do students find jobs/internships easily? Do they have hackathons, and other computer science activities?

I understand that UConn is a very big school, is it hard to make friends? What’s the social life like? I also know it’s kinda in the middle of nowhere, is there a lot of stuff to do? What do students usually do on the weekends (if they’re not studying)?

I would just like some more insight on UConn and what type of school it is. I appreciate your responses. Thanks!

Uconn is just like Umass Amherst only with better sports lol
