UCONN Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Connecticut

1.How is the diversity at Storrs. I'm Korean-American, and was wondering if there were a lot of Asians. At my school there wasn't a lot of ethnic background, and I was the one of the few Asians at my school.

2.I got admitted to Business undecided at storrs, was wondering if I can transfer to cs-major if I call the admissions office (future undergrad fyi not a student yet).

3. Do any of the kids from UConn travel into the city, during the weekends?

@KoreanPro1011 I think the diversity is in line with other flagship state universities in the east coast. Of course, if you are comparing to schools in California with a higher Asian population it will not be the same. Below are the numbers from Collegedata. The business school is well known regionally and from what I understand tougher to get into. I am not sure about transferring. Regarding travel they offer the Upass which allows for free travel in state on Metro North and buses. I think that if you want to go to NYC you may take the bus to Hartford, then another to New Haven and then Metro North to Greenwich since this will all be free. Then pay for the Greenwich to NYC portion on Metro North.

Are you visiting for the Admitted Student Days on 4/14 - that should answer all your questions.

There are a lot of Asian students at UCONN and a lot of Asian families in Storrs.
