No. No freshman with cars unless they attend regional campus
There’s a brand new (opened about a month ago) hockey arena
It literally is in town, you can walk to restaurants/grocery store in 5-10 min. Easy.
Buses to Hartford are free for students with UPass. They go every hour right from campus or downtown Storrs. Very easy and convenient.
No need for car and truly parking is a nightmare at best.
Where does UConn play their home football games? Our tour guide said the stadium is on campus but I think that’s wrong. If it is off-campus, how far away is it and are students shuttled there? I know they haven’t been good, but do students still go to the games? Is there a lot of school spirit with football like they have for basketball?
The games are at a stadium in East Hartford (~20 min away). They do have buses but you have to sign up as students to get spots.
This past season they made it to bowl game. No team spirit is like basketball here, but they are getting more as team improves/ with new coach
Any other sports play off-campus?
Basketball at the XL center sometimes (Hartford), and they are redoing floor in Gampel soon so maybe more next year? Not sure.
I think that’s it
Hmm I stand corrected then! I did see the little stores under the apartment complexes across the street but to us that felt like part of campus. We are headed back to NE in April to re visit schools and if D23 gets in and gets decent merit I think we’ll need to head over to take another look! Lots of things to love about UConn no doubt.
no problem! hockey is huge in ct, i even play. the women’s team is just as good as the men’s and it’s awesome to have the arena right on campus. they have ice skating nights there which are super fun. uconn has amazing sports so it’s always a lot of fun
My daughter the impression it was just too rural/isolated for her tastes. But she even felt that way about Penn State which has a much bigger surrounding college town. I thought it was beautiful and I’m sure there’s so much going on campus but to each their own.

Question for those that logged into student admin and the other one…there is a place that shows an email. Do you see personal email or a uconn.edu email?
I ask because I have twins that applied and one of them has a uconn.edu email listed and the other does not. I so hope this doesn’t mean anything.
Personal email only. Sorry that must be stressful in your house!

I have not gotten anything, but I don’t have a uconn.edu account. What is the email about?
They applied to same schools and have been accepted into all… expect UMASS, twin A accepted and twin B waitlisted. Twin B has better stats, scores, etc…so go figure.
One of the posters mentioned they could log into student admin…so we tried it and one twin it showed personal email address and the other a had an edu email.
That’s good, at least they have choices. There is no figuring out this process! This is my 3rd and, thank goodness last one, and there is no rhyme or reason to decisions this year. My other two were pre covid so this seems like a whole new ballgame. Good Luck to your twins!

Ah, yeah. I can get on student admin and it has my personal email listed. I haven’t gotten any emails yet, so we’re crossing our fingers.

I got in but don’t see any email listed. There’s a place to add it though.
Are you talking about huskyct or student admin? My huskyct is like that but student admin has an email pre-set.
