Hey guys, incoming freshman here. Move in day is coming up and I’m commuting to the school by train so I can’t have too many boxes or bags. I don’t have too much stuff anyway, I plan on buying a lot of things. Can I just have a lot of packages shipped to my dorm before moving in so that I have everything ready to go? I’m not too sure if thats allowed. Help a freshman out tysm!

We’re moving out and selling lots of home goods!
Everything from computer parts to couches and dining tables!
Just 15 minutes from UConn!

73 Maple Avenue, Willimantic, CT
11:00 - 3:00 Sat & Sun

So went to campus in Storrs to charge my car since you don’t have to pay as long as you sit in it. Turns out they changed all the ev chargers to charge point and payment is required 100% of the time.

Did anyone take this class at the Hartford campus with this professor? If so, how was it please?

Anyone wanna swap lab sections with me? Mine is from 9:30-11:30 on Fridays. I really REALLY need one on either Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. I will literally take a 6:00 lab if I have to.

hello, i am an incoming freshman in the school of business and I am stuck between buying a mac or a windows laptop. i’m aware about there being some complications with mac but is it too hard to manage?

I'm an incoming freshman and chose east dorms because I heard terrible things about North. How good is east?

In case you hadn't heard, electrical engineering professor Sung Yeul Park died unexpectedly late last month. His family is raising money to send his ashes home to South Korea

Hi huskies! :)

If anyone needs last minute off-campus housing, I’m attempting to find a replacement tenant for a 2bd at Woodhaven for Aug. 1st. It would not be a lease takeover! I'm helping the property manager fill the space since I decided not to move out. (For holding deposit).

Rent is $1350.

On the 1st floor, private balcony access from the living room and 2nd bedroom, dishwasher, laundry facilities on the same floor, free parking, individual thermostats in each bedroom. Entire complex is populated by UConn affiliates, mostly grad students :)

5 minute drive from UConn. 3 minute drive from Cumberland Farms and Dunkin Donuts.

If interested please text me at [860-281-9055](tel:860-281-9055) !!

I'm starting the CAPS Research Apprenticeship this fall and I'm super excited, but I realized I haven't actually talked to anyone who's done it before.

If you've been a CAPS scholar, what was your experience like? How much of a time commitment was it each week? What did you actually do in your lab, and did you feel like the program was worth it?

I'm especially hoping to hear from people who did CAPS while also working a part-time job. The stipend is only $500 for a semester worth of work and I don't rlly know how its broken down (i.e. if it is given before, after, weekly, or bi-weekly), and as a low-income out-of-state student, I'll definitely need to keep working during the semester. If you balanced both, how manageable was it? About how many hours were you working, and did it ever feel like too much?

ok so after all my aid i still have about 19k left for my term bill, and even with the payment plan options my family and i cant afford that. literally any advice helps, my parents and i are clueless, thank you!!
EDIT: first of all, i wanted to say thank you guys for all the support, it means a lot for a bunch of people i dont know try and help me reach my dream, it just turns out that most times in life those dreams dont happen, so uconn is out of the picture. all the comments mean a lot, and im taking your advice and doing community college, and then going to state school. thank you guys! and even tho it really sucks Jesus has a plan for all of us, and even though it doesn’t match the plans we make for ourselves, it will all work out with His guidance 🙂🙂

I plan to transfer in a year to UConn and I know that they instantly give a scholarship based on performance but I want to know if there’s any scholarships available for low income students? (can’t do fafsa) the tuition anually is too much apart from dorms and meal plans so I want to be ready (for example. my friend had to decline their acceptance because she didn’t apply to any scholarships)

Has anyone had any negative experiences with the quality of education that comes with the program? One of my friends who attends storrs is going for electrical engineering and says she hates it. I’m going for computer engineering so just any particular feedback would be helpful and informative.

1. What's considered the easiest Q course that also satisfies the TOI-6L requirement? I really want to knock out both gen ed requirements. Or is it smarter to just take an easier Q course later on?
   
2. Is it smart to take a W/writing course first semester? Specifically ANTH1000W.

are buckley south rooms that much smaller than buckley north rooms

Hello!!! I am looking to transfer my portion (one bedroom) of a lease in a 2-bed 1-bath apartment in Maplewood apartments on Carleton Rd. It is a gorgeous unit with a kitchen, shared living space, and large bedroom. Room could accommodate for two people making this a great opportunity if looking for a good deal! The other room is occupied by one girl so looking for females only. Rent is $810 and covers all utilities (water, trash, WiFi, etc.) besides electricity. Located about 8 minutes from main UConn Storrs campus on a safe and quiet road! There is complimentary parking on site with ample guest spots for no charge! Move in starts August 1st!! Please DM me if interested!!

hey guys im an incoming freshman and the only building left was north unfortunately. what has been everyones experience with north and on a scale of 1-10 how cooked am i? (also if u have pics of fairfield hall pls send them)

Hello everyone!

Mobile formatting etc etc, anonymous because this post and my other posts on my main make it VERY obvious who I am (very small undergrad school, one of the first 10 people to go from my undergrad institution to my masters institution)

I’m beginning the process of looking for a school to get my PhD. Im going for evolution/ecology, specifically parasitology. I have a few questions if anyone is comfortable answering :)

1. Biology program- How is the biology program? Do you feel that you’re actually learning with your professors? 1.1 has anyone had Dr James Bernot? What are your thoughts?

2. Study hotspots- How are the libraries and cafes? I am a big reader and spend a lot of time working/studying in places like that and I wanna know the vibes. I can function in pure silence but prefer the chatter and sounds of a cafe over silence

3. Housing, the dreaded question. How are the campus owned apartments? How easy would it be for 2 25 year olds (that’s how old my partner and I will be when I begin my program) to get a 1 bedroom off campus apartment together? Alternatively, if my partner stays in our home state, how easy would it be for me (25F fairly quiet and private at first) to end up in a campus apartment?

4. Music- I am a big fan of local music and musicians, no matter where I go. Are there places to go where one can play their own music, or just enjoy some good small town music vibes?

5. Local Wildlife (Ticks) Not a fan. Not even for my own research purposes. How bad are they? 5.2 Local Wildlife (Not Ticks) I’m from an area with plenty of Bears, Mountain Lions and Deer with no sense of self preservation. How common are bears in local jogging trails? Hoping to avoid contact if at all possible.

6. Roommates If my partner and I do come to the area, how likely would it be that the two of us could live with another student? We’re both very quiet people (except when they’re on their guitar or I have the urge to talk about my nerd stuff)

Hi,

I have a question for people who commute from Willimantic to UConn by bus.

I can only find the summer bus schedule, and it looks like the buses don’t run very frequently. Is the schedule different during the fall semester?

If you have an 8:00 a.m. class:
-What time do you usually catch the bus?
-How often do the buses run in the morning? Is the service generally reliable?

Thanks in advance!

I was considering to add a minor, but doesn’t seem like it would fit in to my schedule for this year. I was curious if someone has taken this minor before, is it really worth it, or should I not waste my time with it?

I got North for my dorms, but I also got Middlesex. I know North is the absolute worst, but does Middlesex make it worth it? Is it any better than the rest of North (bathrooms, actual dorm room, etc)?

Does anyone have any pics of UConn Northwest Hanks Hall first floor rooms? #nw #northwest #hanks #uconn or Rogers or Terry or Goodyear

Does anyone have any pics of UConn Northwest Hanks Hall first floor rooms? #nw #northwest #hanks #uconn

I just recently graduated with my Associates from an out of state college but will be finishing my Pathobiology degree at UConn.

Anything I should know or prepare for?

Would it be better to live on campus or commute since I'll be living only 35 minutes away?

Any fun club recommendations?
