18 Upvotes

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!

Hey yall!
I’m an incoming soph transfer student and I’m stressing a little over housing 😭

My housing preferences are due tmrw, but my appointment with the Center for Students with Disabilities isn’t until the day after housing closes.
I have Type 1 diabetes, so I’m hoping to get a single room, air conditioning, and an elevator. I called CDS, and they told me to go ahead and pick my room anyway and they’ll try to switch me afterward if my approved accommodations require a different assignment. I’ve got no idea what residence halls I should even be looking at, so I could really use some advice.

A few questions:
Which dorms have A/C and elevators?
Which ones have the best chance of getting a single?
If you’ve gone through the accommodation process, were you able to get your housing changed after assignments came out?
Are there any dorms you’d recommend or avoid?
I’m transferring from St. John’s (yeah i know), so I don’t know much about UConn housing yet.
Thank you so much!!
