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!!

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)

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)

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

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?

Hi everyone, so I'm currently facing a schedule crisis right now because I had originally enrolled in a PNB lab section that meets from 9:30-11:30 on Fridays, but now it's not working AT ALL with my schedule. If anyone is willing to swap with me, I would REALLY appreciate that. If anyone is enrolled in the Tuesday lab sections that meet after 9:15 or even Wednesdays after 12:05, please lmk!!!

Also, side note: For MCB 2000, it says we need to enroll in a discussion section, but how come there's literally only one offered with only 14 spots????

Hi! I'm going to be a freshman in college and got accepted into ccsu for pre-nursing, already paid the 200 dollars but still unsure if its the right path because at the end of the day i most definitely want to go to UConn.

Idk if i should just go to cc and stay for a year, complete my credits and then apply for ACES because I am still unsure about going into nursing or go into MIS with a minor in Marketing.

Also want to know if it is possible to transfer after a year and what should my stats be.

Any tips would be appreciated as a first generation college student. Thanks!

There is a red box on my UConn dorm that I will be in this upcoming semester. It kinda looks like a handicapped sign but neither me or my roommate are handicapped and it didn’t say anything about it being handicapped, from google it says it’s a fire escape but I really don’t know. How does this red box affect me/ what is it?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to decide where to live for the upcoming semester and would really appreciate some advice.
The apartments close to Storrs campus either don’t have any one-bedroom units available, are pretty expensive, or are older and don’t include things like an in-unit washer and dryer.

I’m considering living in downtown Hartford instead, but I don’t have a car, so I’d be relying on public transportation. My classes will most likely be 3-4 days a week, and they start at 8 AM.

For those who have lived downtown:
Is public transportation reliable enough to get to an 8 AM class on time?

Has anyone had 8 AM classes while commuting by bus? How was your experience?

Would you recommend living downtown, or is it worth paying more to live closer to campus?

Even if I live closer to UCONN Storrs, I still need to rely on the bus because I don’t have a car. I’m also looking for a one-bedroom apartment since I don’t want to have roommates, and there aren’t many affordable options available right now.

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!

i’m an incoming freshman and just got put into towers, specifically fenwick :)) i cant find many recent posts about it

Did anyone take ENGL 1007 with Dr. Kazuki last spring (of 2026)? How was the course-load and would you recommend him? I couldn’t find them on Rate my Professor so any info is greatly appreciated!

My roommate and I just selected a double in Towers Beecher hall. I’m just wondering how good/bad the hall and surrounding area is, thanks!

UConn is alleged to have operated three discriminatory university housing programs that classify students on the basis of race, color, or national origin, in violation of the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

These programs are ScHOLA²RS, BSOUL, and La Comunidad Intelectual. You can download the complaint at the bottom of the article.

Thoughts?
