To all branched students looking to move to Storrs.

Upvotes

EDIT - Folks correctly pointed out Spring to Storrs is not applicable. There is a limited process to change campuses in before the usual 54-credit requirement.

I'm a CLAS and UConn MPA alum who worked an on-campus job in an advising office. Unless you can demonstrate substantial new information that was not presented on your application, UConn WILL NOT accept your appeal for a campus change to Storrs. The University received 55,000 applicants, and there will be Storrs students that probably won't have access to housing. I understand this is disappointing, but it's not the end of the world. There is a process to request an early campus change to Storrs: https://campuschange.uconn.edu Make sure you do well. UConn will generally prioritize majors that require courses only offered at Storrs.

I seriously recommend the Community College route. It is incredibly inexpensive, and more or less all of your credits will transfer. UConn maintains a database of how specific courses will transfer here: https://admissions.uconn.edu/apply/transfer/transfer-credit/equivalencies/. If you want the "traditional" college experience, all of the CSUs, including Central and Eastern are good schools. Finally, it is MUCH easier to get into Storrs as a transfer student. I graduated HS with decent extra curriculars, employment experience, and a 3.9 unweighted GPA. I was branched, and disappointed. I attended UMass Amherst for one year, and successful transferred to UConn for my sophomore year with only a 3.1 college GPA. I regret going to UMass that one year because of the insane cost.

It's disappointing, I know - but you can get into Storrs soon, (almost certainly by the end of your Sophomore year). Do well, and good luck. Feel free to PM me any questions.

Where’s a good place to study for a commuter with a huge gap?

Upvotes

Hello some days I have a 6-7 hour gap between classes where are the best places to hunker down for a while? Is this just going to be the main library? I found a spot in Austin on the 2nd floor that also doesn’t seem too bad but wondering was else there is, campus is so big

Grad students who listen to music?

Upvotes

I have found absolutely zero indie music scene here, most events feel catered to undergraduates (radio events or house shows) Are there any good bands that play in public? Boston and New Haven have good shows, but a far drive for one night.

Hartford students, how safe is taking the 913 in the evening?

Upvotes

I’m a girl who wants to take the bus in the evening, I’ve only ever taken it in the morning and don’t know what it’s like. I assume it’s fine, but I always hear so much panic about Hartford crime, I was wondering your experience? I will have to be waiting on the street outside the capitol/ near Union station if that makes a difference

Wanting to be in Greek life while commuting

Upvotes

I’m currently commuting to UConn Hartford, but I’ll be dorming at Storrs next semester since I’m in the Spring to Storrs program. I really want to rush a sorority, but I’d have to drive to Storrs a lot until next semester when I dorm. I want to rush because it’s so much harder to make friends while commuting at the Hartford campus, and I feel like Greek life could help me meet people and get more involved so when I live on campus I would already have people I know and campus life would be sort of easier to handle as a spring to storrs student. I’m just not sure if I should rush because I would have to commute to storrs probably all the time during the week.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is it worth rushing now or should I just wait till the spring to do COB?

Winter Writing Course

Upvotes

Aiming to graduate in the winter, but the last course I need to graduate is a writing course. Looked at the list of classes for winter session and it seems there are no W courses… has anyone previously taking a W course during winter session or is in a similar situation and wants to spam them to add one. I already requested them to add some but if anyone else is in a similar situation or has information let me know!!
