Amazing school and professor
Overall 4.8
In my opinion, I think its a really nice campus. It's small and not too overwhelming like it can be in storrs sometimes. And there is a lot of diversity here as well.
Overall 4.7
I feel the people complaining about the clubs aren't looking for them. We have around 20 clubs and growing. people also fail to recognize the fact that were a smaller campus gives us more opportunity since its easier to meet higher ups. Im in multiple high positions and other campuses are so large or so competitive id be lucky to even be in one.

There are many opportunities on campus to be involved. The smaller campus and class size allows you to be closer to your professors and classmates which is very helpful.

I love Commuting here, the open architecture breathes fresh air into the building, creating a jubilant atmosphere for the students.

Great experience with mostly amazing faculty and smart peers
Bad reviews

Place is more akin to a community college than an actual university. They make you stay for 2 years prior to transferring to Storrs which actually makes it worse than transferring over directly from eastern/central (which will give you an actual college experience) after a semester or year.

Not a good business school.
Overall 1.2
Don't do it! Go to Storrs to begin with, Hartford campus is not worth it!
Overall 1.6
Just a disappointing school and not a very social environment. You also have to wait 2 years minimum to move up to the main campus which has all the clubs and activities. You just end up feeling like you don't even attend UCONN or that you're even part of UCONN at all, but just going to a sub par college just to get there.
Overall 1.7
If you want to save money and raise your GPA, go here. If you like high school, go here.

Horrible campus
Overall 1.8
The Hartford campus is way to small for my liking. No one really talks to anyone and keep to themselves. I wish it was bigger with dorms but unfortunately its an all commuter campus.
Overall 1.8
this school is ok but its no fun. the cafe looks like a gas station so the food is as good as gas station food, wish they had an actual caffeteria with real, hot food.

Not the best. But not the worst.

No life on campus.
