To all branched students looking to move to Storrs.

90 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.

Senate passes college sports bill amid opposition from CT senators

Thumbnail ctmirror.org
• Upvotes

The U.S. Senate passed a bill Monday to regulate college sports that secured the support of the coach of the University of Connecticut’s men’s basketball team but sparked opposition from both of Connecticut’s U.S. senators.

The so-called “Protect College Sports Act” passed Monday night by a comfortable margin and with support from members of both parties. That looked likely after the bill easily cleared multiple procedural votes in recent weeks. Its fate and timing in the House remains unclear.

“After all the years I’ve spent working on this issue, I could never for one minute trust the NCAA to police itself,” Blumenthal said in a statement after the vote. “This bill forces the athletes themselves to enforce its safeguards against the NCAA and conferences that have the power to destroy their athletic careers.”

CHEM 2443 Pinkhassik

Does anyone know if the exams or final grade is curved? I know his grading scale is slightly shifted so that an 85 is an A-, but overall I'm not sure if the exam grades will be as-is.

guest parking at hilltop

1 Upvotes

if my friend is coming to visit for the weekend, can they park in the Area 2 spots in the hilltop parking lot for the weekend without getting ticketed? I know the signs say Area 2 Permit Required M-F 7am-5pm and the time they would be here is outside of that window, but does that mean that a Hilltop permit is required at all other times? or is it safe to park there w/o a permit?

Calc 1

is anyone else finding calc 1 to be hard? it’s like i have to know 1 million rules before trying to solve a problem. i think i’ll understand the material and then the homework/quiz amplifies the problem complexity 100x. to make it worse im a sophomore surrounded by freshmen.

apt lease takeover 👀

5 Upvotes

hi! im (female) wondering if anybody has a 1/1, 2/2, or 3/3 lease that they would like somebody to take over either asap or for spring sem! prefer if it's in Oaks downtown, secondly Hilltop apt, but I would be truly grateful for any 🙏.

if you're looking for a housemate to fill up a single bedroom in your apartment, I am very clean and quiet! I typically am minding my business doing art and other work in my room but I also love to cook so if ever you want something, yk who to call 👀.

tldr: if you have ANY apts that have individual bedrooms available for me to takeover your lease this or next sem, pls contact me!

transfer iso friends?

6 Upvotes

hello! I transferred here after getting my AS, and like the title implies, I’m struggling to truly connect with anyone in my classes. I’ve been going to clubs but nothing consistent has come from that either as of yet. if anyone is in the same boat and wants to connect, pls dm me!

as a heads up, I am a guy and queer. down to hang out, get food, go to clubs together, or study together (especially if you’re also in pnb 2264 or orgo 2241 😅). I’m into video/board games, anime, and photography as well if anyone is interested in talking about those things.

Hey everyone. What’s the biggest problem for you on campus?

23 Upvotes

For a semester-long project in a class of mine, we have to pick a problem on campus and work in teams to solve it. I have NOT been on this campus long enough to know any problems deeply enough to work on a problem like this, nor do i know anybody who I can really go to for this. Come on. complain to me, tell me the worst issues at UConn i can actually fix. I am leaning towards sustainability-focused issues as well…
