There are many advantages to living on-campus. For one, there is no need to worry about commuting in poor weather, getting stuck in traffic, or finding a good parking spot. Everything is within reasonable walking distance, or otherwise accessible by bus.
Personally, I love being so close to everything. It is convenient to hang out with friends, meet up with classmates, and is a good way to meet new people. Since campus offers so many resources (e.g., gym, arcade, library, food, technology, events, etc.), there is always something to do. I’ve really enjoyed my time living on-campus, as it has allowed me to more fully immerse myself in UConn’s culture, atmosphere, and all it has to offer.
