    Do not take chemistry at this school unless you want to fail and get kicked out of your department and put on academic probation. UConn overall is a good school, but (some) of the people are definitely snobby. There's plenty of opportunities and clubs and lots of help with careers if you want it! ...Continue reading

    Once you get in, your completely on your own. Admin staff doesn't really care about your success. I went through hell trying to transfer into Storrs. Community colleges were in better shape than this building. Its the state, there are NO JOBS in ct, period. Most graduates go to NYC. If you want to get a job, go to a school in a place where the jobs are. Uconn's own economic report states 2016 until we see jobs returning to CT. I do not want to wait that long. 25+ years of no job growth. ...Continue reading

    This is a good campus, you are able to save some money and get the college experience. This is a commuter school, so dont expect to party all day and night. SGA has alot of simple fun events going on all the time. It's not as big as the Storrs campus obviously but try and make the best with what you have, if you cant I suggest you go elsewhere. The stamford campus is great because it's only a 50 minute train ride to NYC compared to farmland storrs. It's surrounded by many bars and restaurants (I enjoy happy hour downtown when I can), but it's not a party school. It's alo surrounded by so many financial firms and tech companies for job opportunities. ...Continue reading

    Gorgeous campus, top notch professors, looks very good on a resume and also when applying to grad school, I wish they had more activities for commuting students and better communication with them as well. Before you sign up for classes you should look up your professors, if you don't, you will want to shoot yourself with the amount of work you have to do.

    Really like this campus, it is small and charming. If you're thinking of studying HDFS go to stamford vs. storrs. Myself and other hdfs students that have taken classes at Storrs all agree Stamford is the way to go. You'll learn so much more and the teachers are amazing!!! Wish I did all 4 years here!! There's not a great variety of classes offered. It's more one on one oriented than the Storrs campus. Class size can be anywhere from 40something to 15 in a class. It's in a great location, downtown Stamford, always something to see and do. ...Continue reading

    This is a good campus, you are able to save some money and get the college experience. This is a commuter school, so dont expect to party all day and night. SGA has alot of simple fun events going on all the time. It's not as big as the Storrs campus obviously but try and make the best with what you have, if you cant I suggest you go elsewhere. The stamford campus is great because it's only a 50 minute train ride to NYC compared to farmland storrs. It's surrounded by many bars and restaurants (I enjoy happy hour downtown when I can), but it's not a party school. It's alo surrounded by so many financial firms and tech companies for job opportunities. ...Continue reading

There's not a great variety of classes offered. It's more one on one oriented than the Storrs campus. Class size can be anywhere from 40something to 15 in a class.

    UConn is a great school in terms of resources and variety of course work, but I would not repeat in coming here again. They are all about money. However, after a while, you've seen everything, and I found myself getting really lonely after a while.

She is sometimes confusing but if you go over the notes you should do fine. Often the questions on the exams use the same wording as in her notes. She posts powerpoints online which rules. She goes above and beyond what is required in order to help you succeed. Get ready to read, memorize and study hard! The exams aren't difficult if you put in the time.

    It's a tough class. Like everyone else says, Chem. is a tricky subject. She knows what she is doing, and has potential to be a great teacher (she's very smart), but is too fast pace. If she took time to explain things, the class would run until the actual end time of the lectures, which it doesn't. Tests are very difficult. I would avoid her. I actually really wanted to learn chemistry and was disappointed. I never missed a lecture and what she does is read the powerpoint. If there's math involved she'll do it on the board but she flys through it without really explaining what's happening and why. Basically, try not to take her. If you get her, good luck. ...Continue reading

    She is not that bad honestly. She is willing to help you out but, of course, you have to ask for help it is not pre-k,it's college. She is fair and helpful. Lastly, a piece of advise, do homework ! It's really helpful because you are always practicing the material. And of course, do not wait until the last minute :) ...Continue reading

    Since her thick accent is hard to understand, her clarity isn't the best. Elsafty makes me dread going to class since it is two and a half hours long. She gives quizzes every class and two exams throughout the year. If you miss a class, she wont teach the material you missed. Just avoid this class and her if you can. ...Continue reading

    course consists of many mini quizzes which are essentially homework. Her lectures are all powerpoints but they're the only stuff on the exams. Only 4 exams. She is sometimes confusing but if you go over the notes you should do fine. Often the questions on the exams use the same wording as in her notes. She posts powerpoints online which rules. She goes above and beyond what is required in order to help you succeed. Get ready to read, memorize and study hard! The exams aren't difficult if you put in the time. The class is demanding, so if you're a new student, be prepared! I haven't had a professor who has supported students as much as she does. ...Continue reading

    Her class is very fast paced. You have to study every single slide from every Power Point! She is nice, but be prepared to study, especially if bio is not your thing. The material is not tough you just have a lot of assignments. These include 5 exams, and lab work (with 2 mini exams). Do the extra credit and you should be fine. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK, everything you need is on huskyct. ...Continue reading

    It's a tough class. Like everyone else says, Chem. is a tricky subject. She knows what she is doing, and has potential to be a great teacher (she's very smart), but is too fast pace. If she took time to explain things, the class would run until the actual end time of the lectures, which it doesn't. Tests are very difficult. I would avoid her. I actually really wanted to learn chemistry and was disappointed. I never missed a lecture and what she does is read the powerpoint. If there's math involved she'll do it on the board but she flys through it without really explaining what's happening and why. Basically, try not to take her. If you get her, good luck. ...Continue reading

    She is the best biology teacher I have ever met. Although the course itself is super hard, she is willing to share her experience and trys her best to let student understand. You will go for it! Will help when asked, but class is very tough & because she is a genius (4 degrees) she is tough to understand in lecture & goes too fast. Gets angry when students do poorly (which is always). 3/4 of the class is failing, but not her fault (it's the curriculum) Don't go to class. Self teach ...Continue reading

    Dr. Durstin is like a computer. I would not take it with her,if i knew it was going to be this hard. You can study and think you know what is going on. .then the test comes and your like. WHAT! &#63! &#63! She can teach. she explains stuff well but good luck figuring out what she will test you on. I got a c and i studied more than any other class. She's very intelligent and knows what she is talking about. I've taken her before and I'm excited to take her again. I learned a lot in this class. ...Continue reading

    She is very friendly, but as far as teaching goes she is not very helpful or straightforward. She's not a bad teacher and provides extra classes for kids who want extra help. no one has grounds to say otherwise. her class is bland but most people just aren't used to the amount of content that's expected in college level courses. easy A if you study Answers to questions on the test are answered either her way or no way. She's there for extra help but even when you go she's still not very helpful. just repeats stuff from class. This course is heavy on memorizing so if udk how to study you're screwed :/ ...Continue reading
