What are your general comments?
-
Due to the snow, everything got thrown off. The faculty I met were enthusiastic and the students I spoke to by phone/email seemed content with their program but the fact that people live so far from campus isn't appealing to me.

The interviews were very conversational and not so much of a question-answer style. They asked me the most basic questions (i.e. why UConn, research interests, current experiences), but nothing tricky.
What was the most interesting question?

They asked if I had any questions re: their program.

The faculty members seemed really great, and I really liked the type of clinical training offered.
-
Student enthusiasm, size of campus.
What impressed you negatively?
-
The crappy location of storrs
-
Most students live about 30+ minutes away from the campus
-
U Conn canceled interview day due to snow but I had already flown out. I was disappointed by how quickly they gave up on the whole thing and didn't try to come up with an alternative meeting place. It left me with the impression that the faculty there are far more interested in doing their research than making an effort to reach out to the interviewees... definitely a sign of how they probably treat their current students.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
-
Most students don't live on campus. Neither do faculty. Even though they all say it's a close-knit community, the fact is, they all commute 45 minutes on average each way.
