University of Connecticut At Hartford

Please note, that UCONN Greater Hartford will be relocating to the old Times building in Hartford possibly for the start of the 2017 – 2018 school year.
Being so used to CCSU’s campus, coming here for grad school is totally different experience. The campus is much smaller, due to the fact that it is a branch campus of UCONN. There are only five buildings: the small technology building, the library (with additional classrooms and an auditorium), the School of Social Work building, the Undergraduate building, and the maintenance building. That’s pretty much it.
There is not much of food options in between classes, only in the undergrad building you can pick up some on the go goods. It’s like a small convenience store with a couple of microwaves and lots of seating. If you want real food, your best bet is to go to Bishop’s Corner or Blue Back Square, both within a couple miles of the campus.
During the warmer months a lot of people like to walk their dogs or push baby strollers through the campus. There is also a small pond that is frequently inhabited by ducks and geese as well. Just watch out for geese poop littered throughout the sidewalks.
I wonder what UCONN will make of this campus after they move back to Hartford. I place my money on it being bought by University of St. Joseph. Either way, I’m sure the new campus will be much more beautiful than the current one. Plus the relocation will give students a lot more and better options to eat and play in between classes.
