UConn 2011

ha no way, ill be a freshman engineering major in the fall

sweet i think im gonna be going into comp sci what are you studying?

environmental engineering with honors... its going to be a bitch
but i already scoped a baller 6 kink that will be my goal to slide by the time i graduate

Uconn has some of the sickest rails ive ever seen, hit me up anytime you wanna ride

im not going but my buddy is and hes studying engineering.  lots of sick handrails around campus and whatnot. pm Chris...$  he goes there im pretty sure and would tell you anything you wanna know

rumor has it the cops are total dicks though

just to give you an idea of what can be done at uconn

Degree 7- UConn from Sevenpair Productions on Vimeo.

seems like half my high school goes there now. none of them skiers though. check out ski sundown if you want a fun small park to ride with great vibes. however you are going to be paying OUT THE ASS for a pass, but it is what it is. or check out Mt Snow if you got a whip and want one of the best parks on the EC.

get ready CT is really fucking boring not much to do there at all. never lived in the storrs area though so i cant speak for up there.

Damn, that was pretty sweet.

and yea what hawaiinsteeze said above, ski sundown is pretty tight, a bunch of homies that are pretty close to each other, good vibes too. And It's relatively close to UConn.

oh yea, visted for the past 2 spring weekends before this year. shit does indeed get rowdy as fuck

and after the ncaa championship? forget about it

i just graduated. went there for 5 years.

uconn is about an hour and 50 from mount snow, hour from wa, hour and 15 (maybe a little more) to sundown.

as a freshman, partying isnt that cool unless you A: have a fake ID and you go to the bar. B: have a close friend that lives in carriage, celeron or off campus house C: you join a frat. youll do a good amount of drinking in the dorm. dont get caught by the RA. as a sophomore, you start to know more people with more access to parties, transportation and booze. once youre a junior/senior and you turn 21, live off campus, know a lot of people, etc. it becomes really fun. bars are within walking distance and become the norm, i hardly went to any house/apartment parties senior (and super senior, woops) year.

the location isn't that cool. lots of cows and farmland, hartford is the closest city at around 25 minutes away but theres no point in going unless youre 21 or youve got a good fake. if and when it snows a lot, there are a few fun things to do in the area on skis, but make friends with someone with similar interests and a car. if you live in north or northwest, the best place to smoke at night is the graveyard. do not walk around with open containers, you will get fucked. when youre walking down the rape trail, cops will hide in the woods and probably make you dump out your backpacks full of beer. that sucks.

about a mile or two off campus, theres a 20 foot bridge into water thats always real fun to jump. its safe and the water is relatively clean. when you get there, look into the trampoline club. if its the same as before, they provide transportation to a gym with 10 professional olympic flybed trampolines. the only downside is, there is no foam pit and though the guy that runs it is nice, he's also kind of a tight ass about what you do. you just gotta get on his good side.

i hope all that helps, its pretty much the best advice i can give. if you have any other questions, feel free to PM me.

haha if you pause this at like 3:35 i put that white NS sticker on the top left part of the transformer box like 3 years ago. its still there today, nobody has noticed.


on a different note, anything you've heard about spring weekend doesn't apply anymore. they effectively shut that shit down this year, it was super lame. probably wont ever happen again.

hahaha sucks

way to sum up 5 years dan haha. good outlook on it though, pretty much covers the party feel. it all comes down to the friends you make and what you do with it. some of my favorite nights were freshman year in the dorm and most of my friends i made freshman year i kept in touch with the closest.

i always try to tell people that uconn has a lot of opportunities to get off campus and do really cool things you won't ever have access to again. get involved and go on trips like 10 dollar bus rides to ny for the day, or tramp club during the week. there's plenty going on you just have to make a little effort. i didn't do much until my sophomore year when i was more familiar with the campus and it made me wish i had done more freshman year. no regrets though, awesome people, good classes, in state price, close enough to mountains, plenty of snow in the winter. it's all what you make of it.

the one thing i would suggest doing at uconn is national student exchange. come to u of utah. you'll love it here! (based on true story)

one of my best friends lives in carriage...i dont live there but the place is out of control to say the least. Great time if you know people who live there

haha word i lived there senior year. its tight

alright real good info thanks, any chance there is someone in their junior or senior year with a car that would be down to take regular road trips to mt snow, i hear they have a really good deal on student passes.

alright awesome man, i was already up for orientation but we can chill whenever we get up there.
