Having spent three years trekking to a well regarded upstate NY university that is literally in the middle of nowhere … and as a UConn grad … I take exception to statements that UConn is in the boonies!

Hartford and Providence are both within night-out driving distance. Actually more than half of the state of Connecticut is within an hour’s drive – including the state capitol and the beach and a bunch of malls. So while UConn is not in a city – it would be considered a rural campus – it’s not that far from civilization.
