I can’t speak to the pharmacy programs, but we visited both when Ds were applying to school.

U Conn is ranked higher in USNWR (60’s vs 90s) if that means anything to you. I thought the campuses each had a similar feel when we visited. I guess that’s a reason, though not compelling.

If one school offered you an honors program, and the other didn’t, I would give serious thought to taking that. Similarly, if one offered significantly more (merit or otherwise) money.

So – UConn, based on slightly better reputation, unless you really loved UMass were offered more money or honors program there.
