What are the cheapest options to look for like renting a room because I dont think I will have enough to rent my own apartment
Hi everyone, I’m moving out and looking for someone to take over my room near UConn/Storrs.
The room is in Willington, about an 8-minute drive from campus. Rent is around $680/month, and utilities usually come out to about $60/month per person. You would have your own private bedroom and share the unit with 2 existing roommates.
The room comes with a bed frame and mattress included for free, so it’s move-in ready. The unit also has a shared kitchen and living room, plus parking available and a laundry room downstairs.
Move in can be immediate, and it’ll be first come, first served. This would be a sublease / lease takeover arrangement with the current roommates.
Feel free to message me if you’re interested or have any questions!

Hi everyone!
I recently accepted a position as a Research Technician at UConn Health, and I'll be moving from Baltimore to Connecticut soon. I've never been to Connecticut before, so I'd really appreciate any advice!
I'm looking for recommendations on:
I'd ideally like to rent a studio or a 1-bedroom apartment, but my budget isn't very high, so I'm also open to sharing an apartment with a roommate if that's the more affordable option.
Any tips, recommendations, or things I should know before moving would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Free men’s jackets, just cover shipping
Giving away some old clothes (just pay shipping)
Spring cleaning!!
jackets / hoodies, you pay shipping
I have a handful of adult large, on brand jackets and hoodies I am getting rid of, I have listed them all for $0.99 on eBay, and will accept an offer of $0.05 if you send it to me, you just need to pay the shipping, all clothing is good condition, just doesn’t fit me anymore and I’d rather get it to someone who wants it than throw it away!
we used to be able to drop a class up to 10 days into the semester without penalty but the rules have changed to 1 day starting this fall. if you drop a class any time after the first day of classes you have to pay 10% of the cost and it goes up even higher after the first week. confirmed w the bursar's office. why is no one talking about this? it's literally insane
Only took pre calc and regular high school physics and haven’t taken chem since sophmore year. I’m gonna be commuting too 💀
Hi! My partner is starting UConn's DMD grad program next year and, after a weekend of touring every place we could, we've narrowed down our housing options to two top places. Our biggest concern at the moment is the utilities price, we've been warned that electric bills can get up in the $500 range in the winter. Before we make our decision, we were wondering if people had any additional insight into utilities cost (especially electric/heat) or other important things to know about:
Ivy Woods in Tolland - We would get a 1 bed, 1 bath
The Standard in Storrs - We would get a 2 bed, 2 bath using a current special to get it in our price range
We've heard a lot of mixed reviews about the Standard and honestly can't find much at all about Ivy Woods so any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
I'm taking MATH 1020Q this summer, and my final exam is tomorrow. I am not confident that I'm going to do well, and I have a good enough grade where I can get a 0% and still pass the class. Should I skip it? Is there a penalty for not taking your final exam for a class? There's nothing on the syllabus saying that you have to take the final exam, but I'm scared that if I don't, then the professor won't grant me my passing grade. The exam is via lock down browser with camera and that’s why I wanna skip it LOLLL
Basically the title. I am still looking for a place starting August but can’t find any I like.
Hi it seems finding a place in Storrs is hard. I was wondering if I find a place at Willimantic, how reliable are the bus services to Storrs?
Guys they're gonna like put you in first year univ classes. Like UNIV 1800. These classes are entirely unnecessary, irrelevant and just waste time. Its like 50% ice breakers even weeks in and then 50% just telling you about the tutoring centers. If you really value one credit, then sure. But otherwise drop it, I promise you that you will get nothing out of these classes.
Hi I need to take COMMS 2600 and the only one available was one that has “to be announced” listed as the days and times. When will that be available? Or does anyone know what days and times the class usually is, I have Kristine Nowalk. ATP I don’t know if I should even keep this class in case it conflicts.
So today I got an email saying that my final transcript wasn’t received by UConn and that it is due today. I called my school and they said they’d send it again and I called UConn and they basically just told me to talk to my school. I was wondering if there is anything else I should do?
I lived in Hale dorm at UConn from 1996-1998. There was a place to eat after regular dining hall hours that was located in the Putnam Refectory building. I seem to remember they served nachos, quesadillas, etc. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of this place! Anyone remember this?
Hellooo,
It’s my first year as a nursing student and I’m a bit nervous as to my schedule. Does it look okay?
P.S. is anyone in any of the same classes?
Hi everyone. so im enrolled for orientation tomorrow and despite me trying, my TB results are not coming back in time to submit them. I had them done well before the deadline (I had them done on Tuesday of last week) but they aren't showing up in myQuest and after calling the area they have said that they are still processing the order.
I'm almost 100% sure I don't have tuberculosis, I only have to take the test because I was born in India. Will they bar me from enrolling in classes and like...going? because that's wack imo.
Has anyone else gone through this? Please let me know
So I’m obsessed with debate, I’ll be honest, and I’ve noticed, as I’m sure we all have, that discourse in recent years has gotten really toxic.
It’s either a dogpile, throwing insults, being condescending, I don’t need to rehash what I imagine we all already know.
I built an app where people could swipe on topics, get matched with someone who disagrees, and get a score on their civility. The idea was that if you’re always an asshole, your shitty civility score would follow you and no one would want to talk to you.
I added a feature in passing called toxic mode that did not judge your civility. Spew your venom, no holds barred.
That was the idea.
Every time I got an install on the app, every single user immediately jumped into toxic mode. Out of 100+ downloads, not a single person wanted to have a civil discussion. They wanted the messy version. The heated version. The version that felt more like a chaotic internet argument than a polite debate club.
So I stopped fighting it and built a lightweight browser version where you can just pick a topic and jump in:

The goal is still to get people talking to people they disagree with. Maybe the first step is not making everyone perfectly civil. Maybe it is just getting them in the same room.
And if that room has to be a little toxic to get people through the door, so be it.
Would love feedback on the idea and whether this feels like something people would actually try.
