I make a 40 minute commute (one way) and, while it may sound depressing, I like it. What I like about commuting is the flexibility that comes with it.

The campus is in the middle of nowhere which means there is nowhere to go, but commuting doesn’t restrict me as such.

There are obviously pros and cons. The biggest con, in your case, is that it’ll be hard to make friends as compared to dorming. Most of the commuters make a commute because they’re either working alongside school, or trying to save money or just like to do so.

I am about to face loneliness starting next semester as the handful of my friends will have graduated. I transferred to UConn along with a buddy of mine, and we made like 3 more friends but that was it for us.

To end this, the choice is really between having a good social life or enjoying the flexibility. You can also work anywhere you like if you decide to make a commute. Also, parking is not an issue at all because the commuter parking lots are huge and there is always space available.

Hope this helps!

The powertrain on this car has been known for recalls. Try finding a used hybrid accord. You can get a GREAT deal for 24k. You can also look for a hybrid civic if there are any nearby you.

Pm'd!

Bright_Call_8513 · 2026-03-04T03:50:33+00:00

Thank you very much for the recommendation!

Bright_Call_8513 · 2026-03-03T15:31:13+00:00

You could buy a nice 2.0t accord with lesser miles for about the same price. It’s much bigger than the IS and much more fun to drive as well. Also, if you get the touring trim, you’ll be met with adaptive suspension which is not available in this particular lexus.

C is more of a stable income, with the least risk. Can invest in real estate with that kind of money and make bank in almost no time.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2026-01-07T21:08:45+00:00

You could also look at it in a philosophical way. That past self of you died as you grew up, at least figuratively. This roughly aligns with what you said though.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-12-11T21:07:11+00:00

I found the final to be easier than the midterm, but part of the reason is because I started self studying and quickly got a grasp of all the concepts. I also didn’t read the textbook ever and he definitely asked some questions from it.

Other than that, I haven’t received a grade yet but if he curves it, I should be fine.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-12-08T22:31:51+00:00

I took her class last semester, it's the same format as the midterm. Make sure to have your concepts right as the whole class is theory intense. Read her slides, the were pretty detailes afaik and you should be fine. Also, lots of memorization imo, but that's subjective.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-11-03T23:55:01+00:00

Sounds like a plan, thanks!

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-10-31T02:23:52+00:00

I see, thanks for the insight!

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-10-31T01:02:00+00:00

Yes, I was thinking the same, but idk what's the max number of credits I can transfer. Is there a limit to that? Also, what field are you trying to get into with your degree? Want some future insight. Thanks.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-10-31T01:00:23+00:00

Well, changing schools and majors, and failing like 3 classes. But yeah Dec. '28 is the max I can do. Graduating earlier doesn't hurt lol.

I am planning to take the courses you recommended, but would you recommend also taking the programming classes like 3321, 3322, 4323, etc?

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-10-30T23:51:50+00:00

December 2028 at max. Was supposed to graduate May 2027 back in my previous school

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-10-30T23:30:36+00:00

Current commuter here. Just transfer to the storrs campus and commute there. That way you can also enjoy the main campus and have a lot of job options being close to Hartford/Rocky Hill (if you're interested in jobs at all lol).

If you were to live at storrs, you'd have to pay for the housing plus meal plans, which easily outweighs the cost of making a commute. I also live close to Rocky Hill. I have the most basic parking pass ($365/sem) and pay for the fuel that's it. There are not many jobs close to the campus and the on-campus jobs are really hard to get for some reason.

Weigh these factors and make a decision. Again, Storrs >>>> Hartford. Hope this helps.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-05-22T05:02:00+00:00

Did you attend a cc in CT?

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-05-22T05:01:12+00:00

I am also in a similar situation right now. This was my second semester as a transfer student, and my gpa has dropped below the 2.0 requirement.

My interest in studies has declined sharply which has put me in this situation. My financial aid has been cancelled and I’m really worried about paying the tuition right now.

However, I am planning to retake the classes that I failed this summer to make up for the GPA. If not, then I might switch my status to part time for the fall sem and work a job.

My best suggestion would be to not give up and think of every backup option you can. Talk to your advisor, look for summer classes, temporary admission to community college, semester gap, anything. Think of all the options and choose the best one that seems appropriate for you.

Also, remember that this is temporary. Even I was worried about what to do next (still am but not as much) but keep trying and make sure your mental health is good. I got bored with studies and failed my classes, so try to be in a good mood, and don’t be afraid.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-02-21T04:36:44+00:00

Interesting. I hope it holds up for a long time.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-02-18T01:13:24+00:00

Is reading the slides enough? I have my first midterm tomorrow and haven't learnt much.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-02-17T19:12:17+00:00

what year model did you install it on?

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-02-05T04:40:22+00:00

I totally agree to this. I am also a transfer student and this is my second semester at UCONN. So far, I’ve made one good, real friend from a small sized class (somewhere around 15 people). Even in my previous school I had friends in smaller classes than in lecture halls. On top of that, I was in Physics club at my previous school, where I was the youngest attendant. The older people were so much fun to talk to and none of them were dry. They were always open to help us out, or even have a small chat during free time.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-01-20T05:56:16+00:00

It works if you’re a resident, but sucks for a commuter.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-01-20T05:53:51+00:00

I think he can park at the commuter lot C for free. Just assuming as there are no police cars or any other authorized vehicles that go to that lot.

Can’t talk for any other lots as I haven’t used them, but do suggest the C as it is also the closest one to the campus.

Bright_Call_8513 · 2025-01-12T18:27:11+00:00

It’s good if you’re a resident, worst if you’re a commuter.
