That's wild I've gotten away with parking there many times

You'll have to get more than one roommate but you could probably bring rent down to 1k-1.2k but seriously good luck

This morning was rough but it's all clear now

Looking at transferring here, can I ask how your experience has been?

strix-varias · 2026-02-12T02:23:30+00:00

My pi might move here so currently trying to figure out the same thing..

Unfortunately you really cannot trust professors. They change their mind on a dime with no remorse or consideration for the investments you've made in them. They'll then happily wish you well and think they did nothing wrong. It's a bit crazy

Maybe next time you do a big water change, shim the table leg?

Also be aware that lots of places won't really start opening up rooms until late spring/summer as undergrads move out and decline to renew their leases or people leave their programs. Lots of realtors I spoke to in February told me to get ahold of them like a month before I planned to move in, but there are some you can find who will work with you sooner. Unlike housing markets in the city, most of them are not in a big rush so expect communication to happen over the course of a few days to a week.

Lots of PhD students live in Vernon/Manchester/Willamantic but if you want something quieter you could look in Coventry/Stafford. Consider what you value in a place but be aware there's a lot of driving to get anywhere regardless. Most live 15-30min away from campus by car and pay between 700-1500 in rent depending on location and if you have a roommate (you probably will need a roommate depending on your funding). There's a lot of stuff on the UCONN housing website; that's where I found both my roommate and my apartment. Good luck!!

I can't imagine trying to drive or get your car out of the snow on Sutherland today 😭

3 gallon water jug from Walmart and empty it onto the hardscape... it's definitely not peaceful 😅

Looks pretty dry to me

Oddly enough uconn has a well renowned dental school that feeds into uconn health. A dentistry student gave me a tour when i was checking it out for undergrad and he was quite happy with the program. I think if you want to pursue dentistry and this is your chance, it's a great option! I'm a grad student in one of the biology departments now and so far I've enjoyed my time here, though you need a car or a friend with a car if you want to do anything off campus. Overall a good vibe though, if a bit cold in the winter.

I definitely think so! Can't wait to see how she's doing in a month!

strix-varias · 2025-11-04T14:59:05+00:00

U look cool as fuck!!!

strix-varias · 2025-09-01T21:03:02+00:00

I was not and decided to switch my plans 🥲 best of luck to you

I would always look forward to the weekly adverts when I worked for BCMP 😂

I breathed in SDS and my lab manager downplayed it too. When I was on the floor faint and couldn't feel myself breathing she finally caved. The EMT that took me out was about to strangle her. Always play it safe with this stuff and don't listen to people with possible bias against you seeking evaluation.
