    Actually UConn is #18 in public schools (US news), it's one of my kid's top choices too. CT folks should consider yourselves lucky, I live in NY and our public school system is crap both academically and athletically!
    By next year you'll be paying $54,000 at UCONN as an out of state resident and not a good value for what you get. For a bit more she can attend a high quality private, especially if she can get good merit money which most privates offer to keep quasi on price with state schools. NY residents will be able to attend many colleges for free (with some qualifications), a bold program being phased in over the next three years. I guarantee you with CT's budget woes tuition will only keep climbing at a rapid clip. If she's interested in grad school, free NY may be a better route.

    btw you can find a statistic to satisfy any point of view. I can post many others that show UCONN much lower.

        Sending your kid to Oneota State, Cortland State or Geneseo is the way to go.

              UConn is on par with New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, UMass, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Montana and New Mexico then and that says all you need to know about their future in D1 athletics

                UConn only hope is the Big 12 expands and takes then in or they beg the Big East. AAC is a hoodwinked league for UConn athletics. Nobody’s cares about any teams they are playing.

                  NY'er here and of the 3, Geneseo is the only decent one you mentioned. Cortland and Oneonta are awful, both academically and athletically.

                      If money is an issue there's nothing wrong with knocking off some core courses for much lower in NY - even free if you qualify for the new NY program - then finishing at a great school. All that matters is where that final piece of paper came from, not where you started.

                        Other than UCONN women's basketball, when was the last time UCONN was discussed much in college athletics? Answer: not much in the last several years. Neither were the other schools listed.

                          UCONN field hockey won national championship 2014 and 2017. Won five national championships
                          Men's Basketball won three years ago which qualifies as several. Only school to win men's and women's in same year. Did it twice

                              Field hockey? lmao you just proved the poster's point. Men's basketball is lacking because of the conference. Everyone just expects the women to keep rolling in with trophies and almost pays them almost no attention (also, it's women's basketball so no one pays attention any way). Football? Never.

                                Dill weed ... nothing like coming into a debate mid stream. Thanks for your contributions

                                the posters point was that UCONN was one of the worst public universities in athletics. Or that it's on par with South Dakota, UNH or Maine.

                                That's clearly not the case.

                                UCONN isn't power five but it's not University of Alaska either. It's in the middling AAC, nothing more nothing less
