“What drove me to choose UConn was the fact that both student teachers [I learned from in high school] happened to be in the same concentration I wanted to be in, which was music, and they were able to provide me with advice and thoughts on the program.”

“I chose UConn because it provided so many opportunities for me to choose from. I came to UConn not knowing what I wanted to be or what my future looked like. When speaking with ACES advisors, I realized that I could create that future on my own.”

“There is nothing that compares to the UConn pride we have as a family. I applied to just three schools, and I knew regardless of the decisions, that I would find my forever home here at UConn.”

“I chose UConn because of its nationally recognized teacher preparation program and its beautiful campus. I knew that coming here would best prepare me to become an educator with its many supports and resources offered to students.”

“I chose UConn for my graduate studies because of its reputation for being a Tier 1 research university but also for the greater community itself. UConn is known to provide a challenging and enriching education, with many diverse ways to apply learning through clinical and research opportunities, and graduate assistantships.”
