Thoughts post investigation:

Before investigating on The University of Connecticut it was one of my top 10 Colleges but after investigating I was not that interested in this college because it is not that diverse and that is one of the top things I look for in a college. Besides the low diversity facts uConn offers a lot of majors and organizations.
