nope. You'll like the neighborhood around UConn Law and you're closer to West Hartford (great town) than Hartfordaidez-moi wrote:By the way, is Hartford as bad a city as I keep hearing?
The roughest part of Hartford is the north side (colored red, mauve, and light pink in my avatar). That's where the majority of the violent crime takes place, especially homicides and violent sexual offenses, and Hartford's crime statistics are greatly raised by the activity in only a few neighborhoods. You'll probably never have any reason to go there, and probably won't even end up there by accident because I-84 separates it from the rest of the city. There are plenty of other "sketchy" areas around, but they're not really any more dangerous than any other city. Property crime is really the only thing to worry about- your bike might get stolen, or car window broken- but these things happen everywhere in the world.aidez-moi wrote:By the way, is Hartford as bad a city as I keep hearing?
I should have mentioned that the area surrounding Trinity (a neighborhood called Barry Square) is also not wonderful, especially lately, although it feels much safer there than in the North. It seems like the last several stabbings have all happened in Barry and Behind the Rocks, although the Trinity campus itself is fantastic. Again, attending UConn Law you would have no reason to go to any of these neighborhoods, or really any other questionable Hartford areas.snapdragon wrote:Hartford is not that bad. I lived in the crappy part for 4 years during undergrad. UConn Law is closer to West Hartford, which is actually really nice, and all the surrounding towns are as well. Also, there's some great (or there were a few years ago) restaurants in Hartford proper. Like Heartford said, there's no reason that you'd be in the crappier areas, and the city itself is rather small. If I go to UConn, I plan on living in West Hartford (unless bf and I decide to settle in between school and work).

That makes me nervous. I'm the same, maybe that's why it's taking so long to hear back.rockyIV wrote:waitlisted and above lsat 75th and median GPA. Withdrawing.
They will literally walk you through the process. There will be meetings about it, and the administration will work with you to ensure that it works out. As long as you actually live in CT for 12 months, you're pretty much all set.voltage88 wrote:So I've done some research about gaining in-state residency after one year. It seems like you have to provide a copy of car registration, insurance, etc etc. What if the car you're bringing isn't yours? Does anyone have any experience with how hard/easy it is to get in-state tuition after a year at UConn???
Me too!WB333 wrote:I'm hoping for good news today!

In light of the economic outlook for grads, I refuse to give up my day job for anything other than H/Y, and they're a longshot.aidez-moi wrote:Why would you be waiting on UCONN with those numbers??ElvisAaron wrote:Man I hope we hear something soon!

That makes perfect sense. The reason it's taking so long is probably because you are so damn overqualified for the part-time program!

UConn has the highest ranked PT program in my area.
