Plus, I wanted to see what it would be like to go to a big school that also wasn&#8217;t in the city. I appreciate the nature and wildlife I get to see out here; it can be very scenic and relaxing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What activities were you involved with as a student?<\/strong><br \/>\nI was involved in a lot of student organizations as a student. I was involved in the UConn Japanese Student Association, Korean Student Association, UConn Gaming Club, and KConn\/Seoular (a dancing club!). I have volunteered during blood drives with the UConn Pre-Medical Society, helped move students in through Husky Haulers, and volunteered to clean up a state park through UConn Community Outreach. I have also helped with fundraisers with donation matches for BLM and Asian Americans for Equality through JSA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has UConn prepared you for the next chapter in life?<\/strong><br \/>\nUConn has prepared me for my next chapter in life by giving me useful experience for operating in the professional world. I can better communicate and work with others because I have been exposed to different people with different backgrounds thanks to the diverse student population and beneficial instructors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s one thing that surprised you about UConn?<\/strong><br \/>\nDespite being a big school, I&#8217;d always see the same 10 people around campus. I love how &#8220;small&#8221; UConn actually feels, because everyone is so friendly and welcoming that the nerves of being at a big campus immediately go away after the first couple of days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s one thing every student should do during their time at UConn?<\/strong><br \/>\nGo to all of the dining halls! I think they each have their own charm, so it&#8217;s definitely worth trying them at least once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s one thing that will always make you think of UConn?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy friends. I met many wonderful people during my time here, and I appreciate every one of them. (And also huskies. I will always think of UConn if I see a husky).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isabelle Resil reflects on her time at UConn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":171577,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"quote","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[117],"class_list":["post-171576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-quote","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","post_format-post-format-quote"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-16 01:41:33","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171576"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":171582,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171576\/revisions\/171582"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/171577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171576"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=171576"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=171576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
