Are there many UConn students living in Coventry Lake? This would have been a great setup. A Friend with a boat would have been amazing

Yeah there's a decent amount.

there is a big problem between verbal communication with the school and the fraternities. Cops are constantly shutting parties down and even recently has been trying to keen in on tailgates. Fraternities spend more time trying to make sure they dont get busted then they do actually enjoying themselves. I can't imagine there cant be a smart resolution. The cops obviously are worried about people walking drunk home after the firetruck incident, so more parties are off of hunting lodge road than ever before, celeron is dead. IMO Uconn should run a bus route on weekend nights through hunting lodge road, problem solved. Sorry for the rant

Fraternities? I can't imagine there were many schools where Fraternities were more of a nothing than they were at UConn in the mid 80's.

Once I got to KU for law school that was very different, but it didn't affect us law students much. Except the view I had of Pi Beta Phi. :)

You realize it freezes right? For much of the school year?

Litchfield (80-81)
Frats Goodyear B (82)
Belden (83)

We had heard that Litchfield had both the highest dorm damages bill and the lowest grade average on campus my freshman year, but probably just an urban myth. Dorm damage was a huge problem though, considering the combination of free keg delivery and idiot 18-19 year olds living in the Jungle back then.

The red house on Storrs Rd across from the Baptist Church is arguably one of the best houses near campus. Idk if it's still a rental but you can fit a few hundred people in that house no problem.

I know when I left a sorority had that house, want to say it was Delta Gamma. Awesome spot and definitely worth renting if it is available.
 
West (Shakespeare/Troy) from 98-00
Carriage House 01-02

Looks like I'm the only Westie here thus far. Loved that place the first two years. Then the complete blur of madness that was Carriage House. I should have moved to South (it was brand new then) instead.

It has definitely made the rounds. It was the business frats main house for a while, then sig chi, then unaffiliated, then it was TKE. That's the last I knew.

09-10 Busby; 237 or 247, somewhere around there.
10-11 Charter Oak; Hough, 101

I had some friends that lived in a nice-ish house down Moulton Road

Was it new construction? Marble countertops, big chandelier, fire pit in the backyard? I went to a few of those parties.

Nah definitely none of those things lol

They did have parties. I think they called it “Trap House” or something.

Oh well lol. Was it down the bottom of the hill? White or yellow house, screened in porch, had bands a lot? Kind of an alt crowd?
 
I walk by campus today - and I went to UCONN in the late 1970s - there’s not much change. Don’t get taking away the Jungle moniker. But most look the same; with the exception being a bold different South & Charter Oak & others. Same alumni - McMahon - East - Towers etc. Oak at Storrs Center? Every big school has that now.

The academic core is amazingly upgraded. All components. And in 1979, it still looked like 1955.

Did they redevelopment? Yes. Landscape? Yes. Fix that big issue with Babbidge Library? Yes. Good food? Kinda. Kegs in your room? Huh? And then lugging it to soccer games? Nope. ROTC dances? Pub on campus?

Ok. Somehow you must be having fun.
