Message: [QUOTE="NYUConn, post: 1823707, member: 6274"] Opinions on the state government aside, the benefits of having a campus in an urban setting like Stamford as opposed to Storrs means you don't need as much land. Buildings are bigger and can house more programs and lecture halls. Can also reduce the number of dorms in an urban campus as more students will be able to find affordable apartments as the total number of housing is more readily available than in Storrs-Mansfield. It wouldn't be an easy undertaking by any means and there would be a ton of time needed to get it done, but if you are looking for a way to stimulate UConn and the entire state's economic growth in the future, that's where the solution is. Total pipe dream on my end, but hey, I think it would be great for the school and the state in the longterm. [/QUOTE]
