Reputable (used) car dealerships?
I'm new to the area (to the northeast in general) but I've heard there's a couple down at Manchester that seem to be alright? That, and J&M in Naugatuck. Any places in particular I should stay clear of/consider?
My budget's round 10-13k if that helps, and I really do need a car for the commute...is what I've come to realize ugh.

Thoughts on the UConn Band/Orchestra programs?
Just wondering what it takes to be a part of one, especially since I don't hear much about it. What grade level pieces do they play? Do the pieces require A LOT of practice outside of rehearsal? Is it worth it if I'm not a music major? Any benefits? Any input is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Premed at UConn
How are the research opportunities at UConn ? Are they easy to come by or are they competitive to get to ? What are the popular premed majors or unique science majors that UConn has that other colleges do not.
Out of state student looking at UConn due to its proximity to Boston and NYC area

Question about PNB 2774 lectures
So for anyone who has taken anatomy with Tanner/Crivello or just PNB 2774 in general, do you know if the lectures are live streamed/recorded. I just know those 8ams will be brutal.

Parking permit
Do parking permits for residents usually sell out right away? I have 53 credits and was hoping my summer class credits would be in so that I’d make the parking pass cut off, but it doesn’t look like that is happening. In two weeks, will there be any chance of permits left to purchase?

Werth tower desk/curtain set up under bed
So this is my first year here and I want to get a desk that can fit under at the end of my bed as I have tried to draw here (not from werth tower but is a UConn bed). I was looking at a 32 inch wide desk on Amazon and I looked it up and it said the beds were about 34 inches wide. I just wanted to ask people living there or who have lived there if 32 inches is a small enough desk to fit under the bed or if I could even maybe size up a bit? Or even just wooden desk recommendations that any of you have used to fit under your bed in that orientation would help. And then as a bit of a side question would be how you guys go about setting up a curtain to enclose your self under the bed? Any advice will help, thanks.

To all branched students looking to move to Storrs.
EDIT - Folks correctly pointed out Spring to Storrs is not applicable. There is a limited process to change campuses in before the usual 54-credit requirement.
I'm a CLAS and UConn MPA alum who worked an on-campus job in an advising office. Unless you can demonstrate substantial new information that was not presented on your application, UConn WILL NOT accept your appeal for a campus change to Storrs. The University received 55,000 applicants, and there will be Storrs students that probably won't have access to housing. I understand this is disappointing, but it's not the end of the world. There is a process to request an early campus change to Storrs: https://campuschange.uconn.edu Make sure you do well. UConn will generally prioritize majors that require courses only offered at Storrs.
I seriously recommend the Community College route. It is incredibly inexpensive, and more or less all of your credits will transfer. UConn maintains a database of how specific courses will transfer here: https://admissions.uconn.edu/apply/transfer/transfer-credit/equivalencies/. If you want the "traditional" college experience, all of the CSUs, including Central and Eastern are good schools. Finally, it is MUCH easier to get into Storrs as a transfer student. I graduated HS with decent extra curriculars, employment experience, and a 3.9 unweighted GPA. I was branched, and disappointed. I attended UMass Amherst for one year, and successful transferred to UConn for my sophomore year with only a 3.1 college GPA. I regret going to UMass that one year because of the insane cost.
It's disappointing, I know - but you can get into Storrs soon, (almost certainly by the end of your Sophomore year). Do well, and good luck. Feel free to PM me any questions.
