Message: [QUOTE="Nāraṅga, post: 3301365, member: 7408"] Technically, U Conn is in Storrs but it is rural and didn't really have a city center. Mansfield is the closest real town but it is a crappy kind of town. I had to visit UConn but the one hotel in Storrs (university affiliated) was booked. I stayed in the best, closest accommodations in Mansfield... a retrofitted Best Western. It's ..fine. That's why the football stadium is out of town. To get fans up the little 2 lane would be a pain. What's a college without a real town to do? Well, create your own town. Downtown Storrs is completely manufactured. It has apartments, stores, and food chains that were all build within 5 years. Everything is built for and geared toward the university. It is weird and contrived but it kind of works. [URL="https://www.downtownstorrs.org"]DOWNTOWN STORRS[/URL] [/QUOTE]
