The comment in the article that WCSU is a school without an identity is pretty spot on. I graduated from WCSU and in my opinion, it's a school people went to for three reasons: the nursing program, the art program, or because it was local and cheap.

In my experience, I didn't want to commute every morning to the UConn campus in Waterbury or Stamford, and didn't want to drown in student loans from living at Storrs. Looking back I kind of regret not attending a different school because maybe my social college life would have been completely different and more memorable, but I guess what ultimately matters in the end is the diploma.
