Image
This incoming class of students at UConn's main campus is slightly smaller than last year's — 3,650 compared to 3,800 — but contains a record number of high school valedictorians and salutatorians and a higher percentage of students in the top 10 percent of their class. The class has a slightly lower percentage of minority students — down about one percentage point to 35.1 percent compared to last year's 36.3 percent — and more international students, up from 373 students to 510. "We're proud to welcome such an extraordinary group of students to our campuses," President Susan Herbst said.

UConn Move-In Weekend: Forget the GPS, Watch the Signs

STORRS, CT — Massive construction projects on the main University of Connecticut campus mean students returning to campus this week will be facing a move-in weekend like never before. Some students who arranged early move -in are already on campus, but the bulk of the 12,400 who live in Storrs residence halls will be descending on the campus beginning at 7 a.m. Friday. Freshmen are up first Friday, followed by upperclassmen and transfer students over the weekend. The biggest piece of advice for far from administrators for Friday has been to go old school while driving to the new school. That means plugging the dorm addresses into GPS units is essentially useless because of North Campus closures and traffic restrictions along North Eagleville Road from Route 195 and its side streets . Movers should also note that all traffic is one-way on Alumni Drive between Hillside Road and Hilltop Apartments this week. "The best thing to do is to watch the signs as you start to approach the ...

Real estate investing in older adults: What’s best?

NEW YORK – Aug. 22, 2017 – With all the talk about aging baby boomers and life- extending health care advances , it might be a bit bewildering deciding which seniors housing assets are best primed for success. Lee Everett, managing consultant at research firm CoStar Portfolio Strategy , might be able to provide some clarity. Two product types – active adult communities and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs – will be the winners in the seniors housing race both in the short and the long term, Everett says. Everett and his CoStar colleagues are bullish about active adult communities , which are age-restricted developments that offer an independent lifestyle and relatively maintenance-free housing. Growth in this segment is "just around the corner," with more baby boomers getting older and seeking alternatives to traditional homes and apartments. "We're looking at a period where there's going to be a lot of fast and explosive growth in active a...

It’s Wednesday afternoon and some pro soccer players are sitting around a small kitchen table , immersed in an intense card game similar to poker. San Francisco Deltas team captain Nana Attakora shuffles his cards with his thumbs, patiently waiting for his teammates to make a move. Bryan Burke throws down his hand and says he’s out of the game, followed quickly by Danny Cruz, as a song from Kanye West’s “Life of Pablo” album blares in the background. Attakora stares down Kyle Bekker, who’s taking his sweet time, but like his teammates before him, Bekker folds as well. This is jus...
