I visited UConn and would not at all say it is bad. They have a well respected program and pretty good facilities. Also, you can't beat in-state tuition, though it is more expensive than in-state tuition at lots of other schools. In general, I found only a few problems with the school:
1. the class size is extremely small (~80). I didn't like this b/c that small just screams social dramma to me and also leads to . . .
2. lack of research opportunities. There is research going on at UConn, but it seemed maybe harder to get at than at other schools. This is nothing official, and nobody told me this, but it was just a feeling that I got when I was there. This could also be related to the heavy primary care focus (although that's pretty much typical for state schools).
and 3. The LOCATION. Farmington is not the most exciting place to spend 4 years of your 20's. It is also relatively expensive to live there, and absolutely necessary to have a car to commute back and forth to school. UConn is also not the major hospital in CT. It doesn't get the major city traffic (they go to Hartford Hospital/St. Francis) or the major referral cases (those go to Yale) not that you won't see plenty of cool stuff at UCHC. Good things are that you can roate in many of the CT hospitals.
For me location was probably the biggest factor, I just really wanted not to have to go back to CT, and especially not farmington. The small class size also will lock you closer into the northeast, since residency programs farther away might not have experience with uconn students. I also didn't like the discipline based curriculum or the fact that they kept you in lecture as much as any other school that I interviewed at (but those are subjective things).
In the end, if I didn't have a potentially comparable costing option in UNC, I would almost definitely be at UConn next year. It's well respected in the northeast and you really can't beat the tuition!
