encoded: Over the past two semesters, the Editorial Board has strived to make sense of the rapidly changing landscape facing students at the University of Connecticut. We have covered everything from the dangers of artificial intelligence to UConn’s plan for developing its regional campus. Throughout our analysis, there is a common through line that all students should take to heart. Amid the all-consuming and numbing national news, against the backdrop of pressure on higher education, we must ask: How can we make our time and money spent on UConn worth it? At The Daily Campus, we believe that students should be mindful of their actions and the world around them. <img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="696" height="464" data-attachment-id="176244" data-permalink="https://dailycampus.com/2026/05/05/how-do-we-make-our-education-worth-it/wilbur-2/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WILBUR.png?fit=1000%2C667&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1000,667" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="WILBUR" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WILBUR.png?fit=696%2C464&ssl=1" src="https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WILBUR.png?resize=696%2C464&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-176244" style="aspect-ratio:1.499273607748184;width:490px;height:auto" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WILBUR.png?w=1000&ssl=1 1000w, https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WILBUR.png?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WILBUR.png?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WILBUR.png?resize=150%2C100&…

encoded: The 2025-2026 academic year was nothing if not full of news at the University of Connecticut. The year brought construction, funding cuts and protests, but amid the challenges came wins, success stories and new records not to be forgotten. Enrollment, housing and classes Starting the year off right, the university welcomed the record-breaking class of 2029 last fall: roughly 7,500 new Huskies. Of that number, 4,715 were first-year students at Storrs and 1,850 at UConn’s regional campuses. About 960 were transfer students. At the same time, students discovered how the university decided who got housing after The Daily Campus’ freedom of information request revealed that housing demand increased 11.25% — 1,172 applications — from fall 2024 to fall 2025. The Storrs campus housed 13,400 students, another record-breaking number, in fall 2025. <img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="696" height="464" data-attachment-id="176222" data-permalink="https://dailycampus.com/2026/05/05/news-a-year-in-review-2/cthall-2/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CTHALL.png?fit=1000%2C667&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1000,667" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="CTHALL" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CTHALL.png?fit=696%2C464&ssl=1" src="https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CTHALL.png?resize=696%2C464&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-176222" style="aspect-ratio:1.499273607748184;width:570px;height:auto" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CTHALL.png?w=1000&ssl=1 1000w, https://i0.wp.com/dailycampus.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CTHALL.png?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/daily…

Over the last few months, we ate a ton of ice cream, watched another national championship game (boo Michigan) and saw Quavo perform at UCONNIC. Life had the pleasure of covering these events and more. Every Sunday at 6 p.m., we gather at The Daily Campus building in downtown Storrs to pitch and take stories, answer silly icebreakers (like taking a “How Many Camels Am I Worth” quiz) and simply enjoy each other’s company.
