UConn Avery Point

I will never forget the time I went for the first time. I will return in the summer of 2026 with my own children so they can also get to experience this wonderful place.

Beautiful campus! Oceanside walking path and meeting room space has beautiful views of the sound. The Branford House is some awe-inspiring architecture.

Always a pleasure to walk around on the grounds. The view of the Sound is also great. A peaceful place to visit.

Sea, land and beautiful nature, art and history located in dreamy location. Proud to be UCONN Mom.

According to Michael Alfultis, Ph.D., Campus Director: " Surrounded by water on three sides, Avery Point is the University of Connecticut's campus by the sea, providing our students an environment that is both picturesque and practical. This waterfront campus, located on Long Island Sound at the mouth of the Thames River, combines the elegance of the past - in the mansion and buildings associated with the estate of Morton Plant - with state-of-the-art marine science facilities. Students enjoy the use of high-tech classrooms, computer labs, a UCONN Co-Op bookstore, a branch of the UCONN Library system, the Academic Center, the Student Union, a gymnasium with a pool, café with food service options, ample and varied study lounges and spaces, and plenty of easy parking."
