Travel

 

Traveling to and from UConn can be fairly easy with the right amount of planning. You can choose between driving, flying, or taking a bus/train.

For participants coming from the New England area driving is one of the best options. The University of Connecticut Storrs campus is easily accessible from highway I-84 and Routes 6, 44 and 32, which are well-connected with the rest of the area. As an additional benefit, you will enjoy the beauty of New England's Fall colors! For driving directions and maps see the following link:

If you intend to arrive by plane, the closest airport is Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, only 50 minutes away from campus. Other major airports include Logan International Airport in Boston, MA (1 hour and 45 minutes), JFK International Airport, NYC (around 4 hours), Tweed Airport in New Haven, CT, and T.F. Green in Providence, RI (1 hour). CT Transit provides shuttles from Bradley International to Hartford, CT. Bonanza Bus Lines also provide service from Hartford, CT to the UConn Storrs campus. Other shuttles are available through CT Limo from JFK and La Guardia airports.
