Look at Fairfield or Connecticut College instead

Plus 2. Isn't it connected to the Moonie Church?

OP here: thanks. I hadn’t heard of it but it was on the water and looked picturesque to my dd.

Not a good school. just not. It's bad in general based on the graduation rate and caliber of students there, but it also has a chiropractic college (pseudoscience yikes) and at one point the unification church (moonie cult) tried to buy the university-- bad school and sketchy vibes

I just googled it. It has a 29% graduation rate. I honestly haven’t seen one that low before.

If you haven’t heard of it or know anything about it, why might you want to waste four years and your money on it? Sounds crazy. Sounds like a hard pass.

My father and uncle went there. I don't know anything about it now. To the PP who mentioned Manut Bol. You are correct. I saw him play for UB as a kid. I think I came up to his knee.

University of Bridgeport isn't new. I grew up in the town next door, but don't know anyone who went there.

I grew up in Greenwich Ct and never even heard of it, sorry. Is it new?

Bridgeport is not great. What is appealing about it to your dd? Maybe we can suggest some similar schools.

I am from Fairfield County, CT (where Bridgeport is) No, no, no to Bridgeport. Please look google Bridgeport, CT.

Manute Bol went there, I believe.

I’d never really heard much about this school but my dad has started getting mail. Anyone know anything about it? Good school? Location? Thanks.
