Shippee UConn Reviews

Lived in a B room and it was a fine size with good lighting. The ambience and environment of shippee was a lot of fun and I made a lot of my long lasting friends here.

Shippee's atmosphere was the best part of my college experience!! Met all my friends here and had so many memories.
