Storrs Connecticut (06268/06269) Part of the town of Mansfield, Connecticut, the Storrs community is home to the main campus of the University of Connecticut. The summers & school vacation weeks are quiet and reminiscent of the slow days of yore, while the rest of the year is filled with the hustle and bustle of a thriving university - full of student activities, local athletic events and fine arts performances. The recent development of a new downtown area features a town square with cafés and restaurants, shopping, as well as commercial and residential space. Storrs is conveniently located within driving distance of New England hotspots, approximately 30 minutes from Hartford, 75 minutes from Boston, a couple of hours to the region’s favorite ski resort areas, and just 3 hours from New York City.
