Mercedes - 11/17/2023

I love the small classes as it helps me focus and learn quicker. Unfortunately it’s so expensive as a student of a single mom, that i find myself stressing about my bill all semester. If you miss a payment they shut down blackboard and won’t let you submit assignments. If you miss a payment in Dec they send you a letter to move out. We always end up paying it off, but it takes my mom a little more time. My grades would be much better if this stress wasn’t hanging over my head every day…

school is great

samyhia - 05/19/2020

I think that the University of Hartford comes with many opportunities to try new things and allows you to see what it feels like to live without your family. It also allows you to partake in new activities and make new friends . You get to see what it is like to be in a class with over 100 kids or so and take tours and play sports and join clubs. So, i guess you can say that you will look forward to going to a college like this.
