Being from Hawaii, I tell my friends that I'm going to school all the way on the east coast in Connecticut. It's a long way from home but I love it. Also having New York City and Boston roughly about two hours away opens up plenty opportunities for fun and activities.

The professors and quality of education is excellent. All the staff are very helpful and care about the students and their needs. When I started last year, they made me feel at home immediately. I knew I was in the right university!

I tell them about my sorority. Greek life on campus is amazing. The people I have met who were already involved in Greek Life, are some of the greatest people I have ever met.
Caroline
I brag to my friends about how University of Hartford is a great school, and how good the Architecture program also is.
Miranda
The crazy and exciting things I get to do in my acting classes. They are all incredibly helpful for my future career but it's funny to watch them get jealous over me doing t'ai chi while they have to write a paper.

Well, I definitely do not brag about the academics or the residential buildings, but the social aspect, for sure! There are so many different types of people, that you are sure to find your place. There is always something to do. Also, I joined greek life, which is great! IBeing a part of a sorority has allowed me to meet so many more people, provided me with volunteer and leadership opportunities, and I've grown as a person. Joining has been the best choice I've made at the university.

I tell my friends how huge the campus is and how cool the people here are.
Jessica
The parties on campus definitley tend to get a little rowdy and out of control; Always a good time. The way the campus is set up is also really accomodating: Residential Dorms on one side, and the academic buildings on the other side. It's also nice that most of the dorms are grade-based or housing assignments go by your GPA.

I had a very different experience than the average UHa student because the Hartt Theater Program is more conservatory-style. I had a great time and an active social life while maintaining a heavy courseload and a lot of hours in rehearsal. The program is rigidly structured, which is helpful while in school, but very tough to make the transition after. For someone who needs structure and challenge as an actor, this is a goood place to be. As for other programs, I don't really know.
Nina
I brag that I have been allowed to follow my passion of architecture/histroic preservation, and study independently. I have been fully supported from my professors.
