The University of Hartford

Date: Jan 18 2008
Major: Unknown (This Major's Salary over time)
There literally hasn't been one day since starting at UHA that I haven't wanted to transfer. This school is ruining my life. Seriously.

One of the most important aspects of being a freshman in college is of course learning to live with complete strangers. But if you insist on applying to UHA and want to live on campus, I want you to keep this one thing in mind; the Residential Life staff members are not your friends, they don't care about you. You will hate your roommate and/or someone that lives on your floor. A lot. And there's a 99% chance that ResLife will set you up that way on purpose. Complaing to them never works for anyone. Everything on campus breaks. EVERYTHING. And no one cares, ever. Your toilet will get clogged and the heat won't turn on. Your only options are to deal with it or transfer. Oh, and the campus is disgusting, and I'm being nice. Last year I remember the school emptying a septic tank (yes, those things that hold human feces) in the middle of the academic lawn. And it rains, I kid you not, on almost a daily basis. If you don't know how to swim, I strongly recommend that you learn. There's pretty much no outdoor drainage system.

I haven't even started the second semester of my sophomore year, but I have already had 3 separate majors. Hartford will take anything that you're passionate about and ruin your love for it, while taking your $30,000/yr checks. So far the only things that I have learned are how to pack bowls, roll joints, and play beer pong; and I don't smoke marijuana or drink alcohol. If you're looking for a quick way to kill all of your brain cells, please, by all means apply to UHA. You'll have the time of your life. But if you're actually looking to get a decent education, don't apply to the University of Hartford.
