The only people that complain about the social life at this school are the people that sit alone in their dorm rooms waiting for something exciting to knock on their door. Sorry but like any school, if you want to make friends and have a social life, you need to put yourself out there and get to know people. Invest some time in one of the many clubs and activites the school has to offer. Yes there are a lot of great parties, the bars and clubs are fun and easy to get in to. But if that's not your scene there is something for everyone. They have open mic nights, local band performances, karaoke nights, musical theatre, a variety of singing groups and programs,ski and snowboard clubs, and much more. Like at any school, there are snotty rich brats at this school, but there are also some really down to earth wonderful people that are more than willing to get to know you. No you are not going to get 5 star gourmet food, but they have the BEST burgers and pitas I have ever tasted available in the student union. There is also late night taco bell and deli sandwiches and the the market has everything you could ever need. And no the dorms are not equivalent to the rooms in a Hilton hotel, but they are decent sized and they are kept clean by the weekly cleaning service that comes through. Academically, I guess you can say the professors and classes aren't "challenging" because they don't overwhelm you with busy work and crazy assignments. Instead they take the time to explain and make sure you understand the material in a way that you will remember. The classes are engaging and interesting instead overly intellectual and boring. The campus is very safe with public safety officers scattering the campus 24/7, video surveillance, and a 24/7 bus service that will take you around campus. The only negative things I have to say about The University of Hartford are that they need to get rid of Hillyer College because that is what brings in all the idiots that make you wonder how they were ever accepted to college (Hillyer is the community college that is on campus, when you don't get accepted to UHART they can apply to Hillyer which like any community college all it takes to get in is a high school diploma), and also they will lure you in with lots of financial aid for your first year then they will take it away once you love the school. But this school has an excellent academic reputation and as long as they don't take away my financial aid, because the school is VERY expensive, I will be be here for a long time with no regrets.
