The University of Hartford

I absolutely hated my first year experience in college. This is definately not the place to be. Aside from dealing with the everyday arrogant jerks that are majorily from Long Island, NJ and CT, I come across a huge amount of rude and undisciplined students. Going to this school, I realized how much I really care about my grades and my schoolwork compared to others who fail out, get caught with drugs and have nothing better to do. It's sad too because I participate in sports, several extra cirriculars and I try really hard; being around arrogance makes me feel like I don't even need to care that much to shine because so many others around me fail to do so. That goes for faculty too; they are never approchable (especially my advisor), and they do not want to help. Once I brought up wanting to transfer, they treated me like dirt. My advisor even told me "when you fail to get into the school you apply for, we'll be waiting for you to come back to us." What kind of comment is that? Also, the surrounding city is AWFUL. There is ONE shuttle that barely takes all of the hundreds of students who yearn to leave the school on weekends to stop at a couple different places, but only once an hour. You feel trapped and the only way to get anywhere, especially Frat parties, is with a friend and their car. It's pathetic. I cannot wait to leave.
