My Favorite Questions from Prospective Students:
The most commonly asked questions tend to center around the 'fit' of the University for each student.
Will I enjoy living on campus?
Will I have things to do outside of the classroom?
Are the class sizes appropriate for my learning style?
The answer to all these questions, in terms of a prospective student, is to come and visit us!! The best indicator of the 'fit' of a school in terms of you is to spend some time on the campus and see for yourself. At the University of Hartford, a prospective student may attend a Preview Day, come to campus for a tour and/or register for an Overnight, with the Overnight Program. Take some time and see yourself at the University of Hartford!

My Favorite Qualities of the University of Hartford:
My favorite quality of the University of Hartford is flexibility; from academics to housing and more. The University of Hartford offers 7 colleges within one University...something for everyone. As well, within the Residential Life program, students have many options to choose from regarding housing and the choices continue into the areas of extra-curriculars with over 60 clubs and organizations to join!!!

Bio:
I have been with the University of Hartford for 20+
years. In that time it has grown from a
small regional University to a mid-sized comprehensive
University that welcomes students from over 65 countries.
When I'm away from the office I enjoy all types of
outdoor activities (hiking, biking, water sports). When
I am inside I love to read, cook, and listen to music of all
types. I am married with two daughters (Greer and Piper).
