    The first year at any college, you will have to take classes outside of your major. Hartford has All University Curriculum classes (normally referred to as Gen-Eds). The classes fall under the categories of Arts, Culture, Technology and Science. Most students get to take classes in their major/department their first year (espescially students in the art and music school). The majority of the professors really care about their students (giving out private email addresses and even phone numbers, in case you are having problems). read full review

    There are not any events set up by the school or any groups / clubs of the school on the weekends. There is really nothing to do if you're not a big drinker and you don't have a car to get off campus. There are buses that will take you off campus on the weekends, but the last bus runs at about 7 p.m. You can take a taxi, but they're very overpriced and get expensive after awhile especially after a night of shopping at the mall.

    A good deal of the student body comes from much more privileged families than I did and they came off as insolent. There are a few in particular that I can remember such as the guy who threw his $400 Blackberry on the floor and remarked that the next day he would have a brand new iPhone that his father would buy him and sure enough he did. And when he dropped that one, he had a brand new one the next day. It's as if they have a constant money supply coming to them and they have a total lack of respect towards the hard work it actually takes to make money.

    I also had an awful roommate, which I am sure had a significant part in my dissatisfaction of the school. I was able to stick it out most of the year and spend a good deal of time outside of my room away from her, but she was very sick and refused to go to Health Services. Because she was spreading germs all over our room, I got mono and needed to be hospitalized. I had to stay home for a month and a half and within that month and a half, I found out just how much I disliked UHa.

    It took many games of phone tag to find the appropriate person to notify of my medical leave. When I finally found out who to call, it took me 6 calls to even get the Dean of Students on the phone. I left many messages and she, rather conveniently, could not find the time to call me back until after the last day you could get any money back after dropping a class. Also, when she said everything was taken care of, it was most certainly not. I began getting e-mails from my professors saying that they had never received proper notification of my leave and if they did not get it soon, they would have to mark me absent and i would fail the class. Some teachers would not give me the work I missed until they received the notification and I wound up having to drop an additional class as a result. After another 10 calls I finally got her to notify my professors and drop the other class. Now keep in mind that I was sleeping about 18 hours a day throughout all this. The other 6 hours I had to spend on the phone with the Dean of Students Office. It was completely ridiculous and I can't say that the people I talked to were anything but rude.

    When I finally got back to school, my roommate began staying up until 4 a.m. every night and keeping me up as well. I contacted my RD and asked to have my room changed immediately. I slept in the common room and on my friend's floor for 3 weeks before anyone in Residential Life did anything about it.

    In addition to the Dean of Students being rude on the phone, anyone you speak to about financial aid or loans is also incredibly rude on the phone. In fact there are probably only 10 staff members that I spoke to that I did not find to be rude. read full review
