Student Life

UHart isn’t all fun and games, but honestly, some of it is. Just because a UHart education is rigorous doesn’t mean we don’t know how to relax.

We aren't the same and we were never meant to be.

Surrounded by green spaces and wooded trails, our 350-acre campus is situated at the crossroads of three towns: Hartford, West Hartford, and Bloomfield. In addition to our proximity to the capital city, the University of Hartford is only two hours from Boston and New York City.
