University of Hartford

Now in its sixth decade, the University of Hartford sits proudly on a 350-acre main campus that includes parts of Hartford, West Hartford, and Bloomfield, Conn. It provides  a beautifully landscaped vista with grassy expanses and wooded areas with a branch of the Park River winding through it.

Despite its bucolic setting and relatively small size, UHart offers a dynamic student experience charged with diversity in its programs, activities, and student body. International and U.S. students of color comprise nearly 30 percent of all undergraduates.

The University of Hartford's scenic and suburban 350-acre campus on Bloomfield Avenue is at the juncture of three municipalities, the City of Hartford, and the towns of Bloomfield and West Hartford. Just 1.5 miles southeast, the Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center is a vibrant center for performing arts education and serves as a resource for the entire community.

The Residential Life staff takes pride in serving students as they embrace their new living environment as home. Throughout the residential buildings, students are provided with 100 percent wireless capabilities and a data jack in each room to connect to an Ethernet network. Each room also has a cable and phone jack. There are no additional fees for these services. Each student is provided with a desk, chair, bed frame, mattress, and a closet. Students are encouraged to bring crates and baskets for additional storage
