Freshman: I like the vast spectrum of extracurricular activities such as clubs and sports. There's a lot of fun things to do. I myself am in a few organizations, and I've enjoyed my stay here so far! I also like the medical programs they have to prepare you if you're a pre-med student. There are a lot of majors that tailor towards medicine, and they have a lot of resources you can go to. I will say the only real problems I've had are with dorming. It gets really hot in the summer, and you're not allowed to bring an air conditioner unless you have a medical condition which can be troublesome. I've also had a few problems with the cleanliness, but that may just be the specific building I live in. Overall it's a good college, although it has its cons.... Read 3,518 reviews

Alum: I was an undergrad at Central as computer science major, got my BS in 2019. I had a great experience, both academically and socially. I had an internship right after graduation, but pandemic hit and did not get full-time. I got another job elsewhere as web programmer, working remote. I wanted to get a grad degree, so I enrolled in fall of 2021 in the Data Science master's program. I just graduated in May of 2023, and finished all my credits in July. I am writing this review because I just got a job in Boston, and wanted to show a success story and share my experiences at Central. I am grateful to Central, as I had amazing experiences, got my BS in computer science and MS in data science. The best value for my education. I felt like I owed it to Central to write this review. I was not the best student in high school or freshmen year at Central, but I got serious, worked hard and got my degrees. It has paid off, and I owe much less than my friends. Great value, totally worth it!... Read 1,370 reviews

Freshman: When I first started looking for colleges, I had an image in my head of what I wanted. I wanted to have a walkable campus, a beautiful quad, helpful professors and staff, and a diverse residency. The University of New Haven has all of these qualities! With a lively staff and an engaging academic program, I was guided and challenged to become the best version of myself. I was exposed to many different views and opinions that have helped me in my endeavors to find a career. U New Haven makes it their priority to prepare you for a career path that will not only help you, but the society that we live in today. If I could give any advice, it would be to join as many clubs as you can.

Sophomore: I’m currently in my second semester of sophomore year and after completing all of my academic courses, I’m finally able to start working towards my illustration major and animation minor. In my freshman year alone, I’ve noticed just how much my art has improved! I’ve learned to pay attention to lighting in a 3D space and how to correct my proportions when it comes to drawing anatomy. I’m focusing on character design for video games and animated movies, and the Hartford Art School offers so many introduction courses that helps to introduce the subject in a matter that’s not overwhelming. I’ve already taken Drawing 1, Intro to Animation, Drawing 2 and an Intro to Illustration, which all align with my major. I love that despite having required classes, the school still offers courses to give you a taste of the different majors that they offer. With each passing semester, I’m getting more and more excited working towards my desired career. Overall, I’ve had a good experience attending HAS... Read 1,718 reviews
