University of Hartford and Hartford CT

[naladude911]

I got accepted into engineering at the University of Hartford and I am very interested in going there. Does anyone have any reviews about the university or about the town? So far I have read that there are lots of parties, its a 50-50 girl-boy ratio, twenty people per class, the town is great, and yea.

I've never been happier about moving out of CT.

Kidding. Sorta. Honest opinion? Hartford will eat you alive.

Wear a helmet.

[Mr1der]

if you want an engineering degree, you better put partying far far out of your mind.

[ADDirishboy]

Have fun not getting laid in college.

[naladude911]

wait, why

[ADDirishboy]

You will spend ALL your time studying and working on projects. Seriously. I live not too away from UofA campus. The engineering building ALWAYS has tons of people in it.

Welcome to Baltimore Michele



Enjoy your stay

Funny, I don't see any little white girls in there. I think I'm okay.

You know that its fine here. Just stick to the county most of the time, and dont venture too far off my street after dark in my neighborhood.

[hbpignosePA]

hahahah somehow it doesnt suprise me your choice of schools are so preppy.

no offense to anyone;

it doesnt matter where you go, your fail will follow im sure

[Bmore-coupe]

Im not sure what towns that I have visited in CT (Michele help me on this one) but I liked everything that I saw up there. Seemed like an ok state.

In related news: Michele, I need to go back to that place that we went to where they had comfy couches to sit on and they gave you a fire at your table to make smores.

That place was the s***!

I live 20 minutes from Hartford. We ventured the surrounding areas, like West Hartford... where the smores place was. (Yay Cosi!) My area, Ellington, Vernon, South Windsor, Manchester, and the bar we went to was in Windsor (Mark's stomping grounds).

It's a nice place... if you're looking to settle down and do nothing.

[Bmore-coupe]

Cosi, that was it!! Soo great. They need to open one down here.

Ryan, Staples and I passed one on our way home from Jersey! Ryan says there's a place just like it in MD though. Melting Pot I think?

Melting Pot is a fondu place. Good, but not the same. Really expensive too.

lol MD already has them, silly... There's one 10 minutes from here. Also, one in Columbia...

This is definitely not true.

There is always a lot of work to be done, but not anywhere near life consuming unless you think your gonna get straight A's/Are pretty dumb, but very dedicated/take 19 units a quarter.

Pretty much everyone I know is engineering students. The only ones consumed by it are the ones who choose to be.

Also depends on what kind of engineering you are doing.

I see nala being chewed up and spit out, for quite a few reason. Most of which is his apparent complete lack of common sense and intelligence.

Sounds like you want to move out of your parent's house and be on your own to do what you want more than you want to go to school. It takes a lot of self-discipline to succeed in college, regardless of your major. Sometimes you have to say no to your roommate, the parties and the girls in order to get stuff done.

Also, not sure if you have seen this yet, but tuition is $39,000+ per year. If your parents are willing to spend that kind of money, you better get straight A's. Are your grades good enough to get a scholarship?

98% of the time you have to say no to your roommate, the parties and the girls in order to get stuff done.

Fixed.

Engineering is no joke. You won't have any free time with that major. If you wanted a party-friendly major, you should have picked business or something in communications.

[nissangirl74]

but tuition is $39,000+ per year.

You need to verify if this is for in-state or out-of-state tuition. Seeing as how you are from NY, your tuition is probably gonna be more.

Whaaaat? I have to look that up in the morning

[AZ89two4Tsx]

ASU! ASU! ASU!!!!!!!

Whatever you do Nala, don't go there, because I will be.

But yeah, I know a dude that's majoring in engineering. And as said, it's time consuming, and you don't get to have very much fun.

[Dattebayo]

There are three, actually.

Your choice.

I've only been to the Columbia one, personally.

[downedzephyr]

an engineering major? kiss your social life goodbye nala. and yes, that means no more dancing

[Red coupe]

Fixed.

Again, depends on the type of engineering, be even with the harder ones there is time to party pretty easy.

Its a hard major, and you have to do a bit of work... but its not like you can do nothing but read books. Its not THAT hard.I only know one guy who has time for nothing but school work. The rest find plenty of time, even while being active in school clubs.

Maybe you went to a lax engineering school. We are surrounded by top engineering schools here, and I can say that most of my friends who had engineering classes did not have time for much else. I would see them get to go out maybe one day a week.

I am certainly not at Harvard, but Cal Poly is reasonably well known for our engineering programs.

(also, not "went"... still going )

[Dattebayo]

I would also like to put out there that the guys who did spend all that time in school are now having the time of their lives. I am soooo jealous.

[naladude911]

Hartford is a pretty laid back engineering school I think. I originally did and early decision for RIT but got out of it because they only accepted me for mechanical engineering technology which I didn't want to do. Also, I read that everyone just plays WOW and no one socializes lol. f*** that.

[nametakennow]

You can pretty much ignore what most people ever tell you about Engineering majors and the "social scene" of any non-huge college. Fact is, until you go visit and actually get a student's perspective, you won't have a clear picture of what life at that school is like.

I go to a predominately engineering and computer science school. There are plenty of engineers with solid grades who party. It's all about time management.

There are also plenty of people here who sit around and play WoW all the time. That's true at many schools. It's highly dependent on the personality of the individual, not on what school or what major they are in.

Frankly, you have to let loose sometimes or you'll get too stressed out in college. You just have to learn when it's a good time to do so.

I suggest you try to go to the best school you can get into for whatever type of engineering you want to do.
