Graduate Student Experience

Graduate students contribute greatly to making UHart the vibrant community that it is. During their time here, our graduate students enrich our lives and then go forward to continue on in their successful careers. 

We know our graduate students have a lot on their plate, so we've developed a number of ways students can feel a part of the campus community while also achieving their goals of personal and professional growth. 

Health & Well Being Resources

We offer many services and activities to allow you to take a break from academics and focus on your mental health and well-being.

Sports & Fitness

Inside our 13,000-square-foot Sports Center, you can work out in our newly renovated fitness facility or take a dip in our swimming pool. Facilities include a weight room, a basketball court, treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. We also offer a wide range of sports-related activities, including soccer, flag football, softball, and volleyball.

Tutoring

The University offers generalist writing tutoring for graduate students. Students seeking generalist writing tutoring should email ctctutor@hartford.edu with their request. 

Graduate Housing

The University of Hartford has several new housing options for our graduate students, including the recent renovation of existing housing.

We have designed our graduate housing so students like you can focus on the other important things in front of you as you prepare for your studies. The renovations upgraded the spaces and made them feel like home without the added stress of securing housing, finding furniture, and coordinating utilities.

Some highlights of the units are below:

  • Housing communities are composed of graduate students and feature fully renovated single and double bedrooms, bathrooms, and shared living spaces.
  • Two bedroom- one bath and 3 bedroom- two bath units are available.
  • Units are conveniently located to your classes, lab spaces and the library.
  • Facilities are completely furnished including bedroom, living room, and kitchen furniture as well as kitchen appliances and a microwave.
  • All utilities including water, electricity, trash, and heat are included.
  • Academic year, as well as summer housing options are available.
