Frequently Asked Questions Student and Housing Fees
Housing Requirement

Living on campus is an integral part of the UHart experience. All full-time undergraduate students must live in on-campus housing and participate in a meal plan during their first two years at the University.

Housing Application

At the University of Hartford, our residence halls are your home and where you will make many of your life-long friends. The housing application helps us to determine the best fit for you, in addition to informing us of specific needs or requests.

Housing Selection

Housing Selection is the process that allows returning students to select where they want to live for the following year.
