REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI can say that college is definitely different from high school but at the end of the day it is all about how much effort you put into your work. The University of New Haven has so much to offer. There's tutoring readily available, mentors for us that live in our residential buildings, and professors that are always a call/email away.
Julissa from New York, NY
diverse students and faculty members. professors are up to date on the latest information, and many still work in their fields of expertise. variety of resources available to students in their search for internships, jobs, study abroad opportunities etc.
Lani from West Warren, MA
my course load wasnt unbearable for me. i actually enjoyed it. there are ALOT of resource's though if you feel you need help with anything.
Tori from Jamaica, NY
Although snow days are fun, I actually look forward to going to class! I learn so much at every class session. The professors are all well experienced in the fields I am studying and incorporate their experiences with the information in the textbooks. The classes sizes are small so it is easier to concentrate, ask questions and get one on one attention.
Yesenia from Ontario, CA
The teachers are really nice and help out a lot. Also if the teacher is unavailable, there is a peer tutoring center and center for learning resources which contains tons of faculty that just go to the library to help students. The best thing is that all the tutoring help is free! Also, in the dorms they have Academic Peer Mentors that are there to help you with anything you need.
Heather from Stephenville, TX
the university of new haven has a wide variety of ways for my to excel as a student. they also ask in classes to venture off campus to learn by doing. this university has very helpful teachers as well that are very helpful and understanding.
Kelsey from Milton, VT
Don't ever think you can just 'cram'! I'm a Forensic Science major, and every class I take requires all of your effort. But this is not as crazy as it seems because everything blends together the more classes you take.
Manette from Fontana, CA
While some classes may not seem useful to take, they really help round out your education. I have learned so much here. I have taken more credits here than most students I know elsewhere. All of our teachers here have real world experience in their fields, so it's not like you're learning from a textbook either.
Michelle from Islip Terrace, NY
University of New Haven is an amazing school to attend. Most, if not all, of the teachers here have experience in the classes they are teaching because they have worked in the field. The experience here is one of a kind.
Nicolette from Wolcott, CT
The University of New Haven is small, yet a very warm and welcoming environment. Our classes are challenging and taught by very qualified teachers who have experience both in the class room and in the field that they are teaching. University of New Haven is the school you want to be a part of.
