<p>the issue with u of h is not the academics in engineering school or sciences etc… it is the two year (hilyer college aka college of basic studies) it brings in lots of kids who are not serious students are in college to party and seem like extras from jersey shore. it brings down the quality of an otherwise great school. a free ride would make it worth going to hartford, make sure to live in the honors dorm. sadly u ha has a lot of students who transfer out and many students have an attitude of I am stuck in my safety, and never give the school a chance.</p>
