<p>Congratultions! D3 is attending the Hartt School at University of Hartford on a full scholarship and it covers only tuition.</p>
<p>There are pockets of high achieving students (probably also with good scholarships) and an active honors program, but the overall campus culture does tend toward partying. There are themed halls in Hawk Hall (freshman dorm) where you can choose to live with others with similar interests - honors, women in engineering, community service, etc.</p>
<p>In terms of the surrounding neighborhoods, there’s one direction where the neighborhood isn’t so great and three other directions where you are in serious upper middle class territory. Yale is in a much more nasty area.</p>
