Tuscany Campus, Prato Italy
The University of New Haven opened its first international satellite campus in Prato, Italy in the fall of 2012. When our students want to spend a day in a larger, more bustling city, they’re just 20 minutes away from Florence and less than two hours from Rome. Tuition and fees remain the same as if students were attending our main campus - the only difference in price is the cost of airfare!

University of New Haven has partnered up with Verto Education to give freshmen college students an opportunity to take a college semester abroad to a country of their picking. Among the options available, students are able to pick their preferred country and take hands on courses focused on freshmen years and credits, after the semester is done students return back to their daily college life with the added benefits of credits from their semester abroad and wonderful memories and experiences like none other.

Lived both on campus & off. Off-campus housing is fantastic quality in a terrible area. On-campus housing is a mixed bag. Would not go here for freshmen year except for honors or international studies. Upper class housing is nicely air-conditioned with a lot of ResLife support. Professors are a mixed bag in business and CJ majors between a few just OK professors that may actually cause your ability to learn (and grade) to be reduced by their incompetence, lot of fantastic professors truly dedicated to your success.
If you’re transferring from a community college, less customizability for your class schedule and a lack of alternative professors within business majors’ key requirements.
Career center gets you started really well, use the graduate and undergraduate student guides! Use Handshake!
Mental health services are free and will support you through thick and thin while coordinating with other offices when necessary.
Campus police may play down reports. Advocate for yourself!

I was a commuter at the University of New Haven so I didn't get much on-campus student life experience. I liked it a lot but it's a tiny campus and not dorming made it hard to get involved. However, the classes are really good and most of the professors I encountered begged students if they had a hard time, go to the center for learning resources and ask for them. Overall it was a great experience for my freshman year but if you don't make friends or connections then it'll be very boring.
