Students at the University of New Haven have the best of both worlds, an active on campus community, and access to the city of New Haven. Whether students are interested in cultural, intellectual, or social pursuits, they have wealth of opportunities from which to choose.
Among the student activities which have proved popular over the years are special theme events such as Family Day and Spring Weekend. Whether it's taking part in the Inflatable Fun Fest, or dancing to the music at the Spring Weekend Concert, there are plenty of ways to mingle with fellow students and friends.
The Center for Student Engagement, Leadership and Orientation works in conjunction with student organizations and clubs to host performances, such as comedy nights, game shows, open mic nights, and movie nights on the weekends.
