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 Reviews
Rating 3.55 out of 5 2,465 reviews
Rating 5 out of 5
The university staff were excellent in assisting with my application and enrollment process. They went above and beyond to assist with any questions I had, as well as pre-scheduled virtual meetings to discuss my goals and find my purpose at the university. I very much have enjoyed my time at UNH, and look forward to my time there!

University of New Haven has become a part of my academic success since 2022. I was apart of a study abroad program connected to University of New Haven called Verto Education. I was pleased with the great selection of courses offered and the support that was given to me throughout my college career. From academics to student life, I found it relieving to see how well I was able to balance my daily tasks. Due to the great attention paid to me by the administrators, it pushed me to become the best student I can be. Not only has University of New Haven expressed great support, they have also maintained a safe and healthy environment for us all. However, I would say the school itself should provide more tools, such as guidance for registering for classes since it can be difficult for incoming students.

My experience at the University of New Haven has been pleasant for the most part, professors are usually pretty helpful and want to see you succeed. The campus is okay, nothing crazy compared to other universities but it's nice. There are a lof of tech problems that occur whether it be with wifi or equipment and it may take quite some time to resolve depending on the occurrence. The staff here are also nice and very willing to help as well with any questions you may have, however, there are issues with problems getting resolved in certain departments. Actions start being taken but then are shortly forgotten and left to the students to deal with.
