Hartfeld University

Hartfeld University is one of North America's most elite academic institutions. It is the primary setting of The Freshman series and The Sophomore series. The main characters of The Haunting of Braidwood Manor and Endless Summer are also Hartfeld students, while several characters in #LoveHacks are alumni of the college.

Hartfeld University may be specifically located in Massachusetts (in New England), Northbridge or somewhere near (although it was confirmed in The Freshman, Book 1, Chapter 17 that Hartfeld itself is a town). At first, many thought it was located in New York City, but that was proven to be untrue when James Ashton's parents, who live in New York City, visited James at Hartfeld. Gabriela Vasquez is from Greenfield, Massachusetts, and James mentioned it was an hour away from Hartfeld, so it can be inferred that Hartfeld University is either in Massachusetts or in Connecticut.

During the event in Endless Summer, Book 2, Chapter 14, it is revealed that Hartfeld was destroyed due to the events of Raan'losti and all the students and staff are presumed deceased.

Two characters from the Veil of Secrets book were students from Hartfeld prior to the events of the series.

Trivia

 * In High School Story, Book 1, Chapter 6, if you decide to go the LAN party with Nishan, Sakura, Luis and Myra, they will be playing a team called "Team Heartfelt"; which means that the team could be made up of students attending Hartfeld. Another idea that strengthens this, is that there are players called "KappaKutie12345" which appears to be Madison Eckhart and "Trippinator" which appears to be Tripp.
