Choices: Stories You Play Wiki


Hartfeld University is one of North America's most elite academic institutions. It is the primary setting of The Freshman series, The Sophomore series, The Junior series and The Senior series respectively. The main characters of The Haunting of Braidwood Manor and Endless Summer are also Hartfeld students, while several characters in other books like Bachelorette Party and Veil of Secrets are alumni of the college. In addition, Your Character from The Elementalists series drops out from Hartfeld.

Hartfeld University may be specifically located in Massachusetts (in New England), near Northbridge (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.

Trivia

  • In a premium flashback scene of LoveHacks, Book 1, Main Character and Mark can think back to their first meeting which happened at college using the Hartfeld classroom. MC and Mark both attended the American Literature class by Vasquez but Mark had previously lost a bet at a sorority party and therefore had to streak together with other unseen guys. Mark tried to stay in a back row to sign the attendance sheet as he didn't want to fail the class but Vasquez still saw him and sent him out.
  • In High School Story, Book 1, Chapter 6, if you decide to go to the LAN party with Nishan, Sakura, Luis, and Myra, they will be playing against 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" (who appears to be Madison Eckhart) and "Trippinator" (who appears to be Tripp).
  • In The Junior, Book 1, it is revealed by Nathan Sterling that the "Alphas" funded the English building back then when his father and uncle were part of the fratority.
    • The east wing of the building is therefore called Sterling Hall.
    • The west wing of the English building is named Regal Hall after another prominent Alpha Theta Mu family. One of its members is called Sam Regal who still donates.
  • In Chapter 6 of The Elementalists, Your Character (The Elementalists) reveals to Aster that he/she met a yoga instructor during welcome week at Hartfeld.
  • In a premium scene in Chapter 4 of High School Story: Class Act, Book 1, Luis may mention to Emma that Hartfeld has one of the best creative writing programs in the nation.
  • On December 17, 2018, PB did a livestream where they revealed that while The Senior is the last of the Freshman series, this may not be the last college-based series PB does.
    • They also hinted at Hartfeld possibly being the setting of this potentially future other college-based series.
  • The university shares the same name as the place it is located in. In Chapter 5 of Wishful Thinking, it is mentioned there is a local wildlife reserve somewhere in Hartfeld.
