Updates From The Life Balance College
At Hartwick, we believe students are humans first. That’s why we’ve designed our college experience to nurture everything about them — academics, friends, hobbies, wellness, career goals — to create a well-balanced journey unique to who they are and who they want to become.
On a campus built for balance and connection, there’s always something going on. This page will help you stay up to date on the latest things happening at Hartwick College.
Important Note

Families should complete the steps below to better understand Hartwick’s new transparent pricing and for students to receive their personalized financial aid package.
Life Balance Credit
At Hartwick, we don’t only offer extensive opportunities to create the ideal life balance — we provide the resources and financial encouragement to help your student get there. Hartwick students dedicated to developing a balanced lifestyle through career planning, outdoor recreation, club participation and other well-rounded activities can earn a $250 credit on their bill for the semester — that’s $2,000 over a four-year college career. Activities that count toward the Life Balance Credit include, but are not limited to:
- Hiking local trails
- Meeting with your advisor
- Attending sporting events
- Meeting with the Career Center
- Participating in charitable events
- Attending a campus-sponsored concert or art exhibit
- Mentoring an incoming freshman
