Quinnipiac University Top Questions

The population here is not very diverse, but people are different--many unique groups and organizations on campus. A student that likes to just be a number in a classroom would feel out of place here. Students wear sweatpants to class and also dress up. Most students dress nicely for presentations and mock interviews. Most Quinnipiac students are from NY, NJ, CT, MA and other places along the east coast. I have met a few students from foreign countries also, such as Greece, Trinidad, and Brazil. Students are not politically aware and active-we are the most apathetic school in this part of the country, according to studies.

I don't think Quinnipiac is a place where you have to worry about what you wear to class. You can get away with a cute dress while some people are dressed up for SGA or Greek Life and someone else is in sweatpants. Everyone is kind of doing their own thing on a daily basis and I don't think anyone is too concerned with what other people are wearing.

Anyone who is unique or different would feel out of place here at QU. Everyone looks and dresses alike here at QU. People have a lot of money here. Black and white kids tend not to interact that much. Other races do interact. Most students from NY or NJ. People are not politically aware, only half of the students in one of my classes voted - thats rediculous.

my roommate and my little sister from my sorority are black so i'm really involved with the BSU events. i recently attended the fashion show, which was amazing, and saw very few white or any other race qu students there. most students from QU are of the upper middle class who have parents who graduated from college. it's hearing somewhat of the same story when i talk to people. any kind of student could feel out of place at QU. i sometimes feel out of place even though im from the upper middle class, white, and a business major. i feel out of place because i dont enjoy following the latest fashions of "juicy coutoure" or however you spell it. i also feel out of place because i dont enjoy drinking nor do i understand it. people pressure you to drink here and it's something that should stop. students dont really talk about how much they'll earn one day but they do talk about the jobs they hope to achieve.

There are many different organizations on campus that people can par-take in. But many choose not to when it could help them out much later in life.

the majority of the population is white. kids wear sweatpants to class, people dont get as dressed as other schools for classes. students here are not politically aware by any means. if somethings wrong at other schools, theyll have protests and stuff. kids here will complain and shrug it off. theres no time for people to paritcipate in debates.

mostly the kids at qu are similiar. we aren't the most diverse place. but i feel like most people get along and are accepting of differences. students wear sweats to class a lot. most qu kids are from new england. mass, nj, ny, ct. politics aren't big, but most come from wealthy families.

Way to many girls and little school spirit

There have been racial slurs written on campus that upset me because they are so inappropriate. I think that gays,lesbians, loners, and people avidly into the underground music scene feel out of place. Most QU students are from NY, NJ, and Massachusetts and they are wealthy. Very few are politically aware and I wish we could have more conversations about current events in class and out of class with my peers.

The campus here is very one sided in dealing with race. We are mostly a white community but Quinnipiac is trying to change that. Students normally dress nicely to class but I wear sweatpants alot. Many students are from well of families but then some are putting themselves through school.

there are a lot of organizations that try to make the campus more diverse. Quinnipiac is not known for its diversity, but it trying to make it better

Most students wear jeans or sweats to class with a t-shirt and sweatshirt. There are some people that get dressed up everyday. Most students are from the NY, NJ, CT, or MA. Most students are not politically aware and are from a mix of finanical backgrounds.

The student body here is somewhat diverse. I believe that it could be a little more diverse, but regardless of that fact, everyone interacts with everyone else and there is no discrimination.

ethnically/ racially different people would feel out of place because everyone is white. students should stop wearing just spandex.

most students either wear sweatpants and t-shirt to class, or they get completely too dressed up. This is class not a club.

There are a lot of stereotypes about the students at Quinnipiac... rich, snobby, white. I've even heard people call it a 'country club'. I think most of the people at QU are pretty much the same, but they really aren't snobby. Rich, yes most of them are, but that doesn't mean thy aren't nice people. Most of the students are from NY, NJ, CT, MA, or RI

Quinnipiac contacts mostly upper-middle class white kids. A lot from the NY,CT,NJ area. Not a lot of racial diversity...some intolerance on the campus. So a student that didn't fit in to this might feel out of place on campus...although there are a lot of clubs that would accomodate people from diverse backgrounds. A lot of students get dressed fairly nice for class (jeans and a nice top) but others just wear sweats and that normal too. Very politically apathetic.

There really isn't a lot of diversity at QU, but with the exception of a few isolated incidents there are very few issues. I really don't feel like people are politically active, but I really don't think that people are as apathetic as QU is labeled.

most quinnipiac students are from the northeast coast

This school does not have much diversity, but I think we are all much different than the stereotype of rich white kids.
