Quinnipiac University Top Questions

Security is good. Shuttle buses a major plus! Parking is a pain

This school is good for any student that doesn't need to be in an overcrowded basement drinking Naty light from a keg to have fun. I like to drink but i don't need to but swamped with people to do it. Sure there are nights when nothings really happening and you just drink with your boys or play pong, but other nights are great. And yes there is be some nights were you can go to a kegger in a basement.

President Leahy should take a more active role in getting to know the student body and should be seen more on campus and at campus activities. He has come to only 2 women's basketball games. It is important he knows the students that go to his university. Our school is growing tremendously and it will take awhile for our school to earn the reputation we deserve. The tuition needs to stop increasing because we are not an ivy league school and we should stop charging so much. It really is turning people away because the cost is just unimaginable. For a school that is not known outside of the New England area, we should not have to pay an ivy league price. I understand the school is growing but more fund raising needs to take place.

The meal plan here is pretty awful. The meal plan alone for the first two (while I was still on it) made me want to transfer to a different school. They force you to pay a lot of money on a meal plan and then charge you ridiculous amounts on a per item basis. I don't fully remember the specific prices because I no longer use the meal plan but here's an example. At the end of the year when people have extra money that they need to spend, the school charges somewhere around $30 for a case of 12oz bottles of water that you could buy at stop and shop for $5. I could purchase things at the store and feed myself for a week for the price that it costs to eat in the cafe for 1 day.

We need more boyssssss sooo if you are a boy you should come.

We need more housing on campus that does not include the meal plan.

Great education....terrible politics. Lack of personal freedoms and rights now even effect those who having nothing to hide or have done nothing wrong. The school takes a lot of liberties to keep a clean image. A student who held an anti-war poster on the quad was suspended for "potentially starting a riot." The school doesn't encourage social activism or opinion. If something is wrong we are told to ignore it. We pay 40K a year, yet we don't have any say into the product we are receiving. Great school if you are willing to go to class, ignore situations that you know are wrong, and never disagree with the administration.

Quinnipiac is a great school! Of course there are things that I wish I could change, like the cost of books, but those are issues that you will find at every school.

Quinnipiac is amazing! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

I love Quinnipiac University and I am so glad I chose to come to school here.

I LOVE QUINNIPIAC!!!!

NEW BLUE RUGBY IS AWSOME

The school isn't perfect, but it's a great time. I've had some good times at QU and I can't wait for next year. And it does provide a great educational environment. I spent last semester studying in Ireland at a school that has 15,000 students. I didn't realize how good the education at QU was until I went over there and found out how bad it can be.

housing is ridiculous, there is not enough space for the amount of students they accept.

I love it here. I love the atmosphere, the school spirit, the classes and professors, and the campus activities are so fun- last night I went to one where there was ALL FREE yoga, wax hand making, dippin dots, and a flavored oxxygen bar! FREE RAFFLES at all big events. FREE giveaways all the time- always at hockey games if you go early. SUCH A FUN PLACE TO BE!

A lot of the stereotypes tend to be true, not the majority but you will find what you here about. Classes are hard, and no one gets through without a lot of effort. Drinking happens everyday, and so does studying. Skipping 3 classes a semester is a sin. The caf is rediculous and will charge you for the air you're walking in on. Residence Halls don't get much better than what we have, they are all generally sweet. Cliques still exist and you better join one quick. Always take a Tuesday night class. The rec center is a little weak. Campus is really as nice as it sounds, is in pictures. QU is the typical New England college campus. Get involved, its the best way to meet people, make connections and balance your time. The "big" parties on campus is maybe 30-40 people and that lasts about an hour. Play ping-pong. Pick a side New York or Boston and yes you have to care. Map out the days there is free food, which is usually 5 or 6 days a week. Make nice with staff in every department it will make life easier. Once you're here though, you don't notice many of the negatives because you become immersed. I wouldn't trade going here for anything. There is good and bad everywhere.

QU is NOT right for everyone. I feel as though you really do need to be a certain type of person to come here. Personally, I'm transferring because most peopel suck and made me feel like shit. Living 3 or 4 people to a room is ridiculous and also adds to the problem. But academically QU is great and the campus is gorgeous.

buy rain galoshes, the campus floods TERRIBLY. go to sleeping giant. don't loose your Q card. DON'T buy your books from the overpriced bookstore.

It's all a matter of finding your place. You're lucky if you find good roommates or friends early on who you fit well with, because anyone outside of the typical trendy, drinker, non-academic student is usually hard to find. Be yourself and people like you will migrate towards each other.

The campus is beatutiful, the people are nice, teh teachers are great. The administration running the school sucks. Cheap, out for themselves, don't care about students.
