Quinnipiac University Top Questions

there are some well off kids here, but coming from a middle class family who is one of the few people who went to a public school, i feel like i definitely fit in. there are some bitchy girls but for the most part everyone here is great. yes uggs and northfaces are for sure the main thing people wear here in the winter.

I came here and found everyone I met to be friendlier than anyone at my past colleges, and not that fake nice either. The party thing is true though, not always a bad thing either.

there are more girls than boys

To an extent, but it is unfortunate that just because the majority of the school comes from upper class families does not mean that everyone is "stuck up/snobs".

yes

no not at all

True

no

Kind of...There's always the exceptions and it's hard to generalize 5,000 people entirely.

The school is mostly white, but i dont think everyone is upper class.

Being a private school, there is going to be a portion of the population that will be financially stable. However, similar to any population, there are a wide variety of people.

true

A great percentage of the campus fits it.

The parties do get out of hand i guess. As for rich people, it's hard to tell. People don't really brag. Most people get financial aid anyway.

No, many girls are know have higher morals than they get credit for. Health science majors think they're God's gift to earth but I would dare any of them to try being an Econ, Accounting or any other major on campus and see if they'd think they're as hot.

Some of these stereotypes are accurate, however there are a wide range of people at the University.

This stereotype is true in many cases, but there are also many students who are the exact opposite; students who are committed improving both the Quinnipiac and surrounding communities.

Even though a good amount of people match this stereotype it is not true at all.

Yes! - The school is getting better! The library is packed, more college kids study and take their education seriously but that doesn't mean that they dont go out on the weekends. Majority of campus (around 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}) go out to New Haven thursday-saturday night to unwind. - A lot of students are from Long Island, North Jersey but there are also a long percentage of people from Mass., New Hampshire, and Maine. - Quinnipiac is a country club and I love it that way! Our campus is AMAZING! Its soo beautiful the grass is green, everything is clean, the cleaning ladies clean bathrooms of all on campus buildings including apartment style dorms. Its awesome. - We are a white school, and QU works really hard to recruit minoraties to come here to meet the quota but there are very few Asians, African Americans, and Latinos. QU is a white school. I like it that way, that is one of the reasons that my parents decided on QU.

I think in some social groups it is certainly true, looking around the quad I see many students that could care less about the presidential election coming up because all they are thinking about is what they are going to wear to Toad's that Saturday. It is certainly discerning to see this but I know that Quinnipiac is not only made up of people like this, there are definitely real people here who are worth getting to know.
