Quinnipiac University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Quinnipiac University accurate?

Carolyn

Not really, maybe for some people, but definitely not the majority

Ashley

Some people are like these stereotypes...but that majority of the campus is not. A small number of people give everyone a bad name.

KC

Not for the most part; there are a lot of people who seem like they do nothing but drink, but there are a lot of smart, serious students too.

Jessica

mostly yes

Barbara

In some ways yes, but I think it's unfair to categorize everyone in this stereotype because there are smart, responsible people on this campus as well.

Sabrina

I would not consider Quinnipiac a campus that is diverse based on race or ethnicity. Many of the students that attend this school have similar economic status.

Liz

not for everyone

Sarah

With the library as overpacked as it is, I'd like to believe that students work hard in their studies and limit their drinking and partying to after schoolwork. Students in the school of health science seem to focus more on their studies than the other schools.

Marisa

No these stereotypes are not accurate at all. I think we are just as smart and serious about our work as Yale students, if not more.

Liz

To some degree yes

Chris

For the most part, the majority of the student population does come from money, but not all are as stuck up as they appear, although it seems that a large population of the students are. It's expensive to come here, so it makes sense that the majority of the people that can afford to come here come from families that are well off. The 'slutty' persona of the female population is, for the most part, in my opinion, false, and while Quinnipiac is trying to increase the diversity on campus, the majority of the population is white.

Christy
