Quinnipiac University Top Questions

I think the size is perfect. You are able to get to know a majority of the people or they at least become familiar but you do not feel like the school is way too small. People usually say "where is that" or "is that the place that does all the polling?" when I say I go to Quinnipiac. Also, I think there needs to be more Quinnipiac school pride and wish everyone was more involved with the athletics. I was always remember my time as part of a sorority.

Quinnipiac is an amazing school. The campus is beautiful and the curriculum is prestegious. The college town near us is New Haven. Students like to go there on the weekends and hang out, but many people stay on campus as well. There is a big amount of school pride on our campus especially with our sports teams. Lastly, everyone is involved in the campus community becuase there are so many clubs available for one to join.

good school but it's getting too populated for the size of campus. Not a college town. The administration doesnt handle problems well. Shouldnt have taken away may weekend. Only school pride for quinnipiac

One thing I would change about QU is the parking situation. I feel that all student reguardless of class should be able to bring their cars on campus. The shuttles here are very unreliable and it leave freshman in the position of taking the shuttle and possibly it not coming or asking people to take them places. One of my most memorable experiences was Orientation but it has changed alot and I think that is something that should be looked into changing back. The most frequent student complaints is that the official May Weekend has been taken away. I realize that there was a fatality last year, but the activites that are in teh Quad on Saturday should not have been taken away.

Quinnipiac has an absolutely beautiful campus. However, they are letting more and more students in which sucks, because it's a pretty small school, but I like that it's small. The library definitely needs to be bigger because it's already hard to find a seat. And the cafe can get really crowded and I don't think it's set up well because there's always people walking in all directions. But the food isn't too bad, and I think the professors at QU are great. They really care about their students and you can go to them for anything.

Quinnipiac is the most amazing place ever...i love it here. it's definatly just the perfect size...especially class size...all of your professors know your name and you feel like you know them too. i would probably change the cafeteria..often very crowded and not that big of a variety of food...but they are expanding it next year. Biggest controversy has to do with the censorship in the student newspaper.

Quinnipiac is a perfect school for people who don't like being in a crowded place but still want to have access to a city. It is a small school, but it's comfortable. The only real issue with Quinnipiac is race, but I don't remember there really being any problems before this year. There are several groups working to rectify that though. People are incredibly into QU's sports, but no one really shows any support for the women's teams, which is unfortunate because our women's basketball team is amazing. Very few people have actually heard of QU, but the general reaction is "that's the place that does the polling, right?" I think the biggest complaint on campus is the food, especially price, but that's the biggest complaint on every college campus.

most frequent student complaints is cafeteria food; no variety

I really like going to Quinnipiac. I like the size of the school and I feel I really belong and fit in with everyone on campus. I don't think our administration is the best, but the school itself definitely opens doors. When I tell people I go to Qu, they are extremely impressed.

Quinnipiac is an absolutely beautiful campus that is set in the middle of Hamden, CT. The school size is perfect for those that want and need personal attention from their professors. One of the things that I love most about Quinnipiac is its Greek life and one of the things that I dislike about Quinnipiac is its cafeteria food. There is not much selection and you are bascially forced to each the same things day after day.

my school is just right, people have no idea where my school is or how to say it

For a gorgeous campus, Quinnipiac's dorms are lacking. I lived in a forced triple last year in Troup and it was one of the most awful experiences of my life. I had to climb on my desk and jump into the top bunk of my bed because the school did not provide two ladders, nor was there room for two ladders. There was no air conditioning, bass music blasting throughout the halls 24/7, and not enough space.

I think the size of Quinnipiac is perfect - not too big and not too small. And although it bothers me that some people don't know where exactly Quinnipiac is located when I tell them that I go here, I have noticed that we are becoming more and more well known since I first enrolled. Some argue that there is not a lot of school pride because we do not have a football team but I disagree with that. Walking up and down dorm road, there are so many people wearing Quinnipiac clothing that it is difficult to count. And in my opinion, football is replaced by hockey. A lot of people attend the games and I've had a lot of fun at them in the past.

The best thing about quinnipiac is the size of the campus and the academics. The size of the campus is not to big , not too small and the academics especially the health sciences are excellent. My only complaint that i have noticed more recently is that the school has slowly been becoming a suitcase school and i feel if there was more to do on the weekends that wouldnt be a problem.

One major complaint I have with Quinnipiac is the security's overabuse of their power. Many of the security underlings are demeaning to students, and seem to go out of their way to make things difficult for the students. While parking is a major issue on campus, security's inspection of cars, especially cars full of kids, is ridiculous. Not all security personnel are this way, some of them are very nice, but others abuse their power, and make things very difficult for the students. Also - the guest policy on campus is ridiculous. It's not fair that students are only allowed to register one student at a time. This policy only creates greater problems. When a student has more than one friend coming to visit, they have other students register their extra guests. Now there is a student walking around campus who is registered to a person they might not even know, but they register this person, because they know that their friend would do the same for them.

- perfect size - not too big and not too small - beautiful campus, easy to get around - very friendly people - some problems with res life and housing - dorms are nice, love having three roomates

The professors really try to get to know you and want to see you succeed. The school is just the right size that everyone does not know your business but small enough that there is a level of intimacy and not intimidation.

I loooove our teachers and administration!!! Our cafeteria is expanding, thank God! Our school should be a little bit bigger but it is a very good size as it is.

Quinnipiac University is a good size school, not to big but not to small. It is a well-known, and very challenging in academics. It has a beautiful campus, surrounded by the Sleeping Giant Mountains.

I feel as though Quinnipiac is to conservative-- as compared to other schools like Conn College, Brown, Barnard, etc. Too strict-- we're not in high school, and we pay good money for this school. I think there should be more day time events on the weekends and more publicity for those events-- festivals, etc. I also think the school needs to do more about diversity without making it obvious (having minorities stay with other minorities for a night?)
