I feel that one of the biggest things we have to tackle on campus, and one of the most underrated things, is the meal plan. we simply do not get enough bang for our buck. all of the food is too expensive and our meal plan is not conducive to eating 3 meals a day every day for an entire semester

Alexa

it's an amazing school because it feels smaller than it really it. I love the campus because it's gorgeous and everything is close together. I think it's a perfect size because you do not feel like an just a number and also you still see people everyday that you have never seen before.

Royce

Our school is the perfect size. I feel i have grown to know and trust my professors and they show a compassion for their teaching. This school offers many opportunities and i am proud to be a student here.

QU is a great school academically. It is however accepting too many new students and the current students suffer with inadequate housing.

Amanda

I think quinnipiac is really great except for their disciplinary board. They are very tough on students without knowing all the facts and give out ridiculous punishments that are unwarranted. They also have a way of trying to hide any problems that occur on campus even going so far as to hide them from the student population.

Academically, Quinnipiac is very good. I believe we have a great health science curriculum. Socially, I think there are not enough males for the amount of females that are on campus. I think a lot of the issues that occur on campus are ignored or kept secret. I have experienced some very difficult times throughout my two year duration at Quinnipiac and not one person working at this school has acknowledged these hard times. The lottery system for housing puts a lot of unnecessary stress on the students while they can be focusing on their academics. During my freshman year I did not get a lottery number at all which put a lot of stress on me on top of all of my school work. I was also sexually assaulted during May Weekend last year and since then not one faculty member of this school has made an effort to contact me and to see how I am handling everything. I also do not think that Quinnipiac has a lot of school spirit which may be because of the size of the school but because of this lack of spirit, it makes the school a lot less fun to be attending. I may be very bitter towards the school because of my previous experiences but I personally would not recommend this school to anyone and I think that is sad.

Quinnipiac is a growing community that allows students to have some amazing opportunities during their college years. The education that is received through the university is one of the best and is what attracts many people to the campus. However it is the organizations and leadership opportunities that keep the people here.

Nicole

I feel that the best thing about Quinnipiac is the academics. One thing I would change is making there be more activites a little closer to campus.I feel the size of the school is just right. I spend most of my time in my dorm, either in the study lounge or friend's rooms. I feel the biggest recent controversy has been the issue with the newspaper and the administration's reaction to it. The most frequent student complianst have been about cafeteria money, caf hours, along with the housing lottery problems and scheduling.

i love the scenery of quinnipiac. i love teh quad, and the library. everyone at quinnipiac in the health science major is extemely motivated and we all try really hard

Tracy

The best thing about QU is the beautiful campus and the small population so you get to feel comfortable around campus. Qu is small enough that you feel at home but big enough so you meet new people everyday. One thing i would change is more interaction between each school (school of health science, school of buisness, etc.) On the weekends a lot of people do go into New Haven because there are a lot of things to do, but it is possible to stay on campus and have fun. Some negative aspects of QU are the prices, some lack of involvment on behalf of the students, and sometimes its hard to deal with security, registration, res life or other staff unless you get your parents to call. Overall, i think QU is a great place to come if you are looking for a smaller school in a quiet area that is visually pleasing but you still have access to a major city within 10 minutes.

The best thing about Quinnipiac is the campus, it is one of the prettiest in the Northern region it even beats Yale University's. If I could change on thing about QU it would be the diversity in all aspects of the campus. QU is a medium sized school not too big to get lost in and not too small you feel as if there is nothing to do. Quinnipiac's administration tries its best to help the student body 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the time they are sucessful and the other 5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} the students begin to voice their opinions about what the administration has failed to do. I will always remember the experiences I have at QU because it has helped me become the person that I am and has challenged everything I thought was right or how things should be.

its nice outside

Blake

I love the atmosphere of Quinnipiac University. On a nice day it is just great to see everyone around the quad enjoying life. It is comforting and welcoming.

Kellie

Poor parking situation, poor housing system. All undergraduates should have the opportunity to live on campus for a full four years, that aspect is such a huge component of the college life. Requiring so many student to life off campus doesn't help campus spirit and unity. Beautiful setting, well-kept grounds.

lauren

quinnipiac is kind of off the radar. i mean not many people know where the school is or what we are about. most people know that we do political polls, but they dont know much else.

Cody

I would have better parking available for students. I would also have less students living dorm rooms. I think the class sizes are good. When I tell people I go to Quinnipiac, one they normally mispronounce it and then the second thing is they have heard of our polls. Now that I live off campus, I spend most of my time at my apt but when I lived on campus, I was on campus most of the time. I think Hamden is a college problem in the sense that you have all things any college student could need on one street and providing shuttles to other locations in order to meet their needs, e.g. the movies or taraget. The biggest constroversy on campus was the racial slurs written on the dorm doors. Yes, I think Quinnipiac as school pride, but we need to sport female sports better. I would say the unusal thing about Quinnipiac is that we are right across from a state park, I don't think most college campus have that. An experience I will always remember is joining Phi Sig, and getting my little, a girl who becoming friends and sisters with has made my college experience so much better. Most frequent complaints is too many kids in a dorm room, no parking, and maybe later hours to get food on campus.

Drew

the best thing about quinnipiac is the campus. if i had to change anything i would add more parking lots to the campus so that students can park on campus.

Wally

there has been racial problems .. racial slurs written which just isnt cool. def needs more diversity.people say that we dont care about anything, however thats not true. look at the 112,000 we just raised at relay for life. town life is ok around here. there are good bars and its always fun to go into new haven.

lauren

Most people don't know where or what Quinnipiac is

morgan

The best thing about Quinnipiac is the small classes with individual attention. I would change the fact that its in my hometown. Quinnipiac is way too expensive. A lot of school pride when it comes to sports, especially hockey.
