Quinnipiac University Top Questions

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?)
