Quinnipiac University Top Questions

The best thing about Quinnipiac is the size. I used to want to go to a larger school, such as UConn, but now I am so glad I chose this medium sized school. It is important and "safe" to feel that you know a lot of people you can say hi to when you're walking to class. The campus is GORGEOUS and in the Spring, the quad looks like a beach, everyone is outside with friends listening to music. New Haven is about 10 minutes away, has a million night clubs, and the shuttle takes everyone there. The school pride is incredible, especially at Hockey games-- everyone goes. I guess a downside is that there is no football team but the Hockey games definitely make up for it. I'll always remember the T-Pain concert and just every weekend with my friends, whether on campus or road trips to friends' houses. The most complaints are that people do not like the "quality" of people here, but personally, I think those people have personality flaws! Everyone is SO nice and its impossible not to make a great group of friends unless you hide in your bunk!

The best thing about QU is the campus. The buildings look brand new, the technology is always up to date, and the scenery is gorgeous. One thing I would change would be the cafe, but they are doing that next year. It was to small for the amount of students. When I tell people I go to QU most of them know where it is and always comment on how beautiful the campus is. I spend the majority of my time in the dorms doing work and hanging out with my roomates. We go into New Haven every weekend on saturdays, but fridays we stay on campus.

I feel the best thing abou Quinnipiac is the internships. I know that one of the reasons I wanted to come here was because I found out about what internships the School of Communications had. One thing I would change about Quinnipiac would be the teachers. Mant teahcers, especially Math prof., do not really speak English well. This makes it hard to learn and very tiring. I think my school size is just right, but then again, i also came from a graduating class of 792 and a high school of 3500. When I say I go to Quinnipiac, most people have not heard of it unless they are familiar with the progrmas, then many know it is well-known in Communications. Most people go "Quinni who?" I spend most of my time on campus roaming around or in my room. But when it is nice outside, I try to do anything to be outside. "What college town?" I dislike how we have to take the shuttle to ANYTHING we want to get to. I think Quinnipiac's administration is very educated and experienced as well as friendly. The biggest recent controversy on campus is getting rid of May weekend. I feel like there is tons of school pride, especially for hockey games. I think that there is not anything unusual about Quinnipiac, but the attractions to the campus are Sleeping Giant Mountain and the beautiful campus itself. I will always remember the first hockey game as well as the Yale hockey game and the energy sports games bring out of people. The most frequent complaints are how early the cafeteria closes, but this might be changing.

The school is not too big but not too small. You get to know the people in your dorm very well because its not overwhelming large. The hockey games are very popular and the tickets always sell out. Its a friendly atmosphere. In the warm weather, people often do work out on the quad or hike the sleeping giant mountain which is directly across the street.

great middle sized school for most majors and people of most walks of life. very little racial diversity but a broad range of people and interests. many leadership opportunities but as soon as you challenge anything you are shut down. administration is very concentrated on the schools image and the longterm growth and success of the school. It leaves the current students treated poorly and shoved under the rug.

I would change the boy-girl ratio to more equal. I wish there was more school spirit.

I believe that quinnipiac is the perfect school for the type of person who wants to go to a school where you may not know everyone, less of a high school type of enviroment, I would say that it is right about in the middle size wise. Also it would be the perfect school for someone who does not necessarily want to be in a city enviroment, but to have easy access to the city.

I like the size of Quinnipiac. It is just large enough that it is not too small, but the small class size and campus are very appealing to me. It also allows for the campus to well maintained since it is so small.

Quinnipiac is the perfect size for me, I always recognize people when I'm walking around, but I'm always seeing new faces, too. There is a really convenient shuttle service that brings students into downtown Hamden about every hour, seven days a week, as well as into New Haven a little less frequently. The area is beautiful, especially in the fall when the leaves change and the spring when everything's blooming. I spend most of my free time hanging out with my friends; in the dorm, or sometimes we go into Hamden to eat or shop.

Our school is a good size with good sized classes. Most people have never heard of Quinnipiac when I tell them where I go to college. I spend most of my time on campus in my dorm and friends' rooms. We really don't have a college town--the nearest one is New Haven by Yale University. The administration is very helpful and kind. The biggest recent controversy was President Lahey censoring media through the school's newspaper and news production groups. There is a decent amount of school pride and nothing very unusual about school. I'll always remember going to hockey games with my friends. Most frequent student complaints are the high prices of food in the cafeteria--you run out of money very fast. Also, there is no place open very late to get food.

Quinnipiac is a picturesque campus, which is often refered to as "Disney World" mostly due to the fact that you will rarely see garbage anywhere and that the campus always looks beautiful. This is one of the major points that attracts many people to Quinnipiac. With such a beautiful campus, its easy to see why people are drawn to such a place. I think our school is the perfect size if you aren't looking to be a number. I like the feeling of walking down dorm road and seeing at least 25 familiar faces; it brings a sense of home at a time when many people can feel homesick.

The best thing about Quinnipiac is the campus community. I love the people that are involved on campus. One thing I would change is the school spirit. There is a lack of school spirit and many times it is difficult to get people to go to events. Perfect size. People know about QU through the polls. I spend most of my time in classes, in the student center, in my room, or in the library. I like the administration here. Biggest controversy was the racial slurs 'nigger' on freshmen dorm rooms. No, not a lot of pride. Most frequent complaints are the lack of parking.

i would definitely tell people to come here but i woudlnt lie to them and tell them that it's diverse or tell them that it's not similar to high school in some ways. you still have the girls who think they are better than you because they have the latest fashions that they display in class. you still have the people who just come to college to party and drink every weekend and barely pass their classes. there are these people everywhere and they'll never change but once you find you niche, you'll be fine. students frequently complain about diversity and that we dont have any. however, i find very few students who arent of color at the black student union events or people who are not in the club, GLASS, at the events. if people are looking for diversity, they actually have to go and LOOK for it. it's not going to come knock at your door, especially in hamden, ct.

It is a great size. However, the rate at which they are accpting new students may be to much for the current size of the campus. It will slowing change, but one day it is going to be known around the country as a great place for higher education.

my schools just right. most people dont know about our school. they said quinni what? people that know the schools are impressed by it.i spend a lot of time in my dorm. theres not a lot of school pride. i feel that a football team would boost that but i know that we cant. the only thing i could think to complain about right now is that the administration is not student friendly.

i love the campus. the attmosphere. it's a small school, but is a great size. you don't feel lost or like you're just another student number. you're a person. the town isn't really a college town, but the next one over is, so we get both worlds. parking is an issue. and lots of people complain about admin.

I would like a college town and a football team

There should be more local bars in walking distance of QU. The size of QU is just right. People from my town don't know that QU exists. We really need a football team to bolster school pride.

I love going to school here at Quinnipiac. The campus is gorgeous and there is always something to do. For me it is really close to home and for going out purposes its right next to New Haven which has a good night life. Education here is very good and I'm in the PA program which is ranked best in the state.

the best thing about quinnipiac are the people i have met and friends that i have made
