The food here is SO EXPENSIVE. Seriously, I don't want to pay 2.00 for a water. Or $8 for a little pizza. A lot of people run out of money on their meal plan, which is $950 a semester.

Quinnipiac is a great school, but some times it doesn't seem like the real world. It's as if you're living in a bubble.

chicks are hot and a majority

If you're looking for a well rounded college, this is the place for you. If you're looking for a specialized college for something like Health Sciences, Law, or Business, this is the school for you. The school is extremely absorbed in every sport except for football, but maintains their focus on academics. If you're looking for an "artsy" college, stay away.

the cons i would say about qu are that the 60/40 girl to guy ratio is really noticable especially in the health science classes. You do meet guys, but its just a little different than the other majors. Also, we dont have a lot of sororeties and frats on campus because they arent allowed to have houses.

President Leahy should take a more active role in getting to know the student body and should be seen more on campus and at campus activities. He has come to only 2 women's basketball games. It is important he knows the students that go to his university. Our school is growing tremendously and it will take awhile for our school to earn the reputation we deserve. The tuition needs to stop increasing because we are not an ivy league school and we should stop charging so much. It really is turning people away because the cost is just unimaginable. For a school that is not known outside of the New England area, we should not have to pay an ivy league price. I understand the school is growing but more fund raising needs to take place.

We need more housing on campus that does not include the meal plan.

QU is NOT right for everyone. I feel as though you really do need to be a certain type of person to come here. Personally, I'm transferring because most peopel suck and made me feel like shit. Living 3 or 4 people to a room is ridiculous and also adds to the problem. But academically QU is great and the campus is gorgeous.

The campus is beatutiful, the people are nice, teh teachers are great. The administration running the school sucks. Cheap, out for themselves, don't care about students.

the classes are small.

Quinnipiac is the perfect place for a student wanting a college experience without feeling out of their comfort zone. It is a beautiful campus and very easy to get accustomed to living on. There is certainly always something to do, so no one can complain about being bored.

Quinnipiac has a really good hockey team, and the basketball team is getting good too! The dorms are really fun, and QUAfterDark always has some programs going on. If you are not into school sponsored programs, you are only a quick shuttle ride away from the nightlife of New Haven. Greek life isn't huge, but its fun if it is something you want to be involved in!

I think one of the major problems at Quinnipiac is the fact that it is becoming more and more popular and the administration is not dealing with its growth appropriately. This becomes most apparent in student housing on campus. We are promised three years of housing on campus and fourth year you must move off campus. They neglect to tell students that any one of those years you might still have to live off campus in a Quinnipiac house. They provide housing but it is not necessarily on campus. I had many friends who did not receive rooms on campus and they were forced to live off campus in a house Quinnipiac had bought to house students in. It is certainly not the same socially to live off campus, to have to drive to school, buy groceries, make food etc. The school is working on rectifying the situation by building more dorms, but the problem is also with the amount of students they are accepting. The president ensures us he is not trying to make the school any larger but more and more students who are accepted are coming here. They either need to cut down on the number they are accepting, or build alot more dorms. Through my three years on campus I lived in a four person room, a ten person suite and a seven person suite. I'm sorry but that is just too many people in one room! The housing at QU is definitely the biggest problem and that is the one major thing I was upset with over my past four years.

Doors are left open when someone is there. Everyone is looking to make friends and have a fun time!

The typical student attire: Ugg boots and North Face Jackets. You can easily point out the freshman at the beginning of the year because they are the one's spending hours getting ready before class. Students are not total bums (unless its pouring or there is a snowstorm), they enjoy dressing comfortable yet trendy. Most Quinnipiac students are from NJ, NY, Mass, CT, and the other state, "Long Island." Enjoy the Yankee, Red Sox rivalry. The unfortunate side of Quinnipiac is that students are not always politically aware or active in extracurricular activities; many tend spend time in areas relating to their major, but most are too busy studying or working to involve themselves in any other activities.

Class sizes are small which is something that i looked for and considered when applying to college. I didn't want to be "number 312", I wanted them to at least know my name; I got that AND more. My smallest class is my english class with 16 students while my largest class is probably my chemistry class with 27 students. I've never had a class with more than 30. Depending on the professor you might get lucky with barely any work, but all classes here are nothing like high school. Don't expect to write 2 page papers every once in a while. In english I was writing at least a 2 page paper a week, and if i wasn't writing that I was writing a 4-5 page paper. But don't get scared! The professors here are usually more than willing to meet with you outside of class and they are really good with their e-mail so don't be scare to shoot them an e-mail if you have a question about anything. The health science department here is really amazing. They bring a lot of technology and modern ideas to the program, trying to stay as up-to-date as they can. I'm an athletic training/sports medicine major and I took an introduction class into my major and I can't be any more excited otherwise I would be jumping out of my skin. They don't joke around with these programs so definitely expect the unexpected.

After spending I year here I'd say this isn't necessarily true. There is a general look on the weekend when everyone's going to the clubs, but Quinnipiac has a broader range than it's given credit for.

Quinnipiac is a great school for getting one on one with your teachers. Class sizeses are small, which gives allows every student to ask questions, or get extra help out of class. On the down side of having such a small school there is limited things to do on the weekends unless you want to shell out big money in New Haven. On an average weekend I would guess that i spend around 60 to 80 dollars depending if i go out thursday and saturday. When it comes to sports at Quinnipiac we are OK. Hockey is the best of the sports to watch, especially when we play Yale. The most common thing I hear from students that are transfering out of Quinnipiac is not that they didn't like the classes or the schools, it's that they want to go to a bigger college. There are no on campus frats, so if you want keggers get to know a sports team or someone older.
