Quinnipiac University Top Questions

I do think that Quinnipiac is not very diverse and that a majority of students look like preppy rich kids who are living on their parents money.

1. Yes. 2. Mostly. 3. Yes, and it is very annoying because it is not an Ivy school and it will never be an Ivy school. 4. Yes, it happens all of the time. 5. Absolutely true, even in serious legal circumstances. 6. Almost. 7. Sometimes it truly seems that way.

While it may be true that there are many people here from a wealthy background there are also a large number who are middle and/or lower class. Once on campus I think it is obvious that most students are not apathetic and a large percentage of the population in involved in numerous groups and programs that include political awareness as well as awareness of world issues.

Yes and No. Yes a lot of wealthy students go here, but a lot are working their way through here out of their own pocket.

To a degree they are. Most people are from long island or jersey or mass, but there are people from other places. Not everyone is stuck up, but that seems to be the sentiment that people carry with them. Our business school is extremely challenging, as are our health science programs. People here have to study hard if they want to do well, but they do enjoy going into New Haven and partying on the weekends.

I think that some of them are. Quinnipiac does seem to be a big party school with a lot of drinking going on but i dont think it is anymore than other universities. Other than that I dont think what is going around is necessarily true.

True, most of Quinnipiac students come from CT, NY, NJ, and MA but only 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the population is female. QU has not been a very diverse campus in the past, but the administration has been making changes and improving the school in this area, so we are primarily white. For the preppy-rich image, most students are stuck somewhere in the middle-class range, and I have never seen anyone walking around in a polo with a sweater tied around their shoulders. And while most students do like to have a good time on the weekend and party we do a great deal of studying and school work.

Looking at the surface level of Quinnipiac, that is mostly what you see, however when you get to learn the student body, you get to see there is more diversity than you think within the students. Although appearances may seem to give a different perspective, after having been at Quinnipiac for four years I have come to find that the students do have diversity in their interests. For the most part most students do come from the New England area and CT, NY, NJ and it is mostly female. However there are alot of females in the schools of Business and Communications as well as male students in the health sciences.

Not all, but some. While there are many rich, white kids, not all of them are snobby. There are many nice people at QU. The stereotypes about girls is somewhat true, because MANY girls as well as guys dress in abercrombie, north face, etc.. and ugg boots can be seen everywhere... I wouldn't go as far to say that they are "easy" or skanks. Its not really fair to compare us to Yale, an Ivy League school, as many people may do.
