Quinnipiac University Top Questions

We have a couple programming boards here who do a lot of events, but most people irnore them unless they're really good ones. We go off campus for things like white water rafting, dicount trips to the city, all kinds of stuff. We have a lot of organizations here. The first week of school all the frosh are required to go to an involvement fair to sign up to be a part of clubs. People are really social here and will usually be really nice if you strike up a conversation. A typical weekend would be a party on Friday night after a hockey game and Toad's on a Saturday night. My best friends here are my hallmates and one of my roommates.

If your a straight-edge person who isn't into a party scene, I wouldn't suggest QU cause its a big party scene.

I lived on campus from freshman to junior year, which is what the majority of students do. There are shuttles that provide transportation daily to Hamden and New Haven. Freshmen are not allowed to have cars, therefore these shuttles are essential in getting to local grocery stores/walmart to pick up anything you may need. They are usually efficient, however do take up a lot of your time because they are on a schedule in hour to hour and a hlaf blocks between campus and the centers. There are many clothing stores within the plazas the shuttle can take you to, including GAP, Old Navy, Nine west, Bon Ton, Models sports, TJ Maxx, etc. Many students also take shuttles into New Haven on the Thursday nights and weekends to go to clubs. As a sophomore you are allowed to have your car at school, however it is parked in one of 2 lots off campus, in which a shuttle will provide transportation to your car daily. That shuttle runs every night until 11pm. The University provides all sorts of programs and late night activities on campus that includes "QUAD" (QU after dark), in which movie nights, game show nights, talent shows, etc. are designed by fellow QU students for all to attend. Annual evnts include Mr. QU, which is a talent/pageant for guys at the school (hysterical), Midnight Madness, and various events different organizations and clubs put on throughout the year that are open to all QU students.

The Quinnipiac social life is the best you can get from intramurals to movies and plays to many clubs and groups.

If you live in the dorms, they have a shuttle that will picky you up from the bars and bring you back to the dorms. I thought this was a nice amenity although I believe it encouraged underage drinking.

Some people party every night, others party Thursday-Saturday. On Saturdays everyone goes to Toads

Lot's of things to get involved with! Radio, TV, honor societies, charitable groups, small greek life, Res. Life, Dance Company, Cheerleading, Hip Hop and step groups, business groups, alternative spring break trips, etc. Athletic events at TD Bank North are popular but they give away too many seats to non-students. Lot's of great guest speakers. Dating scene sucks.

Sports are a huge part of the Quinnipiac culture.

SPB and QU After Dark plan the events on campus for nights and weekends. They do a great job and even though the night life is great in New Haven, it is not necessary to go off campus to have fun.

I have no knowledge of campus groups. I am involved in none. I don't go in dorms so I can't say anything about doors. I don't pay attention to events. The sports one are supposedly popular. I have no knowledge of the dating scene. Don't really have friends on campus. I am home on Tuesdays a 2am. I would be in my room. I don't pay attention to traditions. People party constantly. Fraternities and sororities aren't really all that important. I forgot all about them till you mentioned it. People tend to hate frats though. Last weekend, I worked and stayed home. I don't know what campus is like on Saturday night. Off campus, I work and live. And course work. That's really it.
