Quinnipiac University Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Harper

School does what it can to entertain students. Drinking is number one activity here. If you don't drink, I wouldn't recomend coming here. Weekends are party based or clubbing. Social groups especially greek life is hated by the school.

Alexandra

There is always something to do here. Because of this it becomes a motivation to get your homeworl done so you can go out or hang out with friends.

The town of Hamden is not terribly exciting; it consists mainly of strip malls and chain stores. However, the city of New Haven is just a drunken bus ride away.

People tend to stay on campus a lot. Night life in New Haven is a lot of fun with many of the surrounding colleges going there too. Athletic events are pretty popular, but mostly the hockey games are well attended. There are 2 frats and 3 sorrorities on campus. They are popular but by no means take over the campus. It isn't for everyone, so it is completely your chioce. Quinnipiac is not a "party" school per say, but there are a lot of parties that go on Friday nights being that Thursday and Saturday are bar nights.

SPB is HUGE on campus. They plan 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the activities on campus. They do a great job! There is always something going on!

Some athletic events are pretty popular at QU. Our men's hockey and soccer teams are decent competitors, and everyone loves to show school spirit at the basketball games.

People here go out to New Haven every thursday and saturday. Friday is spent in Hamden whether it is at an on campus party, local bar, or house party. Its like a large high school in the respect that the sports teams here are treated like gods. The best way to meet a girl here is to be on a sports team, if youre not its kind of hard but not impossible. If youre not drinking on a saturday night theres nothing to do. There are two frats on campus and there all a bunch of losers for the most part, but they think they run the campus. With the new arena a lot of people go to the basketball and hockey games. Those teams are pretty good.

Patrick

We have a large amount of athletes per student. You seem them everywhere. People are mostly friends with people in their hallway or friends from class, but it's definetly hard to show up to parties and not recognize a lot of the people. It's easy to have friends here and keep them. People party every weekend, and often drink on weekdays. Thursday is a party night, hands down.
