Quinnipiac University Top Questions

Athletic events get the most fans, especially hockey. Any other on campus events: guest speakers or theater programs are usually only attended by students who have a relative assignment. My dorm is open, the doors are always open, and people are walking around (or even sitting in) the hallway or study lounge. Greek life is here, but not huge. They do a lot on campus, but they don't have a strong influence over social activities.

Most popular organizations-Greek life, athletics. I'm involved in Greek life, and I love every second of it. Everyone is so friendly and enjoys the bond that we all share. Most friendly and open students leave their doors open. Hockey games are very popular, but guest speakers and theater may not be so popular. The dating scene is small, as most of the girls have boyfriends from home or do not want to have a relationship and there is only a small amount of guys. I met my closest friends freshman year through living close to them. If i'm awake at 2am on Tues, I'm studying. People party usually Thursday-Saturday with an occasional Tuesday or other weeknight thrown in. Fraternities/Sororities are very important to me. Last weekend, i studied. Study on weekend nights :(. Off campus I see senior friends, sometimes go to house parties and go shopping and out to eat.

Greek Life/SGA/SPB/Orientation Leaders- N/A- yes- popular/not popular/semi popular- N/A- Greek life- hanging out with friends or doing work- greek week, spirit week, alumni carnival- OFTEN almost every day- depends how involved you want to be in them- went to bars in New Haven and parties on campus- SPB creates non drinking events for weekends- eat, drink, movies, shop, etc.

My personal favorite activity on campus is the student run radio station, WQAQ. As mentioned before, I'm more into music than anything, so for me it was a natural fit. The kids at WQAQ are very warm and accepting to anyone they can have a friendly conversation with, and the organization itself is a lot of fun. Students can have their own radio show as early as their first semester on campus, and the station is almost always open to hang out in. I'd say I spend more time in the radio station than I do in my actual room. There's always someone around and those who put forth the effort to come to meetings and show up and hang out are actually recognized and accepted by the upperclassmen. It's more of a family than anything, and I'm really proud to be a part of it. As for other activities...there's a saying that "you can't spell liquor without QU." I'll let that speak for itself. On weekends there's always parties, but they're pretty avoidable. If you don't feel like drinking, there's usually events put on by the Student Programming Board, including playing movies in Buckman Theater that usually aren't out on DVD yet and guest entertainers. There's also 3 concerts put on each year: 2 by SPB, and one by WQAQ. This year we had Cartel and the Starting Line in the fall; Jack's Mannequin, T-Pain, and Zox in the Spring; and coming up we have Minus the Bear, Kevin Devine, and Paulson. The last of the three is being put on by WQAQ, and each year they hold a Battle of the Bands, the winner of which gets to open up the show. Every Thursday night there's also an Open Mic in the Bobcat Den cafeteria, and sometimes student bands will perform full electric sets. This year there's also a Musician's club being put together to give student bands even more opportunities to perform as well as the equipment to do it with.

If you're not a fan of the bar or club scene on the weekends, the school is not for you.

the most popular organizations on campus is definitely greek life. alot of people involved in greek life are also RAs, tour guides and members of honor societies contour to thier major. a group i am involved with is my sorority. its made me push myself academically and has definitely opened many doors for me in means of leadership. athletic events are only popular if its a hockey game, and even more popular if we are playing an ivy game. speakers are almost never popular, the only time i ever saw alot of interest in one was when president carter came to speak. i met my closest friends through either my sorority or i roomed with them. if im awake at 2am on a tuesday--im either doing hw or procrastiating doing my homework in my dorm room. traditions in this school that ive been exposed to are may weekend and the spring concert. within my organization, is greek week. people party alot on this campus on the weekends, but i think the majority of students take thier schoolwork seriously enough where they wont go out if they have a huge test or something of that nature. greek life is getting bigger on this campus, and its definitely being noticed by alot more people, especially the administration. if your not going to drink, there are events and movies to go do that are set up by the programming board. off campus..ill usually go out to eat, shopping or if its a weekend, ill go into new haven.

Community Action Project, Crazy Bobcats, sororities and fraternities. Syudent Programming Board, QU After Dark Doors are mainly closed. Hockey games are popular, other sports are not. People don't go to guest speakers unless required for a class, for the most part.

Mens hockey games!!!!! They are a must. QU is very close to many other colleges (Yale, Albertus Magnus, SCSU, Sacred Heart ect..) and when you go into New Haven you can find many students from all schools there. There are def places to go and party or you can stay on campus. Most RA's are not strict with music and they know when you're partying..but if they don't see anything or it's not quiet hours you prob won't get into trouble.

Greek life is popular and is on the rise. I myself am in a greek organization. Students in the dorms leave their doors open all the time. Hockey and basketball are huge here, especially with the new arena. It's ridiculous that May Weekend has been canceled. There are people partying every night of the week. It's your choice whether to participate or not.
