Quinnipiac University Top Questions

THIS IS A BAR SCHOOL. The campus is dead Thursdays and Saturdays because everyone is in New Haven. Fridays are the only chance for some on-campus rages.

i play ice hockey at quinnipiac. athletic events are usually popular. many people attend the boys hockey games.

the clubs do a really good job with arranging trips for thr weekends and activities at night

The university sponsors a lot of activities, but not a lot of people go to them. They have a lot of anti alcohol programs on the weekend, but the kids drink instead of going to them. Drinking is a part of just about every college campus, and there is no different at Quinnipiac. Many of the kids here are sheltered and dont know how to drink responsibly. the freshman dont know their limit before college, and get taken to the hospital more often than they should.

i am a brother of Tau Kappa Epsilon and there is one other fraternity on campus (sigma phi epsilon) and 3 sororities (alpha chi omega, phi sigma sigma, and kappa alpha theta). greek life is not huge here. all of my roommates do not like greek life and have a great social life outside of it. i like to bounce back and forth between greek like and my outside friends. since the greek system is so small you sometimes just keep seeing the same people. you will make a lot of great friends joining which ever one you choose. there is also always something going on during the weekends. always a great party to go to and tons of stuff going on. new haven is fun on thursday and saturday nights. usually its hula hanks on thursday, campus drinking friday, toads on saturday.

As a grad student I don't really socialize much. However, I am always invited to various events. At least 3-4 per month so there are plently of opportunities.

Most popular groups are sports teams...Greek Life is not very big here, because of the ban on Frat and Soroity houses. Yes students leave their doors open. Athletic events are popular, however, males sports are more popular. Guest speakers tend to make out pretty well. Theatre? no idea. Closest friends through soccer, and rooming with them from freshman year. May weekend got cancelleddd!!! Cinco de mayo is big,

to be honest, a lot of the social scene on the weekends is off campus, but you can always find something to do on campus too

Some of the popular organizations at Quinnipiac are the film society, student government, and the student programming board. I'm involved with the student programming board that sets up events on the weekend that give people the option to do something fun without drinking such as movies, carnivals, or trips to Six Flags and white water rafting. Students in dorms do leave their doors open so walking in a hallway you can just go into any room an hang out. The first week of classes students just walk to each room and intoduce themselves, it's a great way to make friends! A lot of your closest friends are the people you are living with or that live in your hallway because you are with them all the time, but I have also met a lot of my closest friends from my classes and from parties. If I'm up at 2 am on a tuesday I'm probably either studying for a test or just on facebook talking to friends from home. People party a lot here so there is something always going on. Every thursday friday and saturday you there is a guarantee that a party is taking place on campus. Last weekend was the last weekend for people to party before studying for finals so I of course hung out with all my friends and had a great time. Theres a lot of things off campus to do. We are 20 minutes away from New Haven so you can go shopping there and go out for dinner and at night go to all the clubs there for college students.

Thursday night is club night. All the girls wear the sluttiest outfits possible and participate in underage drinking on and off campus. It is ridiculous. However not every girl is like this. The guys love when the girls get dressed up and get drunk because then they have a better chance of sleeping with them. Im involved with Q30 which is a great organization. I get a large amount of on hands experience and I have met many wonderful people through the show. It is awesommeeee.
