Quinnipiac University Top Questions

What's the best thing about Quinnipiac?: The usually devoted and educationally minded profs willing to encourage those interested (whom are few). and relative small size. Name one thing you'd change - GET MORE PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE NOT FROM NJ, LI, MASS, or NH!! and not such vanilla folk either! How do people react when you tell them you go to Quinnipiac? - amongst adults: "ohhh, thats a good school." amongst college students: "Shit, I went to what the fuck is it called once...irma?" What's your opinion of Quinnipiac's administration? - Student body overreacts to much blundering by the prez. who really is a hilarious, honest guy. What was the biggest recent controversy on campus? - Newspaper privileges, see above.

Meh. Size is fine. Some dorms nice. Others, not so much. New Haven is great but if you don't have a car, you're screwed.

One of the best things about quinnipiac is the small community feel it has to it. i like the size of it and how i can walk to class or lunch or wherever and run into someone i know. it makes me feel like im home. alot of the people act really impressed when i tell them i go to quinnipiac because they know its an academically challenging school. alot of my time is usually spent between my dorm and classrooms. the classrooms can alternate between a meeting or an actual class. for the most part, i do like the administration at quinnipiac. the people i have interacted with are very helpful and friendly. this school has alot of pride when it comes to hockey games and thats about it. one experience about this school that ill always remember is the genuine interaction ive had with my friends and sorority sisters on campus. many of the people here are people i love to be around. the most frequent student complaint is the food, hands down. its not that good at all.

Slightly too large. How people react: Where? Oh, okay. (Nod, like they've heard of it). I spend most of my time in my dorm. Hamden hates us. Controversy: T-Pain escorted off campus by police after spring concert, security mum on details. Once again rated second most apathetic campus. Yale publishes second article in student paper about how we're all a bunch of sluts. Theft in a dorm. Racial slurs on students' white boards. Pride: Only at hockey games.

I like QU. I think the cafe is pretty shitty. I'm not saying the food's bad, it just way too small and the hours aren't long enough. I like the shuttles and the fact that the shuttles are free and do run pretty late. I wish there was on campus parking for soph's and not just parking for us in a secured lot where we can get a shuttle to. Hockey is big here (mens), and are a must for every student. The campus is alwaysssss pretty and clean and sleepy giant is a very nice view.

The campus is great. There's nothing better than throwing around the football on the quad when everyone else is out there. The one thing that I would change is the housing situation. Each year it varies in numbers so you are always picking up/droping room mates. Shit can get ugly. I cam from a small high school and i feel that this school is a little on the small side. It is deinitely a college town, especially with New Haven 10 minutes away. The administration could really give two shits about what the students care about. Once you're in, you're just a number. The most recent controversy was when they administration would not let the news paper print what they wanted. They feared that it would harm the school's reputation. A lot of people complain about the food but it really isn't that bad. I have visited my friends at big state school and those cafeterias make ours look like a 5 star restaurant.

the best thing about quinnipiac is the campus. i would change the dining services it is just right in size people usually ask "quinni-what?" i spend most of my time in my dorm what college town? don't have an opinion of the administration the biggest recent controversy has been racial slurs there is a lot of school pride at hockey games, other than that not really nothing unusual i'll always remember may weekends students complain about financial aid, food

Best thing: setting One thing I'd change: parking lots Most people have never heard of Quinnipiac. There is not a lot of school pride at all. Athletic events are not widely attended.

I think the campus size is perfect since everything is in walking distance. There is room for improvement in some of the courses and especially the food.

1. I wish there was more parking and that the administration wasn't so uptight thinking that all non-athletes are the devil. 2. The school population is just right, but there is not enough housing or parking for the number of students enrolled. 3. They ask "Quinni-what?!" I respond with, "It's by Yale." 4. I spend most of my time in the dorms on campus. 5. The town is somewhat run by the college, economically speaking. Quinnipiac is very secluded so it's kind of a town in itself. 6. I do not like the Quinnipiac Administration. When I first came to school it was fun, then they started making rules like crazy for no reason and taking privileges away for no reason. Quinnipiac is more like a boarding school than a college because you aren't given much leeway with anything. Also, you will never ever ever meet the President; he does not care about getting to know the students. If you want a President who cares about knowing the students try a college like Siena. 7. The biggest recent controversy was the editor in chief misquoting the president in poor taste, or twisting his words. Of course the school tried to do so much damage control to cover the president's butt; it was really absurd. 8. They try to create school pride, but there really is none. It is a HUGE facade. 9. Quinnipiac is the "whitest" school you will ever visit; there is very little racial/ethnic diversity. 10. I will always remember being able to set up the school concerts and how I got to meet a number of celebrities by being involved. 11. Students complain about all of the absurd rules, how the administration is out to get every student (and trust me, I've been on the "inside" and they are out to get everyone), overcrowding in dorms, no parking for students both on and off campus.
