Quinnipiac University Top Questions

This school is going through some serious growing pains at the moment. Students are very apathetic at times and don't get involved in issues such as diversity, etc. The campus is homogenous to say the least and right now the tides are slowly turning so that all students feel comfortable. There is not adequate housing while they are building a second campus for the upperclassmen. It also seems that the focus is mainly on athletics to get better positioning in Division I. There is cliquish behavior and a lack of involvement from many students too.

I am a transfer and they placed me in off campus housing.

Registering for classes as a freshman or sophomore is the most frusterating part of this University. Class registration time is distributed based on credits at the univ. so students with less credits are forced to register later.

The most frustrating thing is walking to class in the winter, because CT can get awfully cold. But it does not get as cold as other Northeastern states.

the housing lottery.

Students want to drink on campus during the weekends and the school is cracking down. It really is sad.

There is a lack of seriousness when it comes to study for most students. many are here simply to go off and get a job after graduating. to an extent, the universities research facilities reflect this. The library is constantly overcrowded with loud people, somewhat understaffed, and has an almost appalingly limited number of books. its major redemption is its electronic resources. Lastly, essentially, if you are not a business or health science major, be prepared to feel exceptionally marginalized. The College of Arts and Science is conveinetly tucked away in the woods.

The people are lame.

The cost of the school is annoying, and the fact that not all teachers use corse textbooks that cost alot.
