Queens is a small school with a huge impact. It may seem surreal when you first step foot on the campus, but believe it or not, everyone here is as nice as they seem. Everyone here is exceptionally understanding and the classes are definitely rigorous.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply early.
If you get the opportunity, attend Scholarship Day.
Visit campus (it makes the difference).
Look for numerous outside scholarships as well, just in case.
Do not think that college will be your time for slacking off, even in the slightest. It's going to be time to step it up.
There is always time for fun though.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are not even the slightest bit easy. This is college after all. Any grade you receive on an assignment is something that you worked for.
A's don't come as easily as you would expect when you were in high school. You'll have to study and get all your work done every night.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I'm in a suite, and it's extremely spacious. There are always things to be done in your dorm, and always people to hang out with. The only thing is that people tend to walk a bit heavily, so you might here that from time to time.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
It could be a lot better.
When it's good, it's really good.
When it's bad, you go to the Lion's Den on campus (for pool, Foosball, and a jukebox) and get some burgers and curly fries.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always something to do on campus. Always an activity, always intramurals and we're located in the city of Charlotte. There are numerous activities in the city to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Queens is extremely pricy, and while the price may be taking out a steep chunk out of your paycheck, it's an exceptional school. The rigor of the classes and the amount of activities they have planned every year leaves no doubt in your mind.
Though in some areas it could be quite a bit better.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We can have hammocks all over campus in the Residential Quad, so if you just feel like having four hammocks between the same two trees, you have the green light.
We are also allowed to go into the fountains here, not just dip a toe or two, but to actually put swim clothes on and stay in the fountain.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
It's actually great for everyone. There is a vast amount of diversity here and no matter what type of person you are, you will most definitely find your niche.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I'm involved in quite a few clubs here and I have to say that there is a club for everyone. If you play sports, but you don't want to join a team, there's intramurals. If you love anime, there's a club for that, to explore the city, there's a club for that. For virtually all your needs there's a club or activity that fits them. If for some reason there isn't, you can quite easily create one.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I am actually in a sorority and it's the best decision I have ever made. If you ever worry about hazing, or if you won't fit in, this is definitely the place to be. There is an exceptionally strict no hazing policy at this school that makes new members feel incredibly safe.
There is also an exceptionally strong Greek community relationship. We speak highly of all our sororities and fraternities and we work to empower each other, and never the other way around.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Our campus is incredibly safe. Not only does Campus Police work around the clock and take their jobs seriously, but our Honor Code is so strict it leaves no doubt about the safety of our school.
We can walk around campus at all hours of the night and not feel scared of what might happen, and if you do feel scared, Campus Police will walk you wherever you need to go. You can even walk the neighborhood by yourself and feel incredibly safe because we are located in one of the richest neighborhoods of Charlotte, and as such, the police department regards the area very carefully.
The honor code allows for you to leave any and all of your possessions in an area and you can come back the next day and still see your items there, or you've gotten a call from campus police saying they have your item.
