Review of Quinnipiac University

from Wallingford, CT

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

While at Quinnipiac University the students realize that the professors are passionate about what they are teaching. While exuding their passion of the subject they are teaching, the professors make it easier for the students to learn the material, as well as facilitate the learning process. Quinnipiac aims to help students learn subject matter, but also to aid them in their own discovery of themselves as an individual. In doing so, Quinnipiac has a structured enough curriculum to keep the students focused within their majors, but also lenient enough to allow the students to identify their own beliefs and principles.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Quinnipiac University provides the perfect college atmosphere. From a social aspect, all the dorms are close enough together to walk to. The farthest walk from dorm to dorm at most is about 10 minutes on campus. The newer dorms at York Hill called New Village have shuttles that run to and from the main campus. Therefore every student on campus has means of easy transportation all over campus and even to the extended campus. In addition, Quinnipiac provides a great shuttle service that brings students to and from Hamden and New Haven, nearby cities. In Hamden there are many clothing stores and food markets that make it easier for students living far away from home. In new haven there are the same commodities as in Hamden however there are also more clubs and restaurants, as well as a movie theater, all for entertainment. The students have great access to entertainment and social time with their peers. From a more academic aspect the school has an incredible library that provides sufficient means for the students to study and excel in their subjects. It is quiet and peaceful with amply amounts of resources and therefore the perfect place for students to get work done.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Although Quinnipiac University is seen as very expensive, attending here is worth every penny! The quality of the classes at Quinnipiac and the opportunities provided by the school are worth the entirety of the tuition. The classes are rigorous enough to provide substantial education. Also the scholarship, internship, and career opportunities aided by the school are all worth the money spent for attending.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are considering Quinnipiac University first consider the location. It is close enough to a city, New Haven, while being located in its own scenic sect of Hamden. Consider also the professors and classes; the professors care about their students learning, and the classes are interesting enough to keep you intrigued in the class. Also, the school does offer great scholarships. Quinnipiac offers many different academic scholarships. Also Quinnipiac accepts scholarships from many outside sources making it easy for students to find money for school. My biggest tip to prospective students is to apply for scholarships because they make it much easier to pay for the school.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Quinnipiac University is a great school for those who want to be challenged. It is great for those who want a fun, social college experience, but also for those who want the chance to take rigorous classes that will prepare them for their majors and, more importantly, for their later careers.
