Review of Quinnipiac University

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Class sizes are relatively small, which creates a great environment to develop relationships with professors. They get to know students personally, and will do the best they can to help you succeed. Professors also bring experience and knowledge from their fields into the classroom, which makes for a great learning environment.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There is no denying the campus is beautiful, which is a great benefit when you wake up early and look out your window to a view of Sleeping Giant, the mountain located across from campus. If you take advantage of all the activities, organizations, and what the surrounding area of New England has to offer, you can't help but not love it here.

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

Tuition is fairly expensive, but there are great benefits for students because of it. Quinnipiac offers a free shuttle service running from all campus locations into New Haven, a city close by with a great night life, and into the towns of Hamden and North Haven for all your shopping and dining needs. The school also puts on weekly programming events, most of which are free. This includes events with comedians, movies, food, and novelties. There is also housing available from freshman year to senior year, which is rare at many other schools. We have a state-of-the-art athletic facility, and all ice-hockey and basketball games are free to students.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

College is expensive, no matter where you go, so take advantage of any and all scholarship options the school and other organizations have to offer. There are great opportunities at Quinnipiac, socially and academically, for students looking to get a lot out of their college career.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Prospective students looking for a smaller-sized school to give a more personal learning experience. The student population is relatively homogeneous, upper-middle class students from the tri-state area. Faculty, staff, and students are very friendly and do welcome diversity.
