The word from: the Students

Quinnipiac can be a very beautiful sight to the eye. The campus is very appealing and at the background rests the Sleeping Giant Mountain, boasting a very picturesque vista. It can also be proud of a stunning library, in size and beauty. When it comes to academics Quinnipiac holds its undergrad academics in 5 different schools special notice to its School of Health Science with very good majors. One of the good things about Quinnipiac is the size of classes with a bit less than 30 students each. One other positive thing regarding academics is the fact that no class is taught by a teachers assistant, a good thing since this way they always get a much more knowledgeable person to teach them, which makes us go to another point that is the "real world" experience professors have in their respective areas, thet are also very helpful out of class and quite quick to aid whoever asks for they're help.

When it comes to out of classes activities there's an established sort of tradition going on, there are fixed days for specific places and activities, like going to the clubs in New Haven, parties at the campus and going to Toad's, a popular New Haven club.There are no problems regarding transportation as Quinnipiac shuttles take students to the clubs. For the people not into the nightlife clubbing, Quinnipiac has an email newsletter with all sorts of useful information about events such as comedians, movies, game room nights among other things. For fans of nature there's hiking in the trails of the mountains around the university.

On a general look, the student body looks very preppy-looking, with a lot of clean-cut kids around, which gives a general idea of their social-economic background. Moving to intellectual levels, the vast majority isn't the top of class or overachiever, they are however, very hard working. There can be a lack of female representation around campus and there are also very few minorities represented as well. Regardless of the background students at Quinnipiac are friendly and make the university very enjoyable and comfortable to study and live in.
