Super Brilliant
My recommendation would be to join Greek Life. It took me until the end of my sophomore year to realize what I could gain from it. Freshman year was phenomenal, but sophomore year began to get repetitive until I joined. Its as if i know 90% of the people on my campus now and always have an event to show up to. With the majority of these events it promotes a positive environment for the Qu community, faculty and students alike. Now I find myself always looking to go back on breaks from school, scheduling meet-ups with friends from home getting everyone outside of Qu to learn to love it as much as i have.

I graduated from Qunnipiac University in 2006 and consider it to be my biggest regret. The pretty campus draws people in like it did me but there is a lot beneath the surface that is undesiriable for a school. The professors at this school are pretty good, what is really awful is the administration (the president, security, head of student programming, office of student affairs, residential life for example). I felt so BABIED at this school, there are a ridiculous amount of rules, and a very "us versus them" mentality. The school is very new, there are no fun traditions and everything is constantly changing, ususally for the worst. I did make great friends there, but its hard not too when your dorming. All of my friends who have since graduated regret going there. I was told as a senior in High School that this was an "up and coming school". I have come to hate this phrase. The "up and coming" part is at the expense of the students. The Qunnipiac Administrations' number one priority is public relations to improve their image, not the happiness and well-being of the students. My advice is not to go for an up and coming school but one that is aleady "here" or a school that is content with its so-so status but focuses on student needs instead, which is what the school I'm currently attending law school does, Western New England College. I live on campus here and I can't believe how much better the quality of life is for the undergrads when compared to Qunnipiac. I saw one student point out that the campus is still dead at night, no frat houses, no sports houses, no on campus or walking distance bar. I feel like I didn't get a genuine college experiance,this again goes back to Qunnipiac being a relatively new school with a new campus. Quinnipiac comes off nice at the surface but once I went here I realized what a grave mistake I made, don't go here and if you do- Transfer as soon as you can.

I feel from the type of situations I have seen and experienced, ether you love it here or you hate it. I feel you have to be a strong person to go here and have a lot of confidence. The school is extremely safe feeling and beautiful, but I feel many people get caught up in its beauty when looking at schools that they miss the boat about the important stuff. If you've done your research and really like QU, you most likely will like it when you get here.
