As a freshman guy in Fairfield, I'm considering transferring to a new school. Here is everything you need to knonw about Fairfield.

Food: Barron Campus Center (BCC) literally has the grosest food. They cook two times a day and leave the food out under lights. They cant even cook pasta correctly, its always hard. The Stag - a small food court has a boars head deli which is nice, the sky ranch grill has good food but it has also of greese. The food dosent sit well with the kids here…meaning destruction to the toilets. Also the dining hall closes at 7:30 so enjoy rushing to eat dinner when you want to workout after you 6:00 class.

Party Scene: Bravo was a awesome bar until it got raided. beach cafe is a nice bar but they are VERY strict with ID's down here. Everyone on campus drinks and I occasionally wander up to the townhouses and find my way into a party. The beach is fun if you know people down there. As far as other drug us goes. Kids smoke pot, you have to do it very secretly - public safety is cracking down, due to kids snitching on dealers. But alot of kids look down upon the stoners. Kids are very judgemental here.

People: Fairfield reminds me of highschool. This school is full of clicks. There are the lax bros, hockey kids, baaseball players, pretty snobby girls, guidos, guidettes. I find the people here somewhat unrelateable even though I come from the demographic of my peers. I'm white, upper class, and went to private school. These kids act more rich than they are. Students enclose themselves with 3 or 4 good friends and they wont let anyone in or out.

Public Safety: public safety is on a power trip. They once tried to make a new haven taxi fare of $60 because I swiped my stag card at the university entrance when I was in my friends car. They said that I ditched the cab and their proof was the I swiped to get on to campus at a similar time. Crazy.

Academically: The liberal arts education is a joke. Its overpriced and basically you paying the school to give you B+'s anything below a C is considered "failing" byt the students. The business school, nursing, and enginerring kids always have work but its managable. Teachers are very nice and accomadating to issues. However some teachers cannot even speak english but are so smart. Both my calculus teachers this year have been very qualified and are brillant, but they cant explain the simplest shit even if their life depended upon it. I taught myself math before my final.

Fairfield has a amazing academic reputation, and graduating from here can take you anywhere in life. I dont think this school is good if you want a fun and normall college experience. The university is nestled in a upscale town that dosent want the students here. Parking bans at the beach has calmed down parties, and with the restriction of cars for freshman and sophmores results in a difficult way to get around.

This kid is a fraud. His English grammar is not even 6th grade level.
