Question

[x3unreachablex3]

I'm currently a senior in high school, and am trying to decide what college to go to. Quinnipiac has been my top choice for quite awhile. What I was wondering, though, was how my experience on Quinnipiac would be if I lived off campus? I can't dorm for various reasons, but I'm concerned that if I don't, I'm not going to have many friends or much of

I just graduated from QU last May and I was a 'commuter' all four years (I lived in Hamden). I was nervous about not having any friends when I started college, however I quickly learned that there are an abundance of things to do on campus to get involved and meet new people. Although the choice may not be right for everyone, I decided to rush a Greek organization to meet new people. I ultimately ended up leaving for various reasons, but I met some awesome people while I was in the organization. My philosophy is that if you put yourself out there, you'll make friends.

Another way to meet new people is to talk to the people in your classes (novel idea, I know!). Talk to the people who sit next to you, form study groups. YOur classes your first two semesters will be comprised of mainly freshmen -- people who are looking to make friends, just like you.

Also, a good way to meet people is through your major. I met some of my best friends at QU through my major. You didn't disclose what you would be studying at QU, however, I found that alot of the Liberal Arts programs were comprised of a small group of people and therefore were very close.

I hope I helped ease your anxiety a bit.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask ;)

This girl's dead on - whether you rush, do the school paper, radio station or whatever you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet people. In fact, the person who's most infamous in our class for knowing everyone was a commuter up until this semester.
