| International Student Experience | “What drew me to Quinnipiac was its vibrant and multicultural community, which acted like a powerful magnet, pulling me in. The prospect of being part of a campus where people from various backgrounds come together was extremely appealing. Plus, the proximity to the bustling city of New York was an added bonus.” Patryk Smyk, Class of ‘25, Mazovia, Poland Learn More
