Quinnipiac University had many opportunities for me to get involved on campus and find who I am coming in as a freshman. I joined many groups, clubs, and even a sorority, but the best experience I had was through the study abroad program! As a second semester sophomore, I went to Queensland, Australia and found myself. Without the opportunity that Quinnipiac gave me, I would not be where I am today. I would not have changed my major, would not have transferred schools to be where I want to be, and would not have learned that my hobbies such as traveling and adventuring are more than just hobbies to me!
One thing I always loved about Quinnipiac University is the beauty of its campus! It is such a relaxing environment and you never get bored of looking at that view. Quinnipiac was a very convenient choice for me because I was planning on being a commuter and the campus is close to home. In my second year here, I can say with certainty that everyone here is so friendly and always willing to help you. The professors are amazing and they will do everything they can to make sure you are understanding the concepts and succeeding academically. Another interesting thing about Quinnipiac is that it has many clubs and organizations available. In this way, each student can definitely find something that matches their hobbies and interests. And lastly, I am glad I chose Quinnipiac because it offers such an interesting major, which is Behavioral Neuroscience. I recently declared it and I can't wait to explore it further more in the months to come!
Quinnipiac University offers an exceptional educational experience for all involved. The professor/student ratio is low which makes learning much easier. The professors can give individual attention to each student. If you don't understand a particular subject, they are available and willing to help. As an occupational therapy major, the coursework is extremely rigid. The fieldwork and internship opportunities provide insight into the real world of occupational therapy right from the start. In five and a half years, a master's in OT will be awarded. The only downfall with Quinnipiac is the price. It is extremely expensive but hopefully, in the long run, it will be worth it.
