<p>Hey…I’m a junior in high school and I just visited Quinnipiac today. I loved the campus and I’m interested in the physical therapy program and I was wondering if anyone could answer a couple of my questions.</p>
<li><p>Dorms–how has the triple/quad dorming situation been working out for you? I saw the dorms and they didn’t seem terrible but what do I know, I’ve never lived in a room with three other people.</p></li>
<li><p>Greek life–is it a big part of campus life? I don’t really care either way, I was just wondering.</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t know if this one can be answered–I really want to drop College Spanish next year but will that affect my chances if I don’t go through with four years of foreign language? Is there a language requirement in the Quinnipiac curriculum?</p></li>
<li><p>Any particular likes/dislikes about Quinnipiac?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>These are all probably questions I should have asked the students while I was there, but I didn’t. If anyone can answer any of these questions that would be great!</p>
<p>HEY.....glad to answer your questions. I will be a sophomore this fall, so I can answer just about anything about entering school. Not to mention I was a tour guide as well. :-)</p>

<li><p>At first, it may seem a little overwhelming coming to terms with the fact that you are living with more than one roommate. But once you get to know your roommates, it becomes easier. There is an RA (Resident Advisor) in every hallway that puts on small programs to help unite the people in the hall. Of course since you guys will be living together for months :-). I've gotten to LOVE my roommates. I had the pleasure of living in the quad, so we had lots of space. However, many of my friends lived in triples and said it wasn't so bad. There is less space, but its more cozier (if that's a word). To sum it up, it will be a great experience; one you won't forget, as long as you learn to accept the differences.</p></li>
<li><p>We currently have 3 sororities and 2 fraternities at QU. They are not housed on campus but they are here. Many people do go out for greek life, but it isn't one of the major activities on campus. Our major activity is going to hockey games :-). But greek life is great and it is fun to see them around campus. QU is open to new things, so if there is a sorority/fraternity that is not on campus, that you want...you can bring it to the person in charge to see how we can get them here.</p></li>
<li><p>It will look good to the counsleors if you have 4 years, but I only went through 3. A foreign language is a requirement of QU, up to the 102 level. That is the equivalent of Spanish 2, I believe. I've just completed it. Once you get here, you have to take an entrance exam for placement in languages. No one ever really takes it serious. I've been in spanish (in MS and HS) for years and I placed directly into 102. So I only had to take one class. Its extremely easy, and you'll get an A if you know the basics. Soooo.....if your grades are good, and your SAT scores are good, then I wouldn't worry about Spanish. If not, then 4 years of Spanish could help.</p></li>
<li><p>I love QU. I just wish it didn't cost so much. Its a great campus with exceptional faculty. Professor are great, easy to reach, and always willing to help. The campus is beautiful, and the people are friendly (including me..lol).</p></li>
