<p>Does anyone have any insider tips for these two schools? I feel like they are pretty similar and I would like either, but does anyone know any big pros/cons for Stonehill or Fairfield?</p>
<p>I dont think they are all that close. I think Fairfield is more highly thought of, especially in the business world. Fairfield has a ton of graduates in important spots at WallStreet firms, accounting firms, hedge funds and the like. </p>
<p>Fairfield’s proximity to NYC (it’s a commuter town) gives you access for things like internships. The scene on campus and the beach gives Fairfield students a great overall atmosphere for all 4 years.</p>
<p>Add to all of that the recent success of the basketball team, and the probability of continued success going forward given a great hire in a new coach…and I think Fairfield is poised for a new surge upward. Heck…foxsports is even touting Fairfield as a sleeper to make the Final Four next year [Four</a> mid-majors who can crash 2012 Final Four - College Basketball News | FOX Sports on MSN](<a href=“http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebasketball/story/butler-more-mid-majors-can-crash-2012-final-four-040511]Four”>http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebasketball/story/butler-more-mid-majors-can-crash-2012-final-four-040511)</p>
<p>Im guessing its going to be a fun place to be in school.</p>
