Pros are beautiful campus, all housing located on same campus, brand new state of the art nursing and business buildings, building a new sports arena, surrounding area safe with restaurants and shopping, beach just a few miles away, small class sizes, classes taught by professors not TA’s, highly ranked in the New England area, strong career center and alumni network.

Cons are needs more diversity and can be expensive depending on finanacial aid package. Not all freshman dorms had air conditioning added due to covid last summer but may be added this summer.

Thank you for your response! Have you heard of anyone that dislikes the school or loves the school? I know that Fairfield can be super expensive depending on aid! Thank you again!

PRO: You don’t have to worry about being mugged by the locals.

I would say the majority love the school though you will find that a few do not like it and that is probably the case at most colleges. I believe the retention rate from freshman to sophomore year is around 90% so most come back. I can only say to try to find a combination of a school you think you’ll really like and one that won’t put you into serious student loan debt.

That is a good pro hahah

great thank you! that is a great % that comes back!
