Why QU? Why Not?

When I began looking at Law Schools, Quinnipiac was just another name on my list. So, why did I choose to come here, and why am I so happy that I did?
Like so many students looking for schools, I started with a large list of possibilities. There were some long shots and some safeties, and then there was everything else. Quinnipiac was one little school I didn’t know much about, but the more I learned, the more I liked what I learned. When it came down to the final few, I asked myself, “Why Quinnipiac?” after some thinking, I realized I was asking the wrong question. I should have been asking, “Why not Quinnipiac?”
So, why not Quinnipiac? Sorry guys, but I still don’t have an answer to that question. This little school has everything. The faculty is just as qualified as the faculty at any other school I looked at. The main difference is that they are more accessible. The education is just as good as at any other school I looked at. The main difference is that because of the small class sizes, it was more individualized and interactive. The location is perfect. I won’t go too much into Hamden because there is already so much information on it out there, but let’s just say that there is something for everyone. The students are friendlier and more helpful than anywhere else you’ll find. I’ll guarantee that. However, for me the deciding factor was that Quinnipiac was working harder for me than anywhere else, and here’s why.
Quinnipiac is a school on the move. Every department here is actively working to put the school on the map. If you don’t believe me, just take look at Dean Wilkes’ travel schedule, at Dean Saxton’s weekly planner, or ask Joan Metzler how she still finds time to track me down when my blogs are late. The staff here really puts in 100%, and their efforts show in the results. This was so important to me because I didn’t find it anywhere else. This school wants you to succeed, and they will do whatever it takes to ensure that you do. Quinnipiac works hard for its students and alumni, and in turn, the students and alumni work hard for the school. Everyone knows that at the end of the day, you get out what you put in. It’s evidently clear the school is putting a lot in; it’s also evidently clear they’re getting a lot out. Once I realized this my decision was practically made for me.
