Quinnipiac Students as Local Neighbors

Quinnipiac strives to develop students to become enlightened citizens who lift communities and embrace inclusive excellence. We invite students to use their unique talents and skills to support the needs of local and global communities. As residents of the Greater Hamden area, our students have a unique opportunity to form bonds and positively impact our neighbors.

Being a good neighbor

Hundreds of our students live in houses and apartments — both Quinnipiac-owned and independent — throughout the Greater Hamden area. As residents of the area, we are all responsible for being good neighbors.
