WHAT I LIKED

Fairfield University offers courses with professors that care for and help all students. Students are given many ways to communicate with professors for help, and professors are more than willing to help. Aside from that, the business building is amazing. It offers students the chance to get a feel of what it is to be in the world of business.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

I commute to Fairfield, so I don't get the same experience as the students who stay there at all times. From my experience all the facilities are great and there are multiple recourses available to students who need any type of help.

WHAT I LIKED

The school overall is pretty good. I unfortunately have faced social issues as I have been placed with not great roommates and my friends have had drama. My major is also pretty hard and not exactly what I want.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

I did not like the food, how past roommates treated me and how it was handled, parties and the social scene, my major, and the study abroad options for bio majors.
