UConn vs Quinnipiac

So I’m going into Accounting and I have been accepted to both schools. I’m from Connecticut so I’m pretty familiar with the area around these two schools and I’ve been on both campuses. Paying for both colleges isn’t a problem so the problem lies with campus life and, to be perfectly honest, the type of people that attend the school.

From what I’ve heard, I get the impression that Quinnipiac is basically full of rich white kids who are the equivalent to the “popular” kids in high school who enjoy partying a lot more than the next college student and don’t put education in their top 10. As a minority (and a minority among minorities at Quinnipiac) and an “average” Connecticut girl, I feel pretty intimidated because I know for a fact that I don’t mingle well with those type of people. I am a person who focuses on studying 70% of the time but I am open to hanging out and dating. I’m not a big sports person but I will probably go to a sports event if someone really wanted me to.

So I want to know if this perception of Quinnipiac’s students holds true or if I’m describing only part of the student body. And which school is the better option in terms of campus life.

And please no arguments or straight up trash talk because you dislike one or both schools. Simple, civilized opinions are all that matter. Thank you for taking the time to read this!
