Things to Consider

Fairfield University

  • 1 CLIMATE MISMATCH: Only 205 sunny days, cold winters with 25-30 inches snow directly conflicts with 'loves sunshine' preference - this is the primary concern
  • 2 Beach and outdoor activities only viable 3-4 months per year due to Connecticut weather
  • 3 Suburban location requires train/car to reach NYC - not truly urban despite proximity
  • 4 Limited economic diversity (13% Pell Grant) means predominantly wealthy student body
  • 5 High cost of attendance ($70,000+ total) though strong merit scholarships available ($15,000-$30,000)
  • 6 School spirit is moderate rather than exceptional - no football program
