Choosing the right college is stressful for everybody; it’s a vicious cycle of loving a school one day and feeling unsure about it the next. Are you tangled up in this nasty cycle with Fairfield University? If you are, it ends here. This list will make you absolutely sure that Fairfield is NOT the school for you!
1. People definitely don’t have fun at the beach a mile down the road from campus. Honestly, nobody likes spending their Saturdays by the water with all of their friends.
2. Oh, another thing about the beach, it’s not even pretty to look at.
3. The town of Fairfield has absolutely nowhere delicious to eat. Pizza? Burgers? Salads? Deli Sandwiches? Ew.
4. Not only are there no food options in town, downtown Fairfield isn’t even cute, quaint, or charming.
5. As for the school itself, why would anyone want to go to a school that isn’t even pretty? Huge fields of perfectly green grass are not attractive.
6. If you thought the campus was ugly, just wait until you see The Bellarmine Museum of Art, especially in the winter. Gross.
7. And the dorms, oh boy. If you want a room that doesn’t look like a hole in the ground, steer clear of Fairfield’s freshmen housing.
8. Seriously, come on. Lacrosse games in Rafferty Stadium? No college student wants to watch their friends play lacrosse in a state of the art stadium.
9. For all of you gym rats, fitness is basically nonexistent here. Come August 2016, Fairfield will have the worst gym ever after it’s massive renovation.
10. Any potential business majors? Stay away from the Charles F. Dolan School of Business. It was obviously a typo when Bloomberg Businessweek named it one of the top 100 undergrad business schools in the nation.
11. Don’t even get me started on the nursing program. You’re not going to learn anything at a nursing program that’s ranked 9th in the country.
12. Our school mascot is so unoriginal too. Seriously? A stag? That’s basically every schools mascot.
13. If you think Lucas The Stag is unoriginal, how about the huge statue of a stag in the middle of the quad? GROSS.
14. The president of the school is even more lame than our mascot, believe it or not. Being in our Who’s That Fairfield Girl YouTube video? Be a little more lame, President von Arx.
15. Here comes the weekend, and by that, I mean here comes having absolutely nowhere to go for fun. Is there anything worse than our convenient location to New York City?
16. We all know school colors need to be colors you’ll actually wear. So obviously red and black are way too crazy.
17. Most importantly, people want to go to a school that makes them feel comfortable the second they arrive. Fairfield’s main entrance makes people feel the complete opposite.
So, now you can take Fairfield University off your list of college candidates!
