Fairfield University Reviews

If you still have doubts about the reliability of this school and its offerings, let me show you some testimonials that will convince you.

“Fairfield has a great sense of community among students. Everyone is friendly, always showing school spirit when wearing Fairfield merchandise, and generally very welcoming. Apart from the fact that I didn’t correspond with the teacher from time to time, I had a great experience in the classroom. Most teachers are helpful, ready to answer questions and are always available during office hours. I found clubs and activities around campus that I’m passionate about, which helped me make even more friends. As for the administration at Fairfield, I can’t say they are great. It appears that students/guardians are getting many different answers from different departments to the same question. Academic advising at Fairfield should be much better than it is now, and registration is a nightmare to solve.” – Sophomore.

“Fairfield is the best place in the world. There’s something about the water that makes it feel like it’s in the right place. A mile from the beach, a train ride from Manhattan, a lively bar scene (no covid), on-site darties and a very representative campus? Sign me up! The business school rises in the ranking every year higher and higher! FORWARD! – Jr.

“I just finished my freshman year at Fairfield and I couldn’t have made a better decision by coming here. I am a nurse and the program has already exceeded my expectations. Fairfield is small, with about 4,000 students holed up in a quiet residential area on the Connecticut coast. A 5 minute walk is a charming town with charming restaurants and a beautiful beach around the corner that you can visit and even live in high school! The campus is great, the class size is perfect (the party scene is obvious but not crazy), and everything about life in Fairfield is incredible. Being a nurse is a tough job. However, the teachers are always available and ready to help you with everything, and there is a genuine sense of community with your fellow students. If you’re considering Fairfield for the next four years, I can’t recommend it more. Not only will you get an excellent education, but you will also find a home, family, and lifelong friends for the next four years. FORCED!! – Freshman.
