Housing shortage forces dozens of QU freshmen to live in common rooms

Amid a housing shortage spurred on by an unexpected surge in first-year enrollment, more than three dozen of Quinnipiac University’s first-year students are living in converted common areas.

The university repurposed lounge areas in the Commons, Ledges, Dana and Irma residence halls to house students for whom dorms were not immediately available.

The former study spaces, furnished with bunk beds, dressers and desks, can accommodate as many as eight students in certain dorm halls, including Commons. The university also converted lounges into quad-style living spaces in dorm buildings like Irma, which typically only accommodate doubles.

As of Tuesday, John Morgan, associate vice president for public relations, said in a statement to the Chronicle that 41 first-year students were still assigned to live in atypical dorm spaces. This is already a decline from the figures initially reported Sunday by Q30 , and Morgan noted that university officials expect this number to continue to decrease in the coming days.

Accordingly, some students with nontraditional housing assignments received an email last week from the university’s Office of Housing that read, in part:

“At this time, you remain assigned in overflow housing. Please be aware that overflow housing assignments are fluid and your assignment may change as we are able to consolidate spaces. Prior to leaving home on your move in day, please be sure to check MyHousing for any updates to your housing assignment.”

Further details on this apparent space consolidation — including which spaces are being consolidated and why university officials were unable to complete this process prior to first-year move-in — remain unclear. 

Morgan attributed the unusual housing situation to a “highly successful admissions cycle” in the wake of several high-profile events involving Quinnipiac, including the men’s hockey team’s NCAA national championship win in April.

“We’re pleased to be able to keep our students on campus and in residence halls, where they will have a myriad of opportunities to take part in a wide range of immersive activities to help them get acclimated to living on campus,” Morgan wrote.

Quinnipiac is constructing a new 417-bed residence hall on the Mount Carmel Campus as part of its $293 million South Quad project to increase its on-campus housing capacity, but this dorm building is not slated to open for several years .

It is still unknown how many applicants Quinnipiac admitted to the class of 2027 and how many of those admitted students enrolled for the fall semester, though the university is expected to release these figures in the coming weeks.

General Information

Making yourself at home.

Your residence hall is your home during your stay on campus. Quinnipiac supplies your room with a bed, dresser/wardrobe, desk and chair. To make yourself comfortable, you should bring extra-long twin sheets, pillow, curtains, towels, blankets, lamp, light bulbs and, if desired, rugs and extra furnishings. All university-supplied furniture must remain in the living unit. All common building furniture, including lounge, suite and apartment furniture, must remain in the respective common areas.

Most residence areas are equipped with a variety of vending machines (water, juice, soda, candy). Washers and dryers are provided in each residence area. Apartment-style housing units are equipped with kitchens. Study lounges are located in Irma, Dana, the Complex, the Commons, the Ledges, the Crescent, Westview and Eastview.

Eligibility to Reside on Campus 

To be eligible for university housing, individuals must be full-time matriculating students, at least 17 years old, who are in good academic, student conduct and financial standing with the university and have paid their housing reservation fee according to established policies.

Three-Year Housing Requirement and Exception Process

Quinnipiac University wants students to engage in the full experience of living on campus to maximize their personal and professional development. As part of that experience, all full-time undergraduate students enrolling in the fall or spring are required to live in QU housing for their first three years (until the end of their sixth academic semester, not including summer or winter terms).

Registration as a full-time student at the university during any fall or spring academic term constitutes acceptance of the housing requirement and will result in a housing assignment and charge, unless the student has requested and been approved for release from the housing requirement by the Office of Housing.

We want to make a Quinnipiac experience accessible to all students and will be considerate of individual circumstances as it relates to this housing requirement. Requests for release from the housing requirement will be considered in limited circumstances such as the following:

• Students who are married (including civil union or domestic partnership)
• Students who have dependents
• Students who are 24 years of age or older, as of September 1 of the academic year
• Students who are participating in a university-approved academic experience, such as study abroad
• Documented hardship/family health condition
• Students who live within a 25-mile drive of campus at their permanent legal residence (home address) with a parent, legal guardian or sibling or will be living with an immediate family member (parent, grandparent, sibling) who is over the age of 25 at their permanent legal address

Please know, the university reserves unfettered right to make changes to this approach at any time based on world issues. 

Statement of Responsibility

Each student is required to agree to the Quinnipiac University Statement of Responsibility at the time they move into the residence hall. Incorporated into the housing contract, this document explains the expectations and responsibilities of the condition of their living unit.

Residence hall rooms are inspected for damage prior to opening at the beginning of the fall semester. If a student finds damage in the room at opening, the student must contact residence hall staff by the end of the second week of classes. It is the responsibility of the student to report damage in the beginning of the year as well as damage that occurs throughout the year.

Work Request Systems

Quinnipiac students have access to both an online Facilities Work Request System and a Computer Help Desk Work Request System through the MyQ portal. If you experience a problem with your computer, room phone, cable or Internet connection, you should submit a work request through the Computer Help Desk MyQ page and a professional from that department will address your concerns. If you are having a problem with something in your room (i.e., the light bulb has burnt out), you can submit a work request through MyQ. Work requests are handled as quickly as possible, usually within 24–48 hours. The Facilities Work Request form is available under Quick Links on MyQ . Work requests for laundry rooms are submitted directly to the laundry vendor except in certain off-campus properties.

QCard and Key Procedures

Students use their QCard to gain access to their hall and room. Students’ QCards are activated at the start of the academic year and remain active when the residence halls are officially open. Students should be aware that their cards will not be active to access their hall or room during vacation/break periods. If you lose your QCard, you must go to the QCard Office, located at the Technology Services Help Desk in the library, during business hours to obtain a new QCard. Students will be charged the current fee for replacing lost, stolen or damaged cards or keys. Students must carry their QCard with them at all times.

In the event you find yourself locked out of your building or room, contact the Office of Residential Life. After hours, you should contact the RA in central duty on your appropriate campus:

Mount Carmel Campus: 203-582-8622

York Hill Campus: 203-582-8291

Each resident student will be permitted two lockouts per academic year. The Office of Residential Life reserves the right to charge $25 for each additional lockout.

One of the most important experiences you have in college involves your relationship with your roommate(s). Incoming students can select one roommate when signing up for housing or they will be matched with a roommate according to the information provided in a lifestyle survey. Returning sophomores, juniors, and seniors have the opportunity to choose their own roommate(s). All first-year residents will be required to complete a room and/or suite contract within the first three weeks of the fall semester. Successful group living is built upon mutual respect and respect for the rights of the individual. Disruptions among roommates are handled by the residential life staff and may result in student conduct action or a new room assignment. These decisions are made at the discretion of the director of residential life or designee.

Room Selection

Room selection is done through a lottery process in the spring semester (fall semester for rising juniors and seniors). Information and materials regarding this process will be distributed to all resident students in advance. Students participating in the process must have paid their housing reservation fee and complete the housing contract on time to return to the residence halls. Students studying abroad for a semester are eligible to live in housing upon their return. Residential Life cannot hold a room during the fall semester or reserve a space for an entire year.

Room Change Procedure

Students are permitted to change rooms on a space-available basis. Prior to any room changes, students need to meet with their resident assistant and residence hall director. A member of the Residential Life staff will assist with the next appropriate steps. Students will be encouraged to talk to roommates first regarding minor conflicts. The university reserves the right to fill any vacancies that occur in student rooms. Students changing rooms should go to the Office of Residential Life to have their QCard access changed.

Vacant Spaces

Students must ensure that vacant spaces in their assigned room are clean and ready for new residents. Once a student is assigned to a vacancy, they may begin moving within a few hours. It is imperative that available spaces are in move-in condition. Move-in condition means that the furniture is in its original configuration. Available beds, wardrobes, desks and chairs must be free of any belongings, and in suites or apartments, located in their assigned bedrooms.

If a student visits your room or contacts you about moving into a vacancy in your room, it is expected that you will be welcoming and kind. Unless you are assigned to a designated single room, any vacancies can be filled by the Office of Residential Life at any time.

Medical Accommodations

Students who request housing accommodations must complete a housing accommodations form that is available online on MyHousing. Individual student requests will be reviewed by staff members in the Office of Student Accessibility. Questions may be directed to the office at 203-582-7600. New students requesting accommodations must complete paperwork by May 1; returning students need to submit paperwork by March 1.

Residence Area Closing

The residential areas shut down over vacation and recess periods. With the exception of those who are approved to remain on campus, students must vacate the residential areas. All unauthorized students who do not vacate the residential areas by the designated time are subject to immediate removal, possible fine and disciplinary action. The Office of Residential Life reserves the right to charge students who arrive early or stay late during break periods.

• Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump in our nationwide poll tracker

It is the first lead for a Democratic contender since October 2023

Your browser does not support the <audio> element.

T HERE ARE no “quick fixes” in election campaigns. Kamala Harris’s entry into the presidential election puts this conventional wisdom to the test. In two weeks as the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee, the vice-president has broken fundraising records and enthused the Democratic base. Her rise to the nomination has been smooth, although Republican attacks on her have barely begun. Now, with enough polling to see the effect of her candidacy, The Economist has published an updated poll tracker . It shows Ms Harris leading her opponent, Donald Trump , by 47% to 45% in the national popular vote. This is the first lead for the likely Democratic candidate since October 2023.

Along with the new candidate, our tracker has an updated methodology, designed to account for the rapidly shifting race. Support for each candidate changes each day. Each poll is an imperfect estimate of the state of play. We use a Bayesian statistical model to simulate the most likely “true” support for a candidate on each day, taking into account differences in methodology and the partisan tilt of individual polling firms. To reflect election-day dynamics and the importance of turnout in American elections, our tracker puts greater weight on head-to-head polls (which exclude third-party candidates) and those that survey “likely voters” (rather than all registered voters or all adults).

Our tracker relies on polls that included Mr Trump and Joe Biden up until July 21st, when Mr Biden withdrew from the election, then switches to polls that take in Ms Harris. It does not use “hypothetical” polling from before she became the candidate, which can be misleading. Instead, the tracker jumps on July 21st to reflect the new election campaign, but retains useful information about polls from before that date. Polls, after all, do not fall out of a coconut tree.

With all these factors accounted for, we can see how Ms Harris has changed the race. On her first day as a candidate, with the endorsement of Mr Biden, she was tied with Mr Trump on 46%. Since then she has increased her support by a point. This is a substantial improvement over the showing of Mr Biden, who trailed by around three points when he ended his presidential campaign.

Winning the nationwide popular vote may not be enough to win the presidency, though—as Hillary Clinton and Al Gore, former Democratic candidates, can attest. To secure the 270 electoral-college votes needed to win, Ms Harris must win battleground states, such as Pennsylvania and Michigan, which have leaned to the right of the country in recent elections. In 2020, Mr Biden won the popular vote by 4.5 percentage points nationwide, while eking out a win in Wisconsin—which gave him his 270th electoral vote—by only 0.6 percentage points. If Ms Harris faced the same swing-state disadvantage compared with the national vote, a three-point lead nationwide would win her only 247 electoral votes, and would return Mr Trump to the White House.

Polls also come with plenty of uncertainty, especially with three months to go before the election. Most political scientists agree that voters pay little attention to election campaigns until the final stages of the race. Until then, polling will tend to respond to the ebbs and flows of media coverage, before converging on the eventual result as the election approaches. Our presidential-election model, which will be updated shortly to reflect Ms Harris’s candidacy, accounts for this variation to forecast the final result. Our poll tracker is simply our best guess of where Americans stand today. And it shows that Mr Biden’s decision to drop out of the contest has put the election on a knife-edge. ■

Office of Residential Life

Quinnipiac recognizes that learning occurs both in and outside of the classroom. The Office of Residential Life provides rich opportunities that promote student learning and enhance personal development. Students have the unique opportunity to live with students from a variety of diverse backgrounds. The Office of Housing is responsible for housing contracts, room assignments, housing selection processes, occupancy management, break housing, summer housing and the university's 3-year residency requirement.

The Office of Residential Life has two convenient locations for students. The Mount Carmel office is located in the Student Affairs Center on Bobcat Way. The telephone number is 203-582-8666. The York Hill Campus office is located on the fourth floor of the Rocky Top Student Center. The telephone number is 203-582-3615.

The Office of Housing is co-located with Residential Life on the Mount Carmel Campus.   The telephone number is 203-582-8666 and the email address is [email protected]

Graduate housing is available on a limited basis in our university-owned houses and apartments.

Resident assistants serve as paraprofessional staff members in the Office of Residential Life. These 90+ student leaders develop a sense of community among residents and assist students with their personal, interpersonal and academic development.

A residence hall director is a full-time, live-in professional who serves as the supervisor and administrator of a residence hall community. Residence hall directors serve as part of a team that works with specific residence hall populations. Responsibilities include the development and training of resident assistants, coordinating programming to respond to the needs of the student population, crisis management and serving as student conduct officers.

The Residence Hall Association is a body of students composed of elected members from each hall. Its purpose is to develop collective programming experiences and address student concerns in the residence halls.

Financial Matters

Quinnipiac guarantees housing for the first three years of a student’s college experience. Seniors and graduate students are housed on a space-available basis. Housing is guaranteed to two groups of students: incoming students who choose to live on campus at the time of their admission to the university and returning students who pay their housing deposit by the designated deadline. Each year students who wish to live in the residence halls for the following year must pay a non-refundable housing reservation fee by the established deadline. Failure to do so may result in loss of housing privileges. In addition, each student must pay a security deposit when they move onto campus.

Housing contracts are for the full academic year, both fall and spring semesters, and exclude all vacation periods including Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring breaks. Housing and food charges are billed by the semester. Enrolled students may cancel their housing contract for any reason and without paying an additional fee within 30 days of the date the student signs the contract, and no later than August 1 for students who sign their contract after July 1.

Enrolled students who select housing and are registered will be financially responsible if notice of cancellation is not received within 30 days of signing the contract. Students who are removed from the residence halls for disciplinary reasons will remain financially obligated.

This contract and associated financial obligations will terminate automatically in the case of non-enrollment, authorized withdrawal, academic suspension, participation in study abroad or other approved academic experience, and/or graduation.

For further information, refer to the  Withdrawal and Refund Policies  on the university website.

To be eligible for university housing, individuals must be full-time matriculating students, at least 17 years old, who are in good academic, student conduct and financial standing with the university and have paid their housing reservation fee according to established policies.

• Roommates’ Rights —For the purposes of this handbook, a roommate is defined as an individual who resides within the same room, suite, apartment or house. Disruption or interference with a roommate’s right to study, sleep, live in a clean, secure environment and/or have full access to one’s own room is prohibited. Each member living in a particular housing unit is responsible for ensuring that Quinnipiac University policies are followed by all of the residents and their guests and/or visitors.
• Personal Belongings —The university is not responsible for students’ personal belongings. Personal items must be removed when a student moves out of university housing for any reason, including leaves of absence, withdrawal from university housing, withdrawal from the university or at the conclusion of the housing contract term. Items left behind will be discarded.
• Playing Sports —The use of any sporting equipment in the hallways, common areas, individual rooms or courtyards is prohibited.
• Pets, Service and Support Animals —Pets, other than fish contained in a tank no larger than 10 gallons, are prohibited in the residential areas. Students requiring service or emotional support animals must complete the medical accommodation form when applying for housing and submit necessary information to the Office of Student Accessibility. Please refer to the  Animals on Campus Policy  for additional information.
• Health and Safety —Resident students assume responsibility for the use and general care of their living space and its furnishings. Members of the Residential Life staff and Facilities staff inspect all rooms on a regular basis, including during each vacation period, for health, safety, damage, fire code and security reasons. Violations may result in a monetary fine and/or disciplinary action.  Any prohibited items that are found will be confiscated and not returned.
• Maximum Occupancy —The maximum number of people permitted to occupy any individual room, suite or apartment at any one time may not exceed twice the number of residents of that living unit +1, except where designated in certain QU-owned houses.
• Administrative Moves —An administrative move may occur when there is not an immediate resolution in a roommate dispute, there is behavior that is disrupting the room, or a concern is being addressed or is under investigation. The director of residential life or their designee will determine when an administrative move is necessary, how long it will last and how many members of the living unit will be moved.

During the routine inspection, items including but not limited to the following are evaluated:

• pictures, posters and other decorations improperly hung on the walls (only removable adhesive tape should be used)
• damage caused by nails, tacks, pins, screws, masking tape and/or scotch tape
• overloaded wastebaskets
• fire hazards (decorative door items may be placed only on the bulletin board)
• evidence of unauthorized animals
• condition and structure of university furniture
• missing university property
• damage or misuse of fire safety equipment
• evidence of vandalism
• violations of the student code of conduct

If any prohibited item is found in the residence hall/student’s residence hall room, it will be confiscated and discarded. If any approved item (see below) is used NOT  in accordance with  the established criteria, it will be confiscated and discarded. There will be no warnings given or second chances.
