Message: [QUOTE="CCSU97, post: 3941596, member: 7844"] I still consider QU an overpriced diploma mill, but you can't argue about their growth and ambitions. They have the polling institute, bought a law school, and expanded its medical programs. Then look at athletics, starting with their facility and ice hockey program. I certainly have no affection for Quinnipiac, but their leadership has done an outstanding job moving them from a safety school for the Boston U. and Northeastern type kids without the academic credentials. They have tried to build themselves in the mold of George Washington University. And Sacred Heart has taken a totally different approach, but with similar success. Now the largest Catholic University in New England behind Boston College, SHU has tried to adopt the student-centered approach. They offer an Ivy-like number of varsity and club sports. They have partnered with companies in Fairfield County and built on its reputation as a solid, private college. The growth and investments in academics and athletic programs is impressive and it is not the same commuter college it was in the 1970s. Hartford ... I have nothing. It never really had much of a academic reputation and while it did start D-I program 2 years before CCSU did in the 1980s, it never had the size or alumni support that Central had even at the D-II level. With tuition almost 3x what it costs to go to CCSU and a name on the diploma that carries no stature anywhere, I don't know how UHa has a 5k enrollment today. [/QUOTE]
