Located in Fairfield, CT; Fairfield University is one of 28
member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. Founded in 1942, by adjoining the two
contiguous estates of the Brewster Jennings and Walter Lashar families, Fairfield
sits on 200 acres of bucolic fields overlooking the Long Island Sound. With only 3,300 undergrads and 1,300 grad
students on campus, Fairfield’s tuition is higher than average at $41,000; but
they do boast a low student to faculty ratio of 11:1.
Fairfield has acquired the nickname of J. Crew U; due to the
disproportionate amount of disposable income the students tend to spend on clothing. The typical Fairfield undergrad stereotype is
white, upper middle class, spoiled and sheltered.
Students who applied to Fairfield University, also looked at Boston College, Connecticut College, and Sacred Heart University.
