Our Campuses
3 campuses purposefully built for your success
Across our 3 campuses, you will meet other members of our dedicated and caring faculty and staff. You may interact with students, and have an impact on their learning. You'll get to work in our state-of-the-art buildings, and walk around the picturesque grounds, witnessing up close the beauty and charm of southern New England. Each of our campuses has been purposely designed to deliver the quintessential student experience.
The Mount Carmel Campus is home to many of our academic buildings, a student center, a recreation and fields, and first- and second-year student residence halls. The York Hill Campus offers idyllic views of the area, a student center, residence halls and the TD Bank Sports Center, home of the ice hockey and basketball teams. The North Haven Campus, located just 10 minutes from the Hamden campuses, is the heart of study for the Schools of Education, Health Sciences, Law, Medicine and Nursing, with state-of-the-art facilities, equipment and environments purposely designed for collaborative learning.
Our Location
Best of both worlds
Our southern New England location offers the charm and tradition of the region, with easy access to the culture and lifestyle of some of America‘s most interesting and vibrant cities.
Live the New England lifestyle by exploring the many local hiking and biking trails, visiting nearby seaside towns or apple picking at a local orchard. Just across the street from the Mount Carmel Campus is Sleeping Giant State Park, perfect for every ability level.
For a change of pace, we are located only 15 minutes from New Haven, where you will find a city bursting with energy and culture. Or jump on a train headed to New York City or Boston, which are both under 2 hours away.
Culture and nightlife at your doorstep
New Haven combines the colonial tradition of New England with the modern innovations of a major city.
Nature and inspiration within footsteps
Our 3 campuses are situated around several outdoor walking, hiking and biking trails, as well as state and town parks.

Wellness
Wellness matters
Living Well is a university-wide initiative to provide Quinnipiac University faculty and staff with tools, resources and support to achieve their own wellness goals.
The Living Well team is dedicated to educating, motivating and empowering individuals to make healthy lifestyle choices by offering a variety of on-campus wellness events, and maintaining a health and wellness website with health tips and resources for everyday use, including links for fitness classes (free for all faculty and staff), healthy recipes and other helpful resources. Our campuses are also tobacco-free to promote the health and well-being of our students, faculty, staff and visitors.
Employee wellness is an important part of our culture here. In fact, our dedication to a healthy workforce was recently awarded the top recognition by The Business Council of Fairfield County for our understanding of the competitive advantage of a healthy workforce and for offering a diverse range of programs to promote a healthy workplace and assist our employees to live healthier lives.
“Encouraging physical activity, promoting healthy eating choices and managing chronic illness are the cornerstones of success for this year’s honorees. Of interest to our panel of reviewers this year was the number of programs that broadened the definition of wellness to include financial and emotional health.”Anthony AguannoSenior account executive, UnitedHealthcare and co-chair, The Business Council’s Wellness Roundtable
Our vision is to:
- Provide QU faculty and staff with access to wellness resources and programs
- Integrate a wellness philosophy across departments and campuses
- Encourage and reward healthy choices
- Make wellness fun
- Engage faculty and staff in physical activity
- Promote preventive health care
- Empower individuals to take charge of their physical, mental and spiritual health
