There are many great things about being a Stag. Here are the top eight reasons why you should become one!

1. The education that you will receive from the University, including the School of Nursing and the School of Business, is outstanding. Any job that you will interview for, and say that you graduated from Fairfield, will get you at the top of the list for the position.

2. There is always something to do when the weekend hits, such as events in Southside Café or movie screenings in Gonzaga Auditorium.

3. The Stag Bus can take you to places downtown where you can go shopping or go out to eat.

4. The buildings are fairly closer to each other than other colleges, such as Yale University or the University of Bridgeport.

5. The grass is great for just laying on it and looking up at the sky on a nice, warm day. Unlike Sacred Heart University, where there isn't any grass, the grass is always greener on the other side of Fairfield.

6. The professors are much nicer than how they might appear to be on the syllabus. For freshmen, they get overwhelmed with these syllabi and things that they need for the new school year. Here, our professors provide us with what we need on the first day. They will check up on you if you aren't in class or aren't doing so hot on the quizzes and tests.

7. Our sports teams might not be the best, but we have a great Athletic Center and the Leslie C. Quick, Jr. Recreation Complex, the gym on campus, is also a great way to stay fit or to get into shape.

8. We are always improving our school with all of these construction projects. The School of Nursing and the Oak Room are two spots on campus that are currently being expanded. Next year, the construction will be on the Aloysius P. Kelley Center parking garage.
