College should be more than just a means to an end. It should be an intellectual journey that profoundly changes you - offering a deep academic experience that goes beyond the classroom and the Commencement stage. But then again, not every school can be like Fairfield University.

The moment you arrive on campus, you'll find that we're much more than a university. We're 200 acres of inspiration - an idyllic haven along Connecticut's southern coast that's committed to cultivating mind, body, and spirit through an active student body and a 500-year-old Jesuit tradition.
