A little word of increasing diveristy on this campus..

The answer is very simple. Unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve. Why? Because this campus happens to be placed on one of the richest counties in the United States. Growing up in Greenwich, CT, I know what it’s like to be right smack in the middle of money. Although I never had any of it, I got a good taste of what it was like to live rich.
Fairfield U. reminds me of my high school so much. The joke would go around that the students would drive better cars than the teachers. It was just the way it was. Still the same today. A majority of the students at GHS was white, 90%. The same proportion holds true for FU. If not more.
Being that this is a catholic university, a community of open arms, you would think that we would make it accesable to all people. The cost of tution dosen’t allow all people to attend here. It’s a sad feeling to see teenagaers working at the Calf when they could be you or me attending classes. If we were a true Catholic University, we would find a way to accept more people from poorer communities to attend this great school. A good first step would to get kids from Brigeport to actually attend classes here. Not just have a hang out on Friday nights in the BCC.
