Fairfield University is a private Jesuit institution less than two miles inland from the Atlantic coast. Established in 1942, the campus blends modern architecture with more traditional designs reminiscent of the classic colleges in the surrounding area. Academically, Fairfield is best known for its nursing and accounting programs as well as its heavy emphasis on service. Although one of the younger institutions in New England, Fairfield has earned distinction as one of the top overall universities in the region, as well as one of the best universities for veterans. Between the Quick Center for the Arts, the Fairfield University Art Museum, and Theatre Fairfield, the university is arguably the cultural hub of the entire community. The town of Fairfield is an idyllic community of around 60,000 people, frequently appearing on lists of the best places to live in America. Exhibiting more New England charm than a college town vibe, Fairfield’s Downtown area is only a few blocks south of the University, with most of the major shopping, dining, and entertainment hotspots clustered along Post Road. New York City is only an hour away by train, making it easy to spend a day exploring America’s biggest metropolis anytime.
