There has only been empty land for 6 years now, and for what? This has unfortunately only created more resentment towards the University from its host town...

I also attended Quinnipiac University. Students need a sense of history as do the people of Hamden. Please don't erase our history. Sleeping Giant provides students a plethora of green space and people had to fight once to save that. Thank you.

I am appalled that QU purchased so many buildings over the years a rented them to students, who turned them into frat houses, essentially. "You honk, we drink" signs come to mind. I am certain that it is not the buildings so much as the way those students lived and how they treated the properties that upset the university to such an extend that it so no alternative but to demolish them. I guess the parents of QU students didn't appreciate drunk whiffle ball games and lines of students with beers walking down route 10. These houses are beautiful - several have already been torn down - and should be maintained and respected.
