On Friday Nov. 10. a transformer exploded around 7:30 p.m. on Quinnipiac University\u2019s Mount Carmel Campus leaving various power outages. The Outages affected three residence halls.<\/p>\n

-Commons: freshman dorms<\/p>\n

-Hill: sophomore apartments<\/p>\n

-Village: sophomore townhouses<\/p>\n

The biggest concern was how cold it would get at night in the residential halls. Officials set up different sleeping areas in the Carl Hansen Student Center and Burt Kahn Gym. If students had a friend\u2019s house to stay at or lived close enough to campus they were advised to find a place to go to to those places for the remaining time.<\/p>\n

Quinnipiac posted information on the MyQ website and social media pages to update students on where to sleep and how they were working towards getting power back.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sophomore Rachael Pasquarose expressed disappointment in the school’s plan for students affected by the power outage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say they didn\u2019t handle it as well as they could have,\u201d she said. \u201cI felt like there should have been better plans in place and more resources for students who were unable to stay in their dorms instead of having to sleep in the gym.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pasquarose ended up traveling to New York as she couldn’t be in her room in Village.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Friday Night I stayed in Bakke Hall because they had power,\u201d she said. \u201cMy roommates drove to their friends houses who had power and who could fit people in their rooms. By Saturday we still didn\u2019t have power so we ended up driving to New York since we couldn\u2019t be in our room at all.\u201d <\/p>\n
