smallest campus ever

I went home this past weekend to pick up my car from the shop and visit with my parents since I won't be back until after finals are over. I came back to school with my 16 year old cousin Andrea who is beginning her college search. She's not unlike me; from a small town and looking to get away from all that she knows. So while keeping in mind that the six hour drive is not one I look forward to every few months, Andrea too is looking to go to school in the New England area. After she spends the next few days with me she's off to Boston to check out Northeastern and Boston University, both of which are schools I applied to and was accepted at.
The tricky part is figuring out what to do with Andrea in the meantime. She's happy to watch me do my homework and tag along to class, but for how long? And lets be honest, our campus really is not that big. Some people might be feeling nostalgic about late nights spent on the quad, or the blustery walk from Mountainview to class, but not me. We walked around campus today - across the quad, into and around the student center and bookstore, walked down dorm road and back up to the library and then to North Lot, all of which took us no more than 45 minutes (including the people we stopped to talk to).
Now really, what am I supposed to be showing off to my cousin?? Here she is looking to see the close knit community feel and instead even she picks up on the northface and uggs stereotype, without one peep out of me. As we walked across the quad and into the student center she wondered allowed about why there weren't many people hanging out and then asked about spirit week. "Is it like high school?" No it's not, barely anyone pays attention. School spirit is pathetic here and even though our hockey team is definitely something to brag about, the turn out is often less than desireable. Needless to say we left campus and I felt a little embarassed. Did I not give a good tour, is it me? or is the Quinnipiac community really as apathetic about everything as I thought? Without expanding how are we supposed to continue to build a community lifestyle that revolves around more than one night of QUAD activities in a weekend? I'm sad because showing potential newbies your school should be exciting and instead I'm happier to show my cousin my apartment than I am to walk around the same campus for a third time tonight.
