Quads on the quad: Quadruplets begin colleges in Connecticut

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Anna Ciacciarella put color-coded tape on all the desk lamps, mattress pads, notebooks and other dorm-room items as she and her three siblings prepared to move from the family home in Naugatuck to Quinnipiac University. ... Her supplies were tagged red, Michael’s blue, Vincent’s yellow, and Sofia’s orange.
Organization is something their parents, Anne and Mike, have become experts at since the four became the first quadruplets born at Yale-New Haven Hospital 18 years ago. Next week, they become the first set to attend classes at Quinnipiac.
“They originally had no intention to go to school together or stay in Connecticut,” Anne Cicciarella said. “But as they were finalizing their decision, they went to an accepted students’ day there, and that changed everything. Two years of tours and visiting changed in the last 19 days of the process.”
About 10 miles (16 kilometers) down Interstate 91, quadruplets Aaron, Nick, Zach and Nigel Wade are preparing to begin their freshman year at Yale. Parents Darrin and Kim Wade drove a stuffed SUV from their home in Liberty Township, Ohio, last week to help move their sons, who had flown to Connecticut the week before.
