Duquesne: The Big Picture
I love Duquesne because it is a smaller University. I had a choice to go here or to Pitt Main and I chose Duq because of its size. I like that the classes arent as large as they would be a pitt and everything is closer together. You dont need a shuttle to get to your next class. One class I had only had 8 people in it! I also like it being smaller because it feels more like a community there. I am a commuter and Duquesne really takes care of their commuters. There is a lounge specifically made for commuters. It has a big screen tv and a lot of couches so you can hang out down there in between classes since you dont have a dorm to go to.
Duquesne Academic Life
My major is sociology and i really like it and the teachers in the department. Since the school is smaller the teachers are able to get to know students more and actually know their names and remember them. People are always participating in class too which makes them more interesting. IT is not like highschool where everyone is afraid to speak and you just have to sit and listen to the teacher. The proffesors here like to make class fun and they actually have a lot of interest in what they are teaching and they know what they are talking about. THey are also always there after class to give their students extra help that they need.
