What are some stereotypes about Duquesne students?

all students are rich and from the pittsburgh area. People say Duquesne is just out to get money.

Are the stereotypes accurate?

while, most students at Duq. come from wealthier families, most students are from working middle class. Duquesne has students from all over the country but most are local. Duquesne has high tuition because it's a private school, because of this people think the school only wants money.

Duquesne: The Big Picture

alot of students complain about parking. Duq. is an inner city school (although you would never know it because most of the campus is green). But parking is limited and the Duq. police don't hesitate to give out tickets. Duq. is a smaller cozy campus. It's nice to walk down the sidewalk and see so many people you know and recognize.

Duquesne Academic Life

I would say the competetiveness of students depends on the major. Some majors are more difficult than others and require stricter QPA to remain in the program. Obviously, students in these majors are more competetive with one another.

Duquesne's Student Body

Most students dress up for class. I never really did, but alot of the girls will bring their expensive bags, sunglasses, and shoes to class thinking they are in a modeling show. After sophomore year noone seems to care about what they wear anymore.

Duquesne Student Activities + Social Life

Since Duq. is near the city, it's easy to find things to do if you're over 21. You can walk or get a cab for cheap if your planning to go out. The college scene is great and Duq. is near to Pittsburgh University and 2 other colleges all within 15 minutes of each other.

In Closing ...

Duquesne is a nice little school in downtown Pittsburgh. The area surrounding Duquesne is pretty shady, so you shouldn't be walking around much.
