Duquesne - Located in the city, but not! You have all of the great aspects of living within Pittsburgh, but yet have the comfort of an amazing campus. Attractions are close and easy to get to, whether it be the movies, shopping, dining, or bar hopping. It's not too big and not too small. It's the perfect mix for someone who does not want to be swallowed in a huge campus, but yet for someone who wants to escape the smaller numbers of high school. Major renovations are being done to make the...

For me, Duquesne is one of the most unique universities. It's medium range regarding size so there are so many activities to do all the time like any other big university, but the majority of classes are very small so you get all of the personal attention that you would want from a smaller school. Also, since it is based in liberal arts, everyone is required to take a certain amount of classes outside of their major. It may sound stupid at first since you don't "need" them for your future...

I love Duquesne and coming here was the best decision I have ever made. My favorite things at Duquesne are the small inner-city campus without the busy city feel. The campus is beautiful with tons of fountains, brick roads and grassy areas for laying out when its warm. I love Pittsburgh too and there are a ton of colleges here as well. University of Pittsburgh and CMU are both about 6 minutes away from Duquesne's campus. Duquesne is located downtown near everything you would need in walking...

The professors are by and large extremely helpful. I enjoyed the small class sizes, as well as the course content. It is extremely cliquey, and it lacks the social atmosphere of a larger school. People think it is ritzy and expensive, and they are correct. School spirit it minimal. I would say students mostly complain about housing and the price of parking. The dorms leave a lot to be desired.

Overall: Being at Duquesne feels like a parent is watching your every move and that if you "step out of line" you won't be supported by the student body. Duquesne administration is too controlling. I feel seriously confined and I feel that my voice is stifled. Every little thing a student, school group, and school organization does must be "OK'd" by Duq staff and admin. Although there are some awesome women and gender studies classes available, I, as a feminist must say that it has been...

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

The school size is nice. You get to know your teachers and they get to know you. It is nice because it is in the city and there are a lot of things to do nearby. The administration sucks. The student accounts office is the worst. They always mess up your account and put holds on your account and they never manage to fix things. There is a lot of school pride mostly because of the frats and sororities.

I don't think many people think about Duquesne because of the other bigger schools around (Pitt) but it is a perfect size, not too big not too small and you have all of Pittsburgh at your hands. There is really no school pride especially when it comes to sports. Even though it is a DI school.

Duquense University is a small campus that is bigger than any high school out there in populous , but is no where close to as big as a Pitt or a Penn State. The size is small enough to run into many people you know on the way to class, but big enough where you do not know everyone who goes to school there. Duquesne sits right next to downtown Pittsburgh. It is a five minute walk to the heart of downtown and a ten minute walk to southside, which is where most of the partying is found. Biggest...

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.
