Duquesne University Students
Tell It Like It Is
Choosing a place of residence and learning for the next four years of your life can truly be an exciting, if not occasionally unnerving, task. Students gripe about issues like tuition and parking, but overall, most feel the education and experiences found at Duquesne are worth every penny.
And it doesn’t hurt that the ladies and gentlemen in attendance are pretty darn hot. Rumor has it that Duquesne is ranked number three on Playboy’s list of “Hottest Universities.” The truth of this rumor remains up in the air. However, most students would agree the rumor seems quite believable.
Do you think life on "the Bluff" is for you? Check out what else Duquesne students have to say about their school:
How are classes?
“Professors are great! The classes are all pretty small, so they will know you on a first name basis. Also, they will go out of their way to help you with class work, and even finding internships and jobs. Most are very well connected with companies in Pittsburgh.”
Are you going to be parented?
“As long as you don’t give the police and RAs a hard time, they are decent about drinking. They are definitely strict about the drug end of it—no crack habits are going to make it.”
What’s the big picture?
“Duq is the only school in Pennsylvania that I would attend, and I’m glad I came. The people I have met are awesome, and the school is gorgeous and has an awesome reputation. It’s a little strict on some of the rules because it’s Catholic, but they are easy to get around.”
