B-

Very Very Windy

Duquesne is always at least 10 degrees lower than the rest of the city, because we are on the bluff, right by a river. It's very windy and chilly from September up until mid-April.

Campus Dining at Duquesne University

C+

Food Is Basic

Food isn't top of the line, but it's edible. There are not many options, and things don't change much. After so long, you get tired of everything. Savor the fresh fruit in the dining halls.

Easily Accessible, and Free Printing

If you go to any of the computer labs on campus, you have a 95% chance of finding a free computer, unless it's finals week. Printing is free, and there are occasional issues with the printers, which can happen anywhere.
