Not Much to Do

There isn't much to do on the Duquesne campus. Most people go to the bars in Southside if they're over 21. Sometimes there are house parties in the Southside but there's much more to do in Oakland or the University of Pittsburgh.

The Study Areas

The study areas at Duquesne are very nice. There are many different rooms within the dorms to do single or group study. We also have quiet floors in our library and group study rooms. The best thing about studying is the wireless internet across campus which makes it easy to take your laptop wherever you go.
