Parking Is Not the Greatest
C-
It's pretty hard to find a place to park that's free. I believe parking is free on campus on Saturday and Sunday's, but it's so hard to find an empty space. I'm not sure if the garages are open in the evening. There is not that much space to park really anywhere on Duquesne because many people just use transportation. Duquesne is in downtown, so not parking on Duquesne would still be an issue to park off campus. |

I Love Duquesne University!
B+
The campus is a close knitted campus. It's not as big as Carnegie Mellon University, way smaller than University of Pittsburgh. It's very close to Oakland and South Side. There is lots to do off and on campus. Public transportation is not free, which is the downside, except for the bus hired by the school. People are very nice here, there isn't really anyone who is snobby around here. All the buildings are close to one another, so it's not a huge walk. IT'S IN DOWNTOWN, THE CONTROL CENTER OF PITTSBURGH!!! We have the ability to experience the different tastes of living, there is very poor living that's not too far, but there is upscale living as well. It just all depends how far out one travels. It's in a beautiful city. |
