College Prowler Take
Overall, most students are proud of the Duquesne campus. The University goes to great lengths to maintain its pleasant landscaping and tidy walkways. It offers some of the only plush, green lawns for miles, and many students take advantage of them during the warmer months for sunbathing or studying. The majority of the buildings are well-maintained and constantly updated throughout the year. The addition of the Power Center a new work-out facility and an in-door track was a much needed up grade. Students enjoy the basketball court, aerobic classes held, and individual TVs on each piece of cardio equipment.The facility has a ballroom where big meetings and events take place. A new, larger gym as well as weight rooms, indoor courts and studios for aerobics classes. Students will undoubtedly want to take advantage of the many events that Duquesne hosts throughout the school year. Popular bands and comedians frequent both the Union and AJ Palumbo Center. There are also some smaller, local musical acts at the Red Ring. Students Speak Out

Do we even have a student center? I guess the Union is one. The NiteSpot has a pool table and games. It’s a pretty cool place. |

The school puts a lot of money into keeping the facilities up-to-date with the latest equipment and such. Students use the gym a lot. We just had new computers put in a few of our computer labs, and they’re improving the network. |

All of the buildings on campus are very nice, and very well kept. We have a lot of activities that take place on campus, too. Famous people come in and talk, such as Harland Williams and Jamie Kennedy. The NiteSpot is a great place to hang out on the weekends, if you have nowhere else to go. There are games, big screen TVs, and free food! |

The school owns the AJ Palumbo Center—they have concerts, sports, and a great exercise facility. It’s always a good time when I am on campus. There are always concerts or something going on—especially when the weather is nice. |
FactsWhat To Do on Campus
Duquesne is host to numerous events that students may find interesting. The NiteSpot is a favorite, featuring fun after-hours activities on weekdays and live entertainment on the weekends. Well-known bands, comedians, and speakers often make their way to the AJ Palumbo Center. With the addition of the restaurant on campus, The Red Ring is host to sports night s that include drink specials, open mic nights, and other entertaining events. Various plays and musicals are performed throughout the year, as well, for those interested in the performing arts. The adventure club hosts trips from skiing to whitewater rafting.
Favorite Things To Do
Students can hang out on Academic Walk in nice weather, or pack into the dining halls in not-so-nice weather. Starbucks in the Union has become a popular area to grab a cappuccino and hang with friends. Gumberg Library is a great spot to "study" with all of your friends during midterms and finals. Don't forget running the South Side Loop, if you are athletically inclined. This is a three-mile course through uptown and the South Side that Duquesne students regularly run, jog, or walk.
