Duq is the only school in...

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.

I’ve had a great overall experience. I’ve met a lot of people, most being very nice. I’ve made many good friends here. The people who work here and run the campus are all friendly. Though, at times, I wish I were somewhere else—say, Hawaii!

I am glad that I chose Duquesne,...

I am glad that I chose Duquesne, and I am very satisfied with the education I am receiving. The money you pay for tuition is outrageously high, but it is well worth it. It’s a small campus, so you can leave your room about 5 or 10 minutes before your classes and have plenty of time to spare. I believe Duquesne is preparing me to take the boards and receive my pharmacy degree without a problem. I don’t know what you plan on majoring in, but if it is something to do with health care, Duquesne will prepare you with the proper background.
