Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students new to Duquesne or western Pennsylvania will soon learn how unpredictable the weather can be in this region. In Pittsburgh, one can look forward to experiencing each season in full force. Most students recommend packing for completely unpredictable weather, not just warm clothes for winter and light clothes for summer. An umbrella will become a precious commodity more than once during the school year.

Fall is generally comfortable in temperature, with a little rain. Come winter, warm clothes become essential to the Duquesne student’s wardrobe. The temperature usually stays below freezing, and students can expect a decent amount of snow. Spring brings rain and tends to vary in temperature somewhere between “late winter” and “early summer.” Students can usually count on hot summers with, of course, rain. A diverse wardrobe is needed—sometimes within the same week.

Pittsburgh Weather Is Bi-Polar

Living in downtown Pittsburgh can be awesome, but the weather on campus sure does put a damper on that. It gets VERY cold, often times with snow and/or rain. And, living high above the city on the bluff makes for very windy conditions, only adding to the nasty winters. They are very good with clearing the sidewalks/walkways early and quickly, so classes don't get cancelled much, only for huge city-wide blizzards. Early fall and late spring are great for hanging out outside when the weather's still warm!

Cold

It's Pittsburgh, a lot of rain and cold and snow. Plus, Duquesne is on a hill so the wind hits you hard. Definitely pack winter clothes and a lot of them. However, when it's nice the campus has beautiful places to just sit in the snow.
