Ways to Go, but Headed in the Right Direction
Duquesne University, although still a predominantly white demographic, has students from all over the world and from all walks of life, races, and creeds. The University takes steps to encourage a diverse student population and to allow for diverse groups to have a concrete organization and representation on campus.

Strong Presence With Lots of Events
Duquesne has a strong Greek life presence on campus. Fraternities and sororities live in their own wings in the living learning centers and have their own designated tables in the dining halls. A majority of the social and charitable events that occur on campus are in association with Greek life.

Cryptic and Slow
Having recently had my full scholarship to Duquesne discontinued, I was disappointed with the lack of response and support I received from the financial aid office. Even prior to this, however, interactions with the financial aid office online or over the phone were always lengthy and unhelpful.

The Perfect Balance
Our campus is sequestered on a hill but just minutes away from downtown Pittsburgh and other Pittsburgh neighborhoods brimming with fun things to do and other universities to connect with. Pittsburgh is the perfect balance between a big city and a smal town.

Anything You Could Want
Restaurants of all types are located within an easy walking distance of campus, and many of them offer special deals and discounts for students.

Available but Inconvenient
There are plenty of off-campus housing options to choose from, however, many are not affordable, are of poor quality, or are of a difficult commuting distance
