GEEZ. I came to Duquesne from the West Coast. I love the school. I love the city. I've gotten a fabulous education. I've already landed (with Duquesne's help) an outstanding job in New York City that begins this June. I've made friends for life. I survived the cafeteria food, and I came out of the dorms none the worse for wear! I NEVER ONCE felt unsafe while on Duquesne's campus. I even love the "quaintness" of Rooney Field where the Duquesne football, soccer, and lacrosse teams play. (Yes, I saw many of the games there.) I've spoken to my friends who stayed near home to attend school. They all envy me and my experiences at Duquesne! Every college has cliques. Every college has tiny dorm rooms. Every college student complains about the food. Every college has some lousy professors. That's life. GET OVER IT, PEOPLE! I do not regret one single minute of my time at Duquesne, and I will miss it when I leave. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: B- Have a Question?

Nope! High school was much harder, and my high school was nothing special. With the exception of a handful of really smart students who hang out in the labs, the students here are lazy and honestly not that bright. Friend from high school who went to other colleges tell me about their classes and they are WAY ahead of what is taught here. And their textbooks are real college textbooks, whereas the textbooks for most of my classes are on the same level as my high school textbooks. If you are thinking of coming here, then you should attend at least two classes here and attend some classes at other universities so that you will see just how dumbed-down this place is.

I had to transfer to another university. i talked with them a lot to help me to transfer to school of business although i was really a good student and i had no absences,but they are really not helpful people.

Duquesne offered me a financial package that was too hard to turn down. When an offer sounds too good to be true -- well, I should have known that something was up. Yes, they came through with the money, but the education is another story. Quality of education at Duquesne is mediocre, at best. I honestly can't think of anything that was taught in my freshman classes that I hadn't already learned at my rather ordinary high school. While some of my classmates were obviously quite smart, it was clear that most were weak students who made it to Duquesne only because they received lots of personal tutoring along the way. Many students talk about "their tutor" and how they have to "meet with a professor" every week for extra help. I'm not entirely negative on Duquesne. Most of the professors seem to want to see students succeed, and most grade VERY leniently so its almost impossible to fail here. However, the lenient grading will eventually come back to haunt the school, as employers will realize that the "talent" that they are buying isn't really so talented after all. Anyway, after three semesters at Duquesne, I transferred to Pitt, which is an entirely different world from Duquesne in terms of academics and commitment by the students.
