Duquesne is a pretty school in a scenic area—and that's where the thin facade ends. 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.
