I'm
a first semester freshman at Duquesne, and I'm transferring out
after this semester. I picked Duquesne so I would
be closer to home, but I realize now that that
was a huge mistake. The campus is nice to
look at, but that's really the only good thing about
it. Duquesne's College of Liberal Arts is middle-of-the-road at
best, and the facilities, though they are not bad, are
definitely not as good compared to other local schools that
ask for far less money for students to go there.
I have had some pretty nice professors, but even
though they were kind, most of them were altogether useless
and not helpful with classwork. The food is fattening
and greasy and there are not that many healthy options
for students who want to eat a little better than
they used to. The social scene is almost identical
to how it is in high school in that the
school is 99% jocks, cheerleaders, bros, and hoes. Anyone
who doesn't fit into that profile is basically shunned and
winds up alone. The ultra-conservative religious environment does not
help to create the growth-inducing college experience most students look
forward to. Also, 6 credits of theology to graduate
is absolutely useless and complete bullshit. Students are told
to keep their language and actions “Duquesneable” and it's extremely
difficult to hang out with people of the opposite sex
in the dorms. I'm a big writer, and I
have felt absolutely no motivation to do anything creative since
coming to Duquesne, and that horrifies me. So, I
am transferring to a school where I can hopefully grow
more as a writer and as a person. I
will not miss Duquesne, and I would not recommend going
here unless you were popular in high school or are
majoring in business, music, teaching, nursing/pharmacy/pre-med/any other science-related field.
