Get ready for something more. I know you’re getting a lot of college brochures in the mail. When I was in high school, I did too. And sometimes, it felt like everyone was saying the same thing. Here’s the thing. Duquesne really is different. And I love it. I want to tell you why Duquesne was the right choice for me. And it might just be the right choice for you, too.
An experience that will define you.
1 this campus
My senior year of high school, I applied to a lot of schools. Nearly a dozen. I wanted to keep my options open. But as soon as I stepped foot on Duquesne’s campus for a tour, my decision was made. I knew this would be my college home. Duquesne is this beautiful campus on a hill, overlooking downtown Pittsburgh, South Side and one of the city’s three rivers. And if you take a five-minute walk down the hill (we call it the Bluff), you’re in the middle of everything the city has to offer.
A location that will inspire you.
