Duquesne University Reviews
Rating 3.55 out of 5 1,498 reviews
I am a junior in Duquesne's nursing program and I cannot say enough good things about this school, at least academic wise. Professors know your name and genuinely want to see you succeed. Classwork is challenging but always helps me learn. Clinicals start early and help you feel confident in your skills by the time you enter your immersion. The campus is beautiful and in an excellent location that has allowed me to work a part-time job since my freshman year even without a car on campus. The food leaves a lot to be desired, which I why I mostly cook for myself now, as do the freshman dorms, but if you can get into Brottier or St. Martin's as an upperclassman, you're set. There are plenty of clubs and organizations on campus that have allowed me to meet friend and even serve in leadership roles. Duquesne is a great choice if you want a mid-sized, urban college where you'll get a great education!
I love Duquesne! Everyone there is nice, the teachers and staff are great people. Even the friends I've made are amazing! The only problem I have is the fact that Duquesne is on a hill. Other than, that it's great. It has its own Starbucks, mini stores, and a whole gym building. Like literally the gym is a multilevel building.
Anyway, Duquesne is also downtown so it's close to food and stores if you're ever living on campus.

Duquesne is a very great university with infinite opportunities for student to be involved in extracurricular activities. I was on the rowing team (Division 1), part of the executive board for The Children's Hospital, part of a great non-profit group where we completed mission trips in Honduras, etc! There are endless opportunities for you to develop yourself as an individual beyond academics. Professors are great and diverse!
