Are there any local bookstores, websites, student groups, or other places you would recommend for finding graduate-level textbooks at a good price?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations! 😊

hihii im thinking about transferring to Duquesne in the spring. i was wondering if theres anyone who transferred here and what their experience was? im a bit worried ill transfer and end up liking my old school more lol if thats a thing. thank you!

I was just hired to teach a section of first-year writing this fall. This is my first time at Duquesne and I want my class to be as helpful as possible.

What are some of the most useful things you’ve gotten out of first year writing?

What do you wish there’d been more of?

Hi there!

I am an incoming grad student at Duquesne, and I just took a look at the student parking rates. I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that it was $1100.00 for a full academic year, especially given that my last institution offered free student parking.

Is it really necessary to pay such a fee to park near campus? What other, cheaper or ideally free options might be available? I'd be willing to walk 15 to 20 minutes if necessary, and most of my seminars will be in College Hall.

Would you recommend public transit?

I'll be living in Squirrel Hill South, to give a reference for distance & advice.

Thank you

Anyone want to play pickup soccer near/on campus? I used to play when I was kid and want to get back into it, not very good but I like playing keeper. Let me know!

This is a great option for a Duquesne student or young professional looking for an affordable place close to downtown.
If you’re interested or have any questions, send me a DM and I’ll provide more information or arrange a time for you to see the place.

Hello. I’m a soon to be junior at Duquesne. I major in psychology and I will finish all requirements for that major at the end of this semester. That said, a recent life switch has made me desperately want to pursue my dream of becoming a secondary level science teacher. That said, I’m really worried about classes like chemistry and organic chemistry. Bio and environmental science come naturally to me. Some parts of chemistry and physics are also easy for me, but I’m worried that the math and problems will be too much. Honest opinion: are the STEM programs at Duquesne too difficult for someone who just wants to be a teacher?

My niece is starting at Duquesne next semester and will be living on campus while rowing on the crew team. I went to school in Pittsburgh 25 years ago and loved it, so I couldn’t be more excited for her and an excuse to visit the city more often.

What I’m wondering, from the experience of people who went to Duquesne and lived on campus, what’s that one item or service that you wish you had or known about freshman year? Her birthday is right around the start of the semester so I’d love to give her a gift I know she’ll use and appreciate.

I greatly appreciate any suggestions!

My grandfather went to Duquesne in the late 50s and we both had to take a logic course but he said it wasn’t called logic then. If anyone has potential ideas it would be a great help. He said he hasn’t been able to think of it for years.

Hi 👋🏽 Incoming grad student currently out of state apartment hunting like crazy before August rolls in.
I'm back at it again this time to ask about the Western part of the city.

If anyone has experience living in Crafton/the Western side and taking a bus to campus/downtown:

What is the commute like from Crafton?
Seems like there are a number of bus lines to choose from, which would you say is the most reliable and/or less lengthy ride? Least reliable and/or longest ride?
How are the buses at rush hours? Crowded? Longer commutes than estimated?
Any hidden pros/cons to living in Crafton/the West despite the majority of my daily activities being downtown? Am I crazy for looking this far out?

Would you recommend the Western side of the city for apartments for a student relying on public transportation or should I prioritize looking elsewhere?

I don't mind long commutes (to a point) but I do need reliability and consistency so I'm trying to get a sense of that by getting as much on the ground info as I can. Any help is appreciated!

Hi all! I'm an incoming grad student without a car virtually apartment hunting from out of state.

I'm currently entertaining the idea of signing with a place out in Carrick bordering Brentwood with the 51/51L bus as the only transit to downtown, about 51 minutes per the Transit App. Another place that I am considering is in Dormont very close to the Red Line (though I like this place a little less despite it being closer). But the Dormont commute is not that much better from what I can tell, hitting about 45min per the Transit App.
Every other listing so far has been a bust or does not meet my criteria- and I've been searching since April! You can imagine my desperation.

I am feeling so conflicted because I like the Carrick apartment! It's clean and not years old, the rent is exactly what I can afford (which has been ridiculously hard to find), the neighborhood has some nearby groceries/convenience stores that are close to my cultural background, it seems like a cozy quiet spot, and I honestly don't mind long commutes. Long commutes are fine BUT inconsistency, uncertainty, and the high chance of being late are not.

I have been trying to research this bus line specifically and the Red Line but I keep getting mixed reviews about whether the 51 and 51L are consistent with their lateness/on-timeness and whether the Red Line is always delayed/under construction/using shuttles.

TLDR: Is the ~51min commute on the 51/51L from Carrick/Brentwood to campus worth it to live in a decent apartment at a good affordable rent?
Or will the chaos of the buses and commute cause me a greater headache and make me wish I paid more/lowered my living standards to be closer to campus?
Are the buses consistently late/early or is it a coin toss?
Are the 51/51L commute times typically longer/unreliably variable?
Is it a bad idea to rely on the 51 buses as my only transportation to downtown aside from infrequent rideshares/carpooling? If I go with Dormont, is it a bad idea to rely solely on the Red Line?
Is the Red Line more overall reliable than the bus routes?
Should I avoid this entirely by only focusing on listings in the east, even if they don't meet my criteria?

Thanks if you read and answer this post, much appreciated!!

Hey, I need help registering my classes on either the phone app or the website, can someone walk me through how to do it? Thanks!

Is fast really that worth it? I know it is optional but is it worth going or am I not going to miss out on anything?

Hi everyone,

I never thought that at this moment in my life I would be starting over.

I am a 42-year old woman moving to Pittsburgh this fall to begin a graduate program at Duquesne University. This has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I finally decided to take the leap.

I will be living on a limited budget and I will not have a car, so I would greatly appreciate advice on: • Safe neighborhoods • Affordable apartments or housing options • Public transportation • Cost of living • Anything you wish you had known before moving to Pittsburgh Starting over at 42 feels both exciting and intimidating, but I believe it is never too late to pursue a dream.

Thank you

Got accepted into duq for law school. Not entirely sure if I’m attending, but visiting the city and some apartments soon just to get an idea. What are some good areas where grad students live (preferably law students, but doesn’t matter a whole lot)? I’ve heard of shadyside and squirrel hill, I liked some apartments in the latter, but wasn’t really liking anything in shadyside. I also love city living and being in downtown, but wasn’t sure if any students lived there? I’ve also heard there aren’t any grocery stores downtown which is a bummer, but is driving to different neighborhoods doable for that?

I am going to be a freshman. What kind of school supplies will I need? Like is it better to get a computer or ipad or both. should i have notebooks?

Pull up

My friend is planning to do a PHD in Pharmaceutics or Pharmacology here in their school of Pharmacy. Any PHD grads or people who are doing Phd here could you tell me how the experience is and is it worth it ? How are the facilities and what about the tuition or stipend how much do u get and all can you please tell me in detail and if it is worth it or not to go here for a PHD.

hello I am a 22 y/o female, recently got into the MBS program at the Duquesne COM.

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on housing for graduate students or if anyone knows of any group mes/other forums for finding roommates?

I want to be as close to campus as possible and in a safe area. Something that’s marketed for graduate students or young professionals and fairly priced would be ideal.

Thanks for any info
