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.
