Duquesne University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Duquesne University accurate?

Natalie

No, many of the athletes are on scholarship and alot of my friends get their tuition paid for if their family member works for Duquesne or a connecting branch of Duquesne.

Lindsay

none of these are true.

Ashley

there are many pretty girls and many students with wealthy families, but there are also many that don't fall into these categories...

Courtney

Somewhat, i have met many people that are like this but also many people are very nice and would help you with anything.

Andrea

These stereotypes are inaccurate for the most part. A majority of the students are not like that, but there are some that are. It is like that with any stereotype of any group of people.

Brian

The student population does tend to be leaning toward the higher end of the economy, however I do not feel that the majority of those individuals are cocky about it. I think the girls are extremely attractive. Our basketball team is up and coming however outside of that there is not much interest in any other sports.

while, most students at Duq. come from wealthier families, most students are from working middle class. Duquesne has students from all over the country but most are local. Duquesne has high tuition because it's a private school, because of this people think the school only wants money.

Amy

Yes for the most part, though there is a very small diversity -- most students at Duquesne are upper middle-class and white, and in fact most shop at JCrew.
