What's the most frustrating thing about Duquesne University?

Amanda

They did not like the greek life it seemed very well. As a member of Greek life through both a sorority and a fraternity it seemed as if they saw us as a hazard to the school instead of a way students enagaged in charitable events throughout the academic year and as a means by which to meet not only others at Duquesne but other students in the area that were members of the same Greek organization. It was frustating to be at a constant struggle with the staff regarding activities on campus such as weekly meetings and charity events.

The basketball football team are bullshit but get the most credit. The soccer team is full of douchebags. Baseball doesn't get enough credit. It's too cold

In the program I am in, if you fail just one course in your four years here, you would have to stay an extra semester to complete your degree, since you are required to take a full 18 credits each semester, and they are all required to graduate. Professors are also very selective about who they let through the program; if you don't meet their standards, you won't get through.

The food services are closed at times when I want food.

Amy

The most frustrating thing about Duquesne is the parking situation. It is extremely expensive to get a parking pass. Also, there are not nearly enough parking spots, so even if you paid the extremely high price, you aren't always gaureenteed a spot. I also think it is frustrating that as a liberal arts student you have to take so many university, and liberal arts cores. There are some major classes that I would have prefered to take, however, I don't have enough room in my schedule to take them because I have to finish fulfilling my core classes.

The elevators in my residence building are terrible and the parking permits are way too expensive. Duquesne needs to give people more options on parking.

The frustrating thing about Duquesne is my major, music education. It is difficult and frustrating because it draws alot out of me. It is challenging, strenuous, and time-consuming.

Gina

The most frustrating thing about Duquesne University is how early on-campus dining closes. Most students have at least one evening class that does not get out until close to 9:00PM and almost all dining areas close or stop taking your designated meal plan by 7:00PM.
