<p>DD and I would like to visit Duquesne this summer. It's about a 6 hour drive for us. We got a flyer for DuquesneFest Special</a> Events. Do you think it would be more beneficial to visit at such a big open house, or wait and take a smaller tour later in the summer? I know that neither of the summer options is optimal in terms of observing current students. If it ends up being a real possibility, she'll go back to visit during the school year.</p>
<p>Also, she's interested in one of the Digital Arts majors - anyone have first hand knowledge of Duquesne's programs?</p>
<p>I would definitely go to the Duquesne Fest. It was a well-organized and dynamic event. My daughter left there with a lot of enthusiasm for the university. In fact, I seem to remember that there was some time to attend presentations from individual schools. </p>
<p>Since you are coming from out of town, I’m guessing that you will be staying overnight. Maybe you could consider making a one-on-one appointment with someone in your department on Friday, tour around the city a bit on Saturday (eat, shop, go to sports or cultural events or art galleries - there’s lots to do here), etc, and then attend the Duquesne Fest on Sunday.</p>
<p>If you have any particular questions about Duquesne or Pittsburgh, I will try to help you out. :)</p>
