<p>How is life at Duquesne? Is it a commuter atmosphere? Do you feel sequestered on the campus in the middle of a not-so-nice area of town? How are the academics?</p>
<p>......bumping........</p>
<p>Would like to add - any music majors out there?</p>
<p>Hi ZappaMom! I can tell you that the music school is very good. Are you interested in teaching or performance?</p>
<p>My DS is looking at their jazz studies program for guitar.</p>
<p>I don’t know about the jazz studies in particular, but Pittsburgh has a vibrant jazz community and I don’t think you could go wrong. There would be lots of opportunities to listen to and play with various jazz musicians.</p>
<p>my friend attends Duquesne and she likes the school. she said its not in too bad an area. its easy to get around the city from where you are even without a car. she says that the teachers are helpful and the classes arent big unless its like a general science class, because everybody has to take it. the campus is easy to navigate because it is small and contained.</p>
<p>Thanks tennischick09! What year and major is your friend it?</p>
<p>I’m probably gonna end up at Duquesne next year, and I’m just wondering that even though it’s a religious school, is it really religious at all? I never really go to church and I don’t know…i’m just not that big on religion.</p>

<p>my friend is a freshman at duquesne and she is majoring in business management.</p>
<p>in reply to penny_lane:</p>
<p>I asked her about the whole religion thing…and she said that even though she is catholic and goes to a catholic school she does not go to the church and the school doesnt revolve around its religion. she said that a lot of her friends arent too big on religion and they love it there.</p>
<p>HOPE THIS HELPS BOTH OF YOU!</p>
<p>Thanks for investigating tennischick, I’m really glad to hear that. I didn’t wanna be stuck in some religion class when I’m kind of agnostic. I’m going to an Open House this weekend though, so I’ll see it for myself. :)</p>
<p>What is the Open House event and do you have to pre-register? Is it for admitted seniors or can anybody go?</p>
