Why Students Choose to Live On Campus
"I had the opportunity to live in Towers, Des Places and St. Martin during my time here at Duquesne. Coming from New Jersey, all three of these buildings allowed me to feel a sense of home and security. From lively communal kitchens to cozy lounges to exciting game rooms, each building had something to offer that added to my great experience at Duquesne."
