Duquesne University

What are the popular events and traditions at Duquesne University?

Duquesne's recurring events include student-programmed activities and holiday gatherings. Examples identified in campus event information include Epic Bingo, the Duquesne University Christmas Ball and Night of Lights.

These events serve different purposes: a large bingo program is a social activity, while the Christmas Ball and Night of Lights are tied to seasonal campus celebration. Offerings and formats can vary by year. Students interested in the university's traditions can also look to orientation and athletic events for recurring opportunities to gather, without assuming that any event is mandatory or held in precisely the same form every year.

What are the student housing and dining options at Duquesne University?

Duquesne offers university-operated, coeducational housing for undergraduates, including residence-hall options. Housing availability is not the same as a guaranteed placement or a universal first-year residency requirement; applicants should check the rules and deadlines for their entering class.

Room types, eligibility and any apartment-style options can vary. Students comparing choices should examine the housing agreement, application or deposit process, break-period access and whether a meal plan is required for the selected building. Campus dining includes meal-plan options and locations where students can purchase food; plan value depends on where and how often a student expects to eat.

Off-campus housing is another possibility in Pittsburgh, particularly for students who want a different living arrangement. Rent comparisons should include utilities, commuting and lease length, not just the advertised monthly price. Students with a car should separately confirm parking rules for their residence or commute.
