Your Home on Campus

Living on campus is an exciting and challenging part of the college experience. At Duquesne, about 3,400 students live on campus in dormitories called Living Learning Centers. (Find out why they’re so much more than just dorms!)

**Attention Students and Families:  In anticipation of the storm that is approaching, Super Sophomore Saturday has been rescheduled to Saturday, February 13, 2010.  We apologize for any inconvenience.***
