Q:  Does it have to be through the school?

A:  Laptops can be purchased anywhere. The advantage to purchasing at DU is that, in the unlikely event that a repair is needed, the computer store can perform repairs on site, often providing loaner laptops if necessary. 

Additionally:

• The warranties carry no deductible
• Units are competitively priced, with Dell laptops offered as Business class machines
• Dell has typically had a back-to-school rebate 
• Apple sometimes has a back-to-school promotion
• Questions? Email LawIT@duq.edu

We teamed up with VeryApt to create the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University VeryApt Housing Guide. VeryApt is the only company focusing on helping graduate students find housing. VeryApt surveyed our current students, and based on their feedback, they compiled a list of apartment buildings for you, one of our incoming students.
