I am from Jamestown, North Dakota, and I found Duquesne because I was looking for schools with good economics programs. I had a really memorable first impression of Duquesne. I met with the mentor for my program, and he left a lasting impression on me. I really love being here, and I think Pittsburgh is a really cool city."
