COOL PLACE TO LIVE
You might want to rehearse your "How I fell in love with Pittsburgh" speech for friends and family. Pittsburgh is compact, cultured, safe, neighborly, green, and very affordable. We can’t think of a better setting for your 12-month MBA Sustainability experience.
HOUSING
Duquesne University designates special floors in the residence halls for graduate and law students. Many graduate students live off campus either in close-by apartment houses or in some of Pittsburgh's many interesting neighborhoods.
Housing costs in Pittsburgh are very reasonable and there is a wide range of options available for off-campus living. The Office of Commuter Affairs maintains lists of off-campus housing.
