    Being in Pittsburgh the restaurants and local dining venues have excellent food but as far as campus dining goes the food could be better.

    Explore the Options program at Duquesne. Many on campus and just off campus dining opportunities are available. Starbucks, Subway, and the Red Ring are all part of on campus dining choices. Many casual and fine dining restaurants are within walking distance.

    The food Duquesne serves is the usual college quality... There is a all you can eat buffet called Towers that takes a meal swipe. Towers has a lot of different options, grill food, salad bar, pizza, really bad knock off chinese food, homestyle, pasta, deli, breakfast, cereals, silk, desserts..ect. Options takes flex or a meal swipe for a meal. They serve mostly deli, burgers, salads, and poor quality mexican burritos. Off Ramp also takes flex or a meal swipe. They serve pizza and fast food and salads. Also an on campus convenience store called P.O.D. which has some common in demand items like hot pockets and other microwavable food. They take flex or specific items for meal swipes. P.O.D. is extremely overpriced. We have a Starbucks, Jamba Juice, and a bar-restaurant called Red Ring on campus which all take flex dollars after a certain time. The dining services staff is mostly mean and nasty who swear and act completely unprofessional.

    I have never been crazy about the food at DU. But it is OK if you are looking for OK food. Brottier has its own kitchens, so I use that now, but in a regular dorm you must have a meal plan, so you have to eat somewhere on campus. Towers is OKish, Off Ramp is OK, Options is good, but there are few other places to get foos with your meal swipe or FLEX. Unfortunately, the Subway on campus does not take FLEX, but the Starbucks does!

    There are a good amount of fraternities and sororities on campus, as well as academically oriented and even ethnically oriented ones. From what I have heard, Greek Life on campus is a good bonding experience and provides great connections and relationships for people, both men and women.

    There are a large number of Greek life fraternities and sororities. They all seem to be very good and long standing parts of the Duquesne University tradition.

    At Duquesne, Greek Life is very popular. If you are a social person who likes to do group activities, Duquesne offers students plenty of groups to join.
