Campus Visits

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Walk down the hill from Hanley Hall, cross the street and you’re in Pittsburgh’s legal epicenter. Courthouses, city and county offices, and many law firms are clustered in the Forbes Avenue, Grant and Ross Street area. Scores of other law offices and corporate headquarters are within just a few blocks. There’s no better place to gain professional experience and exposure to the workings of the legal system. This convenient, exciting environment includes many of the Law School’s clinical and externship programs.

Pittsburgh’s compact urban center, with all its amenities, sits at Duquesne’s doorstep. The city’s major-league sports venues are all located within about a mile of campus, including the Pirates’ PNC Park and the Steelers’ Heinz Field on the North Shore. Historic Mellon Arena – home of the Penguins, concerts and shows – is just two blocks from campus. A revitalized cultural district, with a world-class symphony orchestra, opera, ballet and theater, is within a 10 minute walk, as are shopping, dining and nightlife downtown, in the Strip District and nearby Station Square.

Pittsburgh’s eclectic neighborhoods and competitive cost of living make it an attractive place to study, live and work.
