I saw a schedule for part time evening students online showing Mon-Thursday 6-9pm with Mondays being a virtual class. Is that not the schedule? or is that just a sample schedule?

Nicole Norman

For those of us who don't work in the legal field, when should we be making the switch and getting our first job in the legal field?
Kayla Ford

You will likely have reading assignments due during that first class. So make sure you purchase your books as early as possible.
Arya Houshiarnejad

Sarah Ricci

I am in the process of finding a job that is more well suited for taking classes. How likely is it that career services is able to find a “unique” position like the few described in this call?

Can you readdress the amazon matching price? with school books? Thank you.
Kristen Petrina (she/her)
01:03:00
Yes, when you go to order your books, if you find it cheaper on amazon, the bookstore will price match. You just have to email them.
benjaminslesinger
01:03:14
Okay. Got it. Thanks.
Taylor Chakurda
01:03:27
I have to run but thank you for the info! And congrats all on graduating!
Paige Wheeler
01:03:37
Is that only price matching with Amazon or other websites too?
David Cimino
01:03:41

Petrina Supler
01:05:09

Petrina Supler
01:06:02
The classes and the professors. The class locations and such.
Bella Serapiglia
01:08:48
Is there a certain purse or bag you would recommend to add on?
Kayla Ford
01:09:13
backpack! Save your shoulders. Your books will be heavy.
Kayla Ford
01:09:53
I have a few classmates that use the roller bookbags/brief cases too.
Kristen Petrina (she/her)
01:10:21
If you do not want a back pack, I LOVE my Lo& Sons OG bag, I have used it all four years, and it looks brand new. But my suggestion will be something with dividers and durable, the books are heavy.
Petrina Supler
01:12:42
How early do you think we'll have access to Quimby?
Paige Wheeler
01:14:07
Completely off current topic, but I’m moving to Pittsburg from Kansas and am looking for an apartment. Never lived in a big city so I was just curious if you would suggest living downtown close to Duquesne or outside of the city?
benjaminslesinger
01:14:33
The $2,000 towards a new computer/laptop. Is it subsidized through the merit-based scholarship, grant/loan? I would like clarification, thank you.
Kristen Petrina (she/her)
01:14:58
It is through your financial aid, so I would contact them they can walk you through the process of obtaining it.
Shelby Pelesky
01:15:11
(Born & Raised in PGH) - the downside to living downtown is the lack of grocery store!
Kristen Petrina (she/her)
01:15:15
Also, if you order through the Duquesne IT there is a discount on computers.
benjaminslesinger
01:16:04
Okay, thank you. I will have to read more about that.
Bella Serapiglia
01:16:09
My favorite place is Southside @ Paige they have a shuttle to duquesne too!
Nicole Norman
01:16:48
Do you have to wait until a certain time to use the $2,000 for laptop? Or will you have access before loan funds are disbursed
Dan Davenport
01:16:48
Apple also offers an educational discount on new tech. They just need your student email to verify your status.
Bella Serapiglia
01:17:32
Southside is in a dark Time right now but I know a ton of kids live their off campus and they dont pay too much in rent
Paige Wheeler
01:17:37
Okay thank you! I’ll have my fiancé with me but I’m sure he will want to avoid the sketchy areas too lol
benjaminslesinger
01:17:52
I know at Apple if you bought a laptop with them, you can trade in your old laptop and they will give you the sale value in $ towards a new laptop
Heather
01:17:59
I live in Bellevue which is nice. DO NOT live in east hills, there is a shooting every other day
benjaminslesinger
01:17:59
*Apple Store
Bella Serapiglia
01:18:06
Best Buy will give u money for a trade in too
Dan Davenport
01:18:36
Mt. Washington is great, also! I lived there all through undergrad and it was quiet, relatively affordable, and super convenient.
Kayla Ford
01:18:37
I'm a huge fan of Carnegie :) But I'm biased. Lol Greentree and Carnegie are very close. Basically just on the other side of Fort Pitt Tunnel.
Bella Serapiglia
01:18:55
I live in southills I love it!
Allison Curilla
01:19:06
When i bought my new laptop I went straight through apple to get the education discount, 5% cash back with my apple card, and free air pods THEN the financial aid office reimbursed me for the price of laptop.
Shelby Pelesky
01:20:34
Mt Lebanon is great! I had my first 2 apartments in Mt Lebo and absolutely loved them. My third apartment was reasonable in the North Side, but it is NOT a good area (north shore is fine, but farther up not so much). I now live in Robinson Township which is extremely convenient because I am right off of 376 and close to every store imaginable. And only a short drive to the airport.
