On August 18, we made a trip to Pittsburgh to get my husband's books that he needed for his classes in Duquesne University's graduate program. He is taking Master in Leadership in Professional Administration. Last year, he attempted to do his masters through online school but he did not like the setting so he cancelled his enrollment. Then we enrolled our daughter at City Music Center in the same university, he decided to do his schooling there as well. I admire my husband's perseverance in continuing his education.
Driving around in the city of bridges is very relaxing. You can see beautiful old buildings and modern ones as well. Then as you enter Doquene University, you'll be amazed to see that this is an urban campus in a park-like setting. It is beautiful inside. I love how you can comfortably walk around the campus, it's friendly out there and it has the family-oriented atmosphere. We have been in Robert Morris University several times when my husband was having his under-graduate there but every time we were there, it feels very different there.
The Power Center is where we picked his books at. Instead of buying a new one, he rented it at their bookstore. There is a skywalk that connects between the Power Center to Doquesne Square where my daughter's music program is being held at Mary Pappert School of Music building.
For the next coming weeks, only my husband and daughter would go there. I will be staying at home with my son so he won't be so bored over there when his sister is having her music lessons. It would also give my husband some time to do his homework at the library. Hubby is taking advantage of the education benefits that the company is giving to them. He has to shoulder 10% of the expenses but it is so much better than paying 100% out of your pocket.
Till next time folks.

WOW! Looks like a nice campus!
Bongga huh? The school lends a laptop to students who doesn't own one.
looks like a very historical place and it's nice that your hubs and daughter goes to the same school :)
Father and daughter as well as schoolmates too :D that's nice that they rent books, students can really save money from that.
good for john! that looks like a huge campus.
Good luck to both of them and I admire your husband keeping up his education. Take care Diane
What a nice trip. Looked like you all had a great time.
Looks like a trip that was not only fun but also a learning experience for you children. Myself, I love seeing old towns and old buildings. Pieces of history that are very interesting and fun to see.
Such a modern school! Looks like you had a great time on this trip.
I hope renting books instead of buying them is also available here in PH.
