University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

Pitt is definitely more left wing then right wing. I personally don't agree with left wing politics, but I am still comfortable being a student here at Pitt. There are clubs for everyone no matter what cultural background you identify with or where you're from. For example I am Jewish, so I partake in a community on campus called The Chabad House which is like a home away from home. They serve Friday night dinner to whoever will come share their home for a festive meal, and Saturday lunch. This community is just one of many options depending on what your interests are. Students love to debate political ideas and so much more here on campus. Sometimes it may get heated, but everyone can find someone who has similar beliefs to talk to. There truly is such a mixture of people here that it's beautiful. You have commuters who work, people from out of the country, out of state, and don’t forget about the locals. Pittsburgh is an amazing city with a rare community that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. It is so easy to get comfortable here and find your place.
