The University of Pittsburgh is best known for the Cathedral of Learning. The Cathedral is a very large building here on campus that is an architectural beauty. Inside the building there are many rooms known as nationality rooms, each of these rooms representing a different culture. Not only are they shown off to the public, but they are taught in as well. It is a grand place to visit, which our President Barack Obama and his wife got the pleasure of doing so during the G-20 summit here in Oakland in September 2009.

My school (The University of Pittsburgh) is probably best known for its excellent Pre-Medical Professions programs. There is an excellent hospital system here in the city of Pittsburgh, and that gives many opportunities for the students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real life situations.

I would say the school is best known for it's health professions, with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center being available for further education, research, and other opportunities. We also have great athletic programs at the school. This year Pitt may be best known for it's top ranked basketball team which was number 1 twice this season.

We have some super grad programs and professors, and the campus itself is pretty neat with the Cathedral of Learning. That really sets us apart. Other than that, we're known for being Penn State's biggest rival...
