University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

Pitt's an amazing and underrated school. Most people here are happy, friendly and fun to be around. Professors are a hit or miss, just like at any school, but the majority are very intelligent and dedicated to their field of study.

Come to Pittsburgh! College here is so much fun and the opportunities for a career are growing even with this terrible economy. Casinos and a new hockey stadium are bringing many more jobs to our community. They will be in operation by 2010 and the facilities are going to be unreal. Pittsburgh is constantly growing and does not seem to be slowing down at all. Come check it out and if you need someone to take you around and show you what I feel Pittsburgh is all about (not what a school tour will show you) let me know. I've been here for a while and truly love it.

Not only does Pitt focus a lot on sports, but it focuses on other students. There are classes for everyone ranging from art to basketball or astronomy.

University of Pittsburgh Main Campus offers much more in the way of social and cultural interactions. Since it's located in a city, I have access to numerous shopping areas, theatres, concert halls, and sports events. There are also many museums, libraries, career opportunities, and a greater variety of classes that can be accomodated since Pitt has so many resources in its surroundings. City life makes Pitt a more active and diverse campus than the other schools I considered, and I'm glad I have so much to experience in such close proximity to where I learn and live.

The best thing about the University of Pittsburgh is its location in the city. Your ID works as a city bus pass and allows you to travel anywhere in the city for free. There's always something going on, and there's a lot of Pitt Pride (especially for football and basketball). The city is so historical and diverse there is never nothing to do on the weekends, or even during the week. Pitt has a program called Pitt Arts that allows students (for free) to attend ballets, orchestras, plays, on Pitt's dollar and they even feed you! Awesome.

The city of Pittsburgh itself is unique and is one of the main reasons I wanted to go to Pitt. I loved the area, all the excitement and things to do around every corner.

It's really cool.

The uruban feel of the campus, and how close it is to a major city. The buildings themselves that we take classes in are often very unique. We do have a cathedral!
