University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

It's located in an urban area, but there is easy access to places where you can do nature-related activities

I didn't really consider any other schools. I've wanted to go to Pitt since i was little. I think it is a great place because there are lots of different kinds of people, amazing professors, and Oakland is a great place to live! there is always something to do, whether you like to go to parties and bars, or if you like to watch plays or theatre performances. I love it here! If i could i would stay here forever!

Pittsburgh has a lot of opportunities specailly in the sciences. Plus Pitt has some great, professors and research ideas that can get you into any graduate school you want to. I think i like Pitt the best because everyone is really smart but not awkwardly smart. If you are smart and driven but like to have fun you'll definitly fit in.

The campus has much to offer in the fact that it is in the shadow of a somewhat major city.

It is a large city, college campus, park/nature all wrapped into one.

The school itself is not particularly hands on in terms of the students academics and career. The school won't hold your hand and walk you through doing well in class or monitoring your social events. If you need a lot of structure, Pitt may not be the best school for you. You really need to be independent and self-driven in order to get the most out of your education. If you self-driven and willing to seek out help or services, the school has a ton of money to throw at you. I had a friend create a snowboard team from the ground up. If you like someone checking over your shoulder to make sure you're getting good grades and having a good time, Pitt probably isn't your school.

Run, don't walk away from this school.

It has a cathedral of learning.

The city life gives you alot of things to do. Bus downtown and see all that the city has to offer.

It's urban and near home. And Pittsburgh is beautiful.
