University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

Yes, this school has tons of spirits and game days can be intense, but that's part of what makes Pitt so much fun. In terms of drinking and partying, I think we're like any other big university. There are definitely a lot of kids here that love to go get wasted, but there are SO many different types of people at Pitt you never feel like the crowd is homogeneous. If you're not into partying, there's tons of stuff to do and people to hang out with. Most students are friendly, smart and serious about school.

Yes of course!

This stereotype is definitely not accurate. Pitt is much more diverse that many people would assume, including from an academic standpoint. Several of its academic programs are top 10.

It's true that Pitt tends to be less of a party school than Penn State. As far as the students, you meet nice ones and not so nice ones.

No, Pitt's campus is located close to the city of Pittsburgh, but Oakland as a whole is built around Pitt and the students. Oakland (Pitt's location) is always lively and energetic just as any college campus.
