University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

I brag about the amount of fun I have with my friends on the weekends. Pitt students have free access to the Port Authority transportation system in Allegheny County and we take advantage of it, so long as no one has an exam early in the next week. The friends I myself have made are all so understanding that even when I was unable to go out because I needed to study, they would shrug, grab their work, and come back to my room and study for their courses. I brag about the generosity and genuinely wonderful people you will meet at my school.

I would brag to my friends about how I have everything I need. With so many incredible alumni and awesome student organizations, the University of Pittsburgh offers everything you need to be a successful college student. As a business student, I can schedule a meeting with an advisor in the morning and meet with them in the afternoon. I can have my resume reviewed by a professional and even have a mock interview, and it doesn't require scheduling weeks in advance. I truly believe the University of Pittsburgh gives me everything I need to succeed.

The Cathedral of Learning, easily the most beautiful academic building. Classrooms are modeled after different countries and eras. Not everyone can say they have class in a room with two chandeliers and marble floors, followed by a lecture in a Roman Coliseum, but Pitt students can.

I tell them about the numersous opportunites that University of Pittsburgh has to offer. Since we have The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center it's agency allows students from all majors to get internships, volunteer work, or research opportunities. When your not in the books, the university is in the middle of a city so there is always something to do. It's a good transition school from those who are used to smaller rural areas, but also a happy mediem to those students who are used to a big city!

I brag about the closeness of the student body. We all banded together at the end of the Spring 2012 semester due to repeated bomb threats. Upperclassmen opened their apartment doors to underclassmen so they could actually get some sleep without getting evacuated. Morale was kept up through that time. Most of the student body attends the football games.

I brag most about the atmosphere of the school. Though it is a large University, it has never felt like a huge school to me. The students are all very motivated in school and you feel a bond with almost everyone whether it is through academics, sports, or extra curriculars.

The university has a world class Philosophy department and is an exceptional research university. Being such a large research university there are phenomenal academic resources if you choose to take advantage of them. There are many nationally recognized professors which is a great resource for anyone planning to attend graduate school.

I brag about many things, but I will only speak on three perks of the University of Pittsburgh. Perk 1: Free public transportation in the city of Pittsburgh. PITT knows that most of the undergraduate students attending the university are flat out broke. So they drastically cut down the cost of transportation by providing free access to the city buses. This is a great advantage because you never have to pay the $2.00 bus fee. Perk 2: We have every club you can think of, from knitting to martial arts. Perk 3: We have a WONDERFUL Biological Sciences Program.

One of the best aspects of going to school in Pittsburgh is having access to the city and all it has to offer. The University does a tremendous job of facilitating student participation in various events throughout the city. For example, the school offers discounted tickets to many concerts and shows. Many of my friends attend colleges in rural or suburban areas. and do not have the same opportunities as I do living in a large city.

The atheletic program is outstanding and I love being a member of the Pittsburgh Marching Band. The campus is great and the food is not as bad as it could be or as bad as some people make it out to be. I also brag about the fact that it's a short bus ride into downtown Pittsburgh and you can ride any Port Authority bus for free with your student ID
