Someone who likes a good mix of a great education with a great social atmosphere. Any type of person will be happy at Pitt. There are so many opportunities in so many different areas. It is important to be focused on education and not get too caught up in the social scene.

The University of Pittsburgh is great for a student who knows exactly what he/she wants to do, or someone who really has no idea, like I was. There are so many opportunites and an enormous variety of classes. There are also many extra-curricular activities, volunteer and research opportunities, clubs and Greek life. I myself volunteer at one of the nearby hospitals and work for a Biology Lab on campus. Pitt is great for someone who wants a lot of opportunities and is open minded.
Rebecca
Someone interested in Science, Business or Engineering majors since the University caters to them the most.. Grr..
Andrea
Anyone that is willing to work for their grades and take advantage of the many opportunities here.
Heather
The type of people who feel most comfortable here are those who like to party and enjoy a city setting. Although there are a lot of students who like to drink, University of Pittsburgh also attracts ambitious career-driven individuals. It seems to be one extreme or the other.
Diana
A somewhat liberal person should apply to this school. Any person interested in the engineering or medical field should definitely apply to this school also. The campus is in the middle of a city so it is likely best suited for someone who is not used to quiet towns in the country. Athletes with promising futures in sports would also do very well at this school.
Sami
Students who attend this school are hard-working, focused, and driven to succeed. Most of us love to go out and have fun with our friends, but we do not let that interfere in our school work/load. People planning on applying and those that will attend this university should expect to work hard, because it is very competitive here in everyone's particular field of study. and expect to have fun.
Javier
Someone who is not afraid to get out there and meet new people / try new things.
india
people who like big schools
Kenda
Someone who loves the city should attend Pitt. In order to love Pitt life, you have to love having constant motion around you and constantly having something you could be doing.
Maranda
Someone who wants to be immersed in different cultures and live in a wonderful city.
Varun
A lot of middle class and upper middle class people attend Pitt. However, an increasing amount of adults and lower middle class students are entering as well. I think someone who is interested in changing the surroundings by offering more environmental concern and social diversity should attend Pitt to reshape the population.
John
Pitt would be a good choice for someone who is ambitious and expects to do big things with their life- there are a lot of research, intern, and job opportunities at this university, and it would behoove students to take advantage of all that is offered here. Incoming students should enjoy being around people, being busy, and being part of something much bigger than themselves. There is room for individuality at Pitt, but not much space for the anti-social. Pitt is best suited for those who intend to assume some type of leadership position, and for the self motivated.
Lisa
The kind of person that would attend this school would be someone who is very outgoing and could deal with the pressures of living in a big city.
Christopher
Anyone who is interested in learning a lot. Particularly those interested in research.
Natalie
An open-minded person should attend this school. Students, professors, activities, subjects are all very diverse since the school is so large. A college student enrolled here should be open-minded and willing to try and learn about different people, cultures and ideas. If they are close-minded, they will not make friends or experience the other unique opportunities offered.
