Someone looking for a small quaint campus should not attend this school
Ryan
Somebody who does not love a city atmosphere. Located just outside of downtown Pittsburgh, two major roads run right through the university. 24 hours a day, cars constantly run to and from the city. The university truly never sleeps. If you enjoy a peaceful and quiet setting, this urban campus is not for you.

If you are not hard-working or willing to put the time in to get good grades, this probably is not the college for you. It is also not a good college for people who do not like to get involved. There is so much going on here that it is almost impossible to not join in a club or activity. People who do not join things have a hard time adjusting and making friends because the campus is so large. You really have to make an effort to get involved and meet new people.

If you're a person who is comfortable in quiet places and doesn't like the city, don't go to Pitt. Also if you're the type of person who likes knowing everyone on campus, you won't. It's a bit harder to make friends here but no impossible.
Kelsey
Someone who is not open to a diverse, city way of life.

You shouldn't come to the University of Pittsburgh if you're looking for something quiet or boring. It's a loud, vibrant city, not for the faint of heart or those who prefer the country. We're right in the heart of the city!
Rebecca
Univeristy of Pittsburgh is a busy place. I like that there is so much to do here. If you are someone who doesn't like busy streets and lots of people then Pitt may not be the place for you. There are a ton of museums, places to shop and eat right here on campus but unfortunately there isnt alot of green space. If you like the outdoors and being surrounded by grass and trees, Pitt is the opposite. Its concrete sidewalks and tall buildings. Also the weather is cold and wet for most of the school year.
Olivia
I think the only kind of people that shouldn't attend this school are people that don't like a city environment. Other than that I would say this school is open to any type of person.
Rachel
A person who can't deal without a lot of personal attention and a close-knit community.
Jane
Anyone who wants to pursue a career in the performing arts, or anything artistic. There are theater, music, dance, and art programs, but this is really not the place for you if you are serious about any of these fields. Also, it can be hard to find your way here if you don't know what you want to do with your life. There is career counseling, etc, but ultimately no one's going to help you unless you seek help.
