University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

This school is perfect for mostly everyone! There are great professors, friendly students and again, the fit is good for most people. There might be some kids who would prefer a smaller school, but other than that, it's great!

I really don't think there is any type of person that shouldn't come to Pitt. Pitt is a diverse school where there are opportunities for everyone. Even if you are shy and have trouble meeting people, there are various activities and programs that force you to meet other students in your building or on campus.

Someone who get easily lost in a crowd or cannot handle themselves in a city.

Someone who is afraid of getting lost on a large campus. University of Pittsburgh has a very large student population, so don't plan on attending this college if you easily get lost in the crowd- and don't like it!

Anyone could!

Any kind of person can attend this school. Although, I would recommend it be a person that enjoys the hustle and bustle of a bigger campus life.

Being that this university is located right in the middle of a city, a person who doesn't like many people or an urban setting should not attend here. Oakland is always bustling with people, busses, and cars. Additionally, if you're a person looking for small classes with extra special attention, the University of Pittsburgh is not for you. I had a few lectures with 200-400 people. They had recitations which gave an opportunity for discussions. So I should say, if you're a person who wants to ask their questions right then and there, forget about it.

Someone who is very shy, quiet, and doesn't like people should not attend the University of Pittsburgh. Also people who do not like cities, should stay away, because Pitt is a city.

If you hope to be at an "enclosed" campus, don't. Pitt is a part of the city and so commerical buildings are interspersed with classes. Also, if you're not used to a faster pace and a cooler climate, you won't feel at home. It's in the city, it is a major hub of pittsburgh so there is always traffic and buses running through. And the dorms are varied,throughout campus, so be prepared to walk.

You have to like an urban environment to like it here. While we are not in downtown Pittsburgh, there is street noise, crosswalks, and a city atmosphere. You also need to be comfortable with a large amount of people around you most of the time. With a large undergraduate body, you should not attend if you are looking for a small school. So I would say someone who is looking for a rural small town feel, shoud not attend.
