I had a bad experience with two advisors that ended up hurting my GPA and an opportunity of obtaining a research position with a professor. After meeting with an associate dean about a course, I felt disrespected and as though the dean didn't care to hear me out.

There are no frustrating things about this school.

The education does not seem worth the money. At least for much of undergrad.

it can be a bit overwhelming with all the choices you have. There's a lot of different clubs and groups, lots of electives to take and just lots of things to do in general. You kind of want to do them all yet you also want to keep school in focus.

The first few weeks of attending a large, public university were definitely an overwhelming experience. It was difficult to juggle a demanding class schedule, studying, meeting new friends, joining organizations, and building a new social life. It was difficult to navigate through a new city and a new school. It was also difficult to be away from home – I truly missed my family. But, I soon discovered that many freshmen experience these same feelings and I also quickly discovered ways to manage and prioritize my time. After successfully completing my first semester, I feel much more connected and more confident.

On-campus dining options on weekends is limited, as many places that accept dining dollars are closed.

It's a great school. Some classes are large, but on the whole it's a good fit for most people.

Everything just costs way too much. Housing is close to ten thousand dollars and the meal plan is around three thousand. Not to mention it costs around twenty-secen dollars to go here. Yes it is a big school, but it is extremely expensive especially for a family with four kids in college and a single mother.

Most of the students have always had everything given to them. They have never had to struggle. A majority of the students who attend The University of Pittsburgh are not actually from Pittsburgh. They were raised in other areas. They are students and only play the role of a student. Most of them never had a job. Although this is one of my biggest struggles, I feel that it allows me to stand out in the long run. Also the school departments are disconnected from one another.

Some of the teachers are hard to understand or are difficult to try and learn from. Their tests can sometimes be incredibly difficult in the way they're written. It's luck of the draw a lot of times when it comes to who you'll have teaching your class.
