University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

Pittsburgh is currently facing a possible 'tuition' tax on college students in the city. This action was begun after I enrolled in the school and I wish that I had known this was a possibility before I made my decision.

How much college is and how are it is to get scholarships.

How to cook

The transition that I had to make for studying. I understood the atmosphere would be much different but did not realize how much effort was required to do well in classes. I just breezed through high school but could not do that here. Also I wish I had a little more direction when I headed to school. It took me until my junior year to figure out what I wanted to do and luckily it only took me an extra year to accomplish my goal.

I wish I had known that when you fill out the roommate application, be very dramatic on your scales or you will be stuck with crazy roommates. I wish I had not had all the stereotypical thoughts about college in my head, and I wish I had known how loud it could be sometimes outside.

The amount of work that is truly required of a student to do on his/her own in order to do well in class

That i wasn't going to get any financial aid, and how research oriented the professors are.

You really need to be open to new things and not just sit around. You need to get out there and get involved in everything you can right from the start. If you don't like something try something new. And, if you don't like your roommate ask for a new one. There is no point in trying to live a whole year with someone you don't like.

I wish I would have know that I would actually have preferred to stay closer to home, and that I would have been a better fit with a more diverse combination of classes.

I wish I would have become involved in the radio station and Christian ministry earlier than I did.
