University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

I wish I would have known that I could have taken classes during the summer before my freshman year. I would have completed some basic required courses.

I don't wish I had known anything before i came to this school. When I visited the campus the staff was extremely helpful about showing me everything that I needed to know and providing all the information that was necessary.

I wish I had know of the opportunities available for financial assistance. I have found many opportunities for advancement based on extra curricular activities, programs, and research available. However, without a promising way to pay for those services, at times your advancements may seem obsolete. Everything that I have done with the university, holistically, was beneficial. There just needs to be an educational program set up, to inform students of their long term financial commitments to a large university.

The walking distance from class to class and the time it takes to walk it.

I wish I had known that, contrary to what they said, we have no access to a router or port forwarding, and they make no exceptions or special treatment should you need access to particular ports. Also, you HAVE to have a meal plan unless you live in an apartment or off-campus, and the places you can spend your dining dollars and passes are both limited and overpriced. At least the food's good.

I wish I had known more about Pittsburgh before coming here. It took awhile to get used to things freshman year, but exploring was fun.

The lack of open minded students to different ways of life.

I wish I would have known how hard it was to meet people on campus when you commute. Classes are very demanding so I don't have time to join clubs or organizations to meet people.
