University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

The best thing about Pitt was its urban campus. Granted, this is a subjective preference, but I, personally, loved the fact that I had access to professional and collegiate (Division 1) sporting events, great shopping, theaters and special events all within minutes of the school I was attending. Pittsburgh is typically regarded as an old steel town, but anyone coming to the city for the first time will quickly learn that that's not true. It's a very cultural town and it's growing. It's a big small town, but students have access to just about anything.

The best thing about my school is the numerous oppurtunities the city of Pittsburgh offers. With numerous places to immerse oneself in culture, such as at the Bynam theatre, and many opportunities for internships within the health care field, the city of Pittsburgh has something to offer anyone.

The best thing about my college is that it is so diverse and I am able to be about people from all walks of life. I can only live once but it is a unique experience being able to learn about the culture and customs first hand of people from around the world. I love that I am able to live in a city where so many walks of life are not only accepted but are encouraged and thrive.

I love the fact that the University of Pittsburgh gives its students a vast array of opportunities to gain experience in virtually any field of study. Numerous student organizations exist, and students are involved in so many activities outside of the classroom. Additionally, I enjoy getting a great education and having the opportunity to learn in an environment that is competitive, yet friendly and helpful.

The computing services and libraries located on campus offer an excellent resource for students to use throughout the semester. Many computer programs are offered at almost no cost to the students and they also have great repair services if you are having problems with your computer. I have found that the libraries will bend over backward in order to retrieve books, articles, and other resources at no cost as well.

It's a good name and well known. People respect it and the school has managed to rebuild Pittsburgh after the fall of the steel industry.
