Transportation

Transportation is overall pretty good. Public transportation is always running and can take students almost anywhere (prepaid). Having a car on campus is very difficult, though, because parking is very expensive and it is hard to find a place to put it.

School spirit is pretty good

School Spirit is pretty good at Pitt. Basketball is definitely the more popular sport but football games are fun also. There is no football stadium on campus and going down to heinz field can be annoying at times.

The Culture Around You

University of Pittsburgh offers an amazing college experience. The city of Pittsburgh is great for college kids, it has Carnegie Mellon right next door and Duquesne University just down the road. Public Transportation is free with your college ID and so are many local museums and attractions. I have spent many Saturday's exploring the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and have learned many things from it.
