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.

Always an Interesting Experience

I know from many of my 21+ friends that the bar scene is a good time and there are plenty of options. However for someone underage like myself, its either a house party, fraternity party, or just hanging out in a dorm/apartment. Pitt's transportation system is very well and I use it often when getting places as well as using the city's buses that students have access to through our tuition. Parties are always fun but sometimes you never know whats going on on campus and many people wander around campus looking for a party that isn't full and is crazy. Being a part of greek life, I sometimes get the scoop on parties, however I also have the choice to just enjoy a night hanging out at my fraternity house.

Pitt's nightlife is reflected in my title because no two nights are the same and sometimes you never know what you might see at a party.
