College Prowler Take

There are enough students at Pitt to make a smorgasbord of potential relationships, whatever type you're looking for. The student body varies widely, though girls are almost always considered better looking. Pitt men have much less to complain about than CMU students up the street because they have many more options available. On the whole, the campus isn't especially notable for the amount of romantic interactions. While relationships aren't uncommon, they also aren't by any means the rule. Casual dating and hookups are frequent, especially during the first couple of years.

Most students find that it's not hard to find a great group of close friends at Pitt. With people from so many walks of life, it's no surprise. By the end of the first year, many people already have their future roommates picked out and have usual places and activities that they do. Pittsburgh is known for being a friendly city, and many are hard pressed to want to leave Oakland. The best advice is to meet as many people and do as many things as possible, especially in your first year. It can take some time to get settled in, but once you do, you'll likely find yourself surrounded by people who you genuinely good friends.

Some people suck, and some don’t. This place isn’t as cultured as San Fran or New York; it’s more like a college town filled with all types of people from bums to rich kids, drunks to sobers, and the thin to the obese.

I always had a great time with the guys on campus. I made a lot of great guy friends and dated a few sweethearts. There are plenty of attractive people on campus!

There are lots of guys and girls, and many of them are hotties. It’s funny, because some days, especially when the weather isn’t too nice, you won’t see that many attractive girls. Once that sun comes out, it’s like everyone that’s hot decides to come out and play.

There are a lot of pretty girls at Pitt—a lot. The best place to see them all at once is at the Student Union. Take a break there between classes on a nice day and just admire the view.

Guys Are Cool and the Girls Are Hot

A

Most of the guys i've met are pretty cool although some are tools. The girls are for the most part smoking hot and there isn't too much drama.

Facts

Birth Control Available?

Yes - Pills, patches, the shot, as well as condoms, are available through Student Health Services.

Social Scene

The social scene is largely what you make it. If you want to party, Pitt has plenty of opportunities to do so, every day of the week. Between campus activities, fraternity parties, house parties, and other venues, you can easily be a social butterfly, if that's what you want. The city also offers a good bit in the way of cultural activities and entertainment that isn't school-affiliated. Check local bulletin boards, the City Paper, and online for activity postings.

Hookups or Relationships?

Hookups are more common in your first two years, but relationships tend to happen more in your later years at Pitt.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Hillman Library, for the most studious, as well as lecture classes (labs are helpful), and the cafeterias. South Oakland house parties and frat parties on the Hill seem to be the best place to meet the opposite sex outside of school buildings. For the older crowd, the local bars are packed, especially on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. When the weather gets warm, you can always meet guys and girls who are hanging out on the Cathedral lawn, either studying, tanning, or playing a pick-up game of ultimate Frisbee.

Dress Code

Every style of clothing has its place around Pitt, but some are far more prevalent than others. Tank tops, shorts, and/or jeans for the girls are most popular during the warmer months. Guys tend toward T-shirts or polo shirts and khakis. During the winter, sweats are popular.
