A-
Pitt Is It.
I absolutely love it here. The campus is ideal if you like the urban environment. There's ALWAYS something to do! You can go see a movie, go shopping, eat great off campus food in the South Side Works, a 5 min bus ride away (and you ride the buses free as a pitt student). There are also multiple art museums and the Phipps conservatory which we get free admission to. Pitt has a vast variety of majors, so if you're undecided, this is a great school for you. It's also an accreditted university so whatever major you choose, you'll get a good education. People put Pitt down for being a large school, but I personally like it; it's like a "small world" kind of school, if you know what I mean. You can have a close group of friends then a lot of acquaintances. Also, you can have an embarassing crazy night at a party and you won't be known as "that guy/girl" around campus like you would at a small school. Speaking of parties, Pitt is a bit of a party school. If you like to drink, you'll find good parties at the frats on upper campus as well as good house parties in south oakland. If you don't like to drink that's cool too, I don't find Pitt to be a place where people put pressure on you to drink. As far as activites go, Pitt holds a club fair each semester, which is very eye opening to everything going on. You can also join intramural sports easily,if you aren't at the varisty or even club level. Dorms are also pretty nice at Pitt. If you're a girl, try to live in Holland. It's all girls and no air conditioning BUT the rooms are incredibly spacious. I lived there my freshman year. Towers rooms are very small but there is AC and it's a very social dorm. Both Towers and Holland are the most common freshman dorms and they have the BEST locations on campus. Going back to Pitt's size, even though it's large, you can always find what you need and people to help you. I swear there's a department for everything. Computer Services, Study Abroad Office, Housing Department, etc etc etc. Ok I've rambled on enough. Choose Pitt! HAIL TO PITT!
