Review of University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus
from CHARLOTTE, NC
Describe your college in three sentences.
The University of Pittsburgh is a wonderful school filled with numerous opportunities and various activities to do. The campus is beautiful and the people are great to be around. I truly enjoy the atmosphere around the school and how safe I feel as well.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get out and explore! There's tons to do around the city and a lot of it is close to campus. There's also so many options for food you'll never get bored with choices.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The class level at the University is pretty balanced, classes are tough but not to the point of being discouraging. Class size can be anywhere from about 10 students to 300 depending on subject and material is usually very focused.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life at the University is pretty great, everyone on the floor gets pretty tight and is open to all other floor members. Of course, sometimes situations can get a little tense or people can clique up, but that's how friendships work. You can't expect to get close with everyone!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Dining is pretty straightforward, the food served in the dining hall is pretty good. My only complaint is the repetitiveness of meals and how crowded it gets at certain times where they run out of silverware and seating. Other than that it's pretty good.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Run, got to museums, shop, eat, attend sports events, kayak on the river; There's too much to say since I haven't even experienced it all myself!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
This is a bit of an unusual tradition, but whenever midterms and finals come around, students will rub the Panther's nose for good luck. Its pretty interesting
