Pitt is worth a visit. On its grounds are the Cathedral of Learning and Heinz Chapel which is gorgeous. It has a wonderful library and is in a lovely neighborhood. The new stadium is also worth seeing. Pitt provides an excellent education.
I know this is no Ivy League but the campus does have some architecturally interesting buildings and nice green spaces. I came here for the Carnegie museum to be honest, but I found the campus alright and really appreciated the free wifi. There are a good range of places to eat too. As I said, it's no Ivy league, but it's ok in all honesty
With such regal looking buildings and structures around, this is a nice place to just walk about and take it all in.
Our daughter had a great experience as an engineering major. She loved Pitt (well, maybe not the winter weather). She learned a lot, met good friends, and thought the city was very college friendly. She still lives there several years after graduation.
The centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh is the magnificent Cathedral of Learning. Just spend an hour wandering around the commons realm and look into the Nationality Rooms. Each is unique, and each is an actual classroom! Tip, they do offer guided tours of both the Nationality Rooms and the campus for interested students.
The tour of the college was excellent. Buildings are beautiful, people friendly, and choices for students excellent. A great place to send your child to school. Clean, abundant with activities, and an excellent chance for an education.
My son goes to Pitt, and this is a great school in the heart of a town setting. Pitt is situated in Oakland, right next to the Medical Center, and very close to Carnegie Mellon University.A lot to do at this school. Guaranteed not to be bored.
If you are looking for an excellent university in a metropolitan area, look no further. Pitt was very impressive, from the grounds to the buildings to the students we met.
So much to see and do there. Parking is horrible, but there are some public ramps. Big charges, and some of them aren't open on weekends.
My son was visiting PItt, Duquesne and Bucknell on this college tour. Pitt, mostly because is his good friend did early admission there. After the tour, my son said PItt was in his top three and very close to the top! University of PIttsburgh feels more like a private school and than a state school.
