University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

The hills. The worst is rushing to class and having to battle an uphill fight, literally. Its even worse if it is hot out and you get all sweaty for class because then it seems like no one wants to sit in the seats near you.

Honestly I truly love my school but the food is awful, so when picking a meal plan you're going to want way less swipes and a lot more dining dollars, and even still you're gonna wanna have money to eat at other places. Also the weather will give you some surprises some days.

It was difficult coming in as a transfer student to the business school because by the time the business students' were in their 3rd year together, my first year coming in as a transfer student, groups of friends had been set and familiarity with certain people was already there. There isn't much of a set campus either so a transfer student commuting did not provide for a good environment to make friends.

The worst part is probably that there is a definite lack of diversity which is something that I feel is an integral part to education: being exposed to other's values and cultures and learning how to live with others who don't share the same background as myself.

The worst thing about my school is also a great thing about my school: it is completely research focused. Pittsburgh as become one of the central hubs in the USA for research. However, it brings some professors here who seem they only teach because they have too.

The worst thing would probably be the very hilly campus.

It is impossible to find a place to study that isn't around a few hundred people

It's very far away from home which will be quite difficult since I haven't ever spent much time away from home. I am the last of four children, so I've always been surrounded by family or at least people I know. Going to PITT would mean knowing no one.

The worst aspects about Pitt are the weather and the hills. The weather tends to lean towards a cold and dark/cloudy forecast. Also, during the winter there tends to be a lot of snow and rain. We do not get to see the sun as much as I would like. Second, the campus is broken into two parts: lower and upper campus and as someone who lives on lower campus it can be tiring and difficult to get to upper campus when need be.

I am the type of person who complains endlessly about things, however, at the end of the day I come to realization that what I have is possibly more than what another person does. Although I was not thriled with the idea of coming to a small campus, I have to come to enjoy my time here and to be grateful for the amazing opportunity I have been given. I have acquired the same skills students in big campuses do, but in a more relaxed fashion. Due to this, I am unable to find the worst thing about my school.

The worst thing about Pitt, besides the dreary winters, is dealing with bureaucracy. Getting permission to complete internships can be a headache because you go from one department to another and nobody seems to be the "right" person to help you. Freshman advising is mediocre, and upperclassman advising is disorganized. Trying to get help with advising and logistical matters can be frustrating.

I think the worst thing about Pitt is that I can't participate in or appreciate all that surrounds me. There are just too many things to do and see at all times of the day/moth/year; at times, even when I'm busy with schoolwork or volunteering or friends or my jobs, its easy to feel like I'm missing out on other opportunities, just because I constantly hear about something new to be involved in or to go do in the city or around campus.

The worst thing about University of Pittsburgh is the weather changes. It can be warm one day, cold the next day and raining right after that.

Occasionally the University will be overly solicitous to the city of Pittsburgh's whims, to the detriment of the students.

I would have to say the worst thing about the University of Pittsburgh is

N/A

It can be hard to get appoinstments with staff/faculty and there's not enough study space.

While the University has many world-class departments, there is a great deal of emphasis on sports and athletics. The city can also be very boring and there is little to do aside from partying on the weekends.
