University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Monica

It is in a beautiful location and offers me a new and diverse cultural experience as well as many internship and career opportunities. I have lived in Arizona my whole life and am ready for something new. This school offers that to me. I am also a very hard worker and I feel like PITT gives me the opportunity to display my skills and presents me with many occasions to learn new ones.

You can get a really good education here. You will be challenged and have to work to learn and get good grades.

I consider the flexibility of my department to be the best thing about my school. I have been able to pursue a lot of different opportunities, like study abroad, because of my advisors' commitment to providing me with the most fulfilling academic experience.

Michelle

I just transfered to the school but so far the best thing is that everyone here loves the school. I have yet to hear someone say that they don't like it here or that they want to be anywere else. It makes me feel like i made a good choice in coming here and I know that I'm going to love it here just as everyone else does.

My advisor and professors. Both are well qualified and do nothing but look out for me.

We've got one landmark that no one else does - our 40-floor gigantic building called the Cathedral of Learning. It looks just like you imagine the beautiful cathedrals of England to be, except tall, skinny, and secular. The architecture and atmosphere inside is awesome, especially on the first floor in the common room, which is open 24 hours for students to study. The view from the higher floors is magnificent, and you will definitely have a couple classes there in your time at Pitt. If you're lucky, the class might be in one of the cathedral's "nationality rooms" - rooms decorated to with aspects of the culture and architecture of a certain country.

The cathedral of learning. It's one of the tallest and nicest academic buildings in the country. They have these really nice (and expensive) nationality classrooms (google it, there's lots of info). However, I hate having class there because the desks are cramped, and they blast the heat really high, making the room uncomfortable. Another thing that makes Pitt's campus unique is that it is so close to other schools (CMU and Duquesne). Besides that, not much.
