Quite Bright
Literally, the worst school you could attend. Titusville is one of the worst places around, the people aren't friendly and take advantage of the welfare system. There is nothing to do except sit in your dorm room and drink. Speaking of the dorm builds they are old, outdated, and disgusting. The communal bathrooms are so repulsive you'll think you walked into a truck stop. The teachers teach and offer little help. The faculty try there best to keep you at the campus for as long as possible. The worst of the worst students get placed here causing drama and fights. So bad to the point were two of my female friends were attacked by an angry male student which resulted in a court date. Not on my agenda of things to do my freshmen year of college. The RA's try to get everyone in trouble since the school is so small and there is a 40% drop out rate. If I could do it all again I would have chose a different branch campus. Do not come to UPT.

Super Brilliant
The University of Pittsburgh in general is a very good college. One of the best schools for the arts and sciences, medicine and psychology. However, the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville (UPT, Pitt-Titusville) is not. 90% of the freshman that do enter UPT are very excited to attend and are satified up to September. Then there on they wish that they have no attended UPT. The Upper-classman are trying so hard to transfer off that campus. In every instance, the decision is always one or two. Keep continuing to go to Pitt or transfer to another University. UPT is known to the students as the prison. No matter how hard you try, no matter how good your grades are the students CANNOT get out. Someway UPT is also known as the "money making stealers."

The community is also the "red necked part of Pa," most of the town is raciest and bar happy. The mojority of the students strongly dislike UPT.

1) If you exceed 1GB a day (1000MB) your internet WILL be shut down for one week and a $50 fine will be applied to your account.

2) The UPT library is limited during the weekends. Your stuck in Spruce Hall or Ball Hall. Spruce Hall is the worst on campus.

3) Roles are Roles. It is by the rules that during midterms and finals week that ALL resident halls are under a 22 quiet hours role. That never happends. 4) There are 40 teachers at UPT, one or two of them will actually give you the time for some one on one teaching. In all honesty, UPT should be shut down. Ive been there for four years with solid grades and I have yet recived any degress nor I took anything with me from UPT.
