I went to UPG for two years. It started as

It's NO problem to transfer to main
but trust me, it's a HUGE lie. They kept raising the standards every year to make it more difficult to go to main. Their curriculum is also DIFFERENT than main campus so you think you are prepared and some classes don't even transfer! Also they want to be an independent college (hence the cougar vs panther mascot) but complain ALL the time that they don't get the funding from Pitt.

The advisors were TERRIBLE. They were rude and didn't HAVE a clue of what classes were needed. If you are going for a science major you need to get things done on a proper time scale, so don't count on them to do that for you. I literally had to walk in there and know EXACTLY what I wanted or they would try to "fill" you into classes that looked empty…I am not kidding. I even obtained a copy of my transcript record that including classes I never took while others were missing!!! Be prepared because the advisement is a JOKE!

The villages are such a joke too! No one socializes and you think you get to do all these cool things but they end up being a chore than fun. The villages apartment suites are wonderful and private but only expect to see your roommates in passing because everyone shuts their door. Then on the weekend everyone leaves and if you don't have a car you are left isolated from the world.

There is NOTHING within walking distance unless you walk a mile through the woods and end up in South Greensburg. Without a car you will have to beg other people to take you places. And lastly, everyone graduated with each other from high school so if you are out of the area forget about making a lot of new friends !

However, UPG is a BEAUTIFUL campus. Most teachers I encountered were wonderful and intelligent! All the library and cafeteria staff were really personable and sweet! If BJ is still there she even remembers your name! Small class sizes do work to an advantage but also limits how much that class is available. Another down side is that if you don't like a teacher in your department you will more than likely have them several times.

Please visit before you go there! I didn't and it was the biggest mistake I made.
