I'm in a PhD program in the Medical School and teh resources that are available to us fro reseacr are amazing. To any student planning to apply to PITT for a graduate program in Biology or Medicine, do not think twice-APPLY! There's a whole lot of funding (We're 6th on the list of the highest funded institutes nationally) and the standards of research are of the highest quality. True, we may not have Nobel laureates here, but the work that's ongoing, should see at least one over the next couple of years.

Our course work mainly makes us analyze various physiological criteria and we are encouraged to come up with experiments to both analyze and solve the same.

The environment is more suited for a study atmosphere. There are a whole lot of students, what with Carnegie Mellon so close, and a whole lot of students to interact and discuss ideas with.

On the cultural front, there are always things to do: Operas, symphonys, ballets, theater, and the carnegie musuems..

All the best in your quest for a good university!
