I transferred out of the University of Pittsburgh… it was a tough decision, but one that needed to be made. First off, the climate is terrible. I forgot the sun existed while at school. Most students fall into a deep depression during the winter (which lasts for a while), and never come out of that depression because the clouds continue to dump rain and block the warmth and happiness of the sun. anyone that says their school has bad weather is lying… boston, eastern pa, ny state cannot compare to the cloudy days of pittsburgh. second, the city of pittsburgh is unsafe, crime ridden, dirty, but a big improvement from the past. the students are you're typical homebody pennsylvanians (pa sucks, might i add), but friends i made my first year were good friends and i continue to keep in touch which them now that i've transferred. and of course, third, the school itself isn't that great. pitt is renowned for its grad schools (med, rehab sci, law, public health, etc.). pitt is not renowned for its undergrad. and for good reason. overall, ive made good friends, but friends should not be the only reason to attend a college. good luck to you all who search for the right school.
