I'm a freshmen and I love it here so far! My classes have been challenging but not too intense and I've had SO much fun. There is always something to do in Oakland, whether it's shopping, partying, seeing a game, going downtown or eating at one of the amazing restaurants.

If you're interested in philosophy, COME TO PITT. The program is rated #2 in the country and definitely lives up to its ranking! One of the main draws of Pitt is it's diversity of courses. You can take just about anything you want, from anthropology to geology to film and medieval studies. Some professors are arrogant but overall I've loved my professors! This is a large school so you have to be proactive about your education and come talk to your teachers and sit up front.

Our student union is awesome and there are sooo many things to get involved in. I also love the beautiful campus and how it's got a very urban feel but also is cozy and comfortable.

My only qualms with the university is the advising department, which is weak, and university-bureaucracy sucks! But overall the school really does care about its students and I feel like more than a number here. Come to Pitt if you want an exciting, fast-paced and challenging for years!
