I went to Pitt for a year and a half and didn't really like it. The city just wasn't a fit for me, the climate was dreary, the campus was pretty small and isolated, the housing isn't very nice, the food was pretty bad, and whole feel of the place was just depressing. There isn't much to do on weekends unless you party, and the city is pretty dull unless you're over 21. I did meet some good friends there but many of them transfered to other schools for the same reasons I'm citing. As a result I now go to PSU Main and love it. The campus is much greener, the overall atmosphere is a lot better, and there's just more to do. I would heavily advise any student thinking about going Pitt to really think about it before he/she makes a bad decision. Don't fall into the same trap I did. City life isn't necessarily as glamorous as you think it'll be.
