University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Reviews

"This university has a great campus with a lot of really cool historical buildings and a thriving student social population. They've recently renovated their library, and offer a lot of genuinely good and useful amenities for their students, like healthcare, an on-campus pharmacy, plenty of places for students to gather, free bus passes, free museum passes, and multiple places to eat.That being said - there are no grocery stores on campus. If you want to shop for food, you have to go to an overpriced convenience store on campus or bus off campus. Many students complain that admin is more interested in keeping investors happy than prioritizing the needs of the students, and some of the facilities around campus are fairly old. However, the classes are good, the professors like working there, and many of the students genuinely enjoy their time at Pitt. It's not a perfect school, but no school is.Read Less"

"University of Pittsburgh is nothing more than a corporate money making machine. Their priority is to siphon as much funds as they can from unassuming and debt-ridden students. Such institution is commonplace among American universities, and Pitt is no exception. However, qualms aside, Pitt does offer high quality, liberal instruction. More could have been done to support their students and alumni."

"The University of Pittsburgh is well-run and well organized school. The school offers an array of majors, minors, and certificates. Not only are there great academic offerings, but amazing extracurricular activities as well. Pitt's campus is beautiful, especially with the Cathedral of Learning right in the middle of campus, which has a rich and interesting history. Highly recommend this university."

"Attending the University of Pittsburgh was the best choice I've ever made. Attending college is all about finding your identity, and the faculty at Pitt does all it can to help you find yourself. Going to school in the city of Pittsburgh (and more specifically in the borough of Oakland) was everything I could have imagined. And on top of everything else, the amount of school spirit displayed throughout campus (as well as exhibited by both the faculty and by my fellow students) brought me a sense of honor to attend this great university.Read Less"

"During my four-year undergraduate career, the University of Pittsburgh offered me everything I wanted, and even more that I didn't know I needed. Not only was the student body composed of driven and excited learners, but the campus was built around ensuring that all students prospered. The advising help was phenomenal and even helped me decided my career path and get accepted to a doctorate program after graduation! My professors were spirited about the curriculum and evidently well-versed in everything they taught. There is nothing about my undergraduate career here at Pitt that I wasn't satisfied with.Read Less"

"Pitt is a great school if you are interested in research - it's the research hub of western PA. The social scene is a bit scary if you've never lived in a big city, and classes are huge until you declare your major and specialize. Overall, this was a good learning experience but I am glad I went there only in hindsight. The name "Pitt" has given me more opportunities than my actual experience there. It was only in my last years when I studied what I really liked and got to know professors on a higher level did I somewhat like my undergraduate experience.Read Less"
