University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus Reviews

"Pitt was rigorous academics and had a good party scene, but you had to be active and ask for help if you need it. Help can mean assistance in your studies, or mentorship, but there weren't any great opportunities for extra involvement that were readily available."

"University of Pittsburgh is a great school that is full of diversity and full of opportunities for bright ambitious students to thrive in. I came in with an idea of applying to medical school after graduating with a Bachelor's degree in General Sciences. This idea was challenged many times with the difficulty of classes I had to take, along with the number of students I was competing against, just to stand out. However, if you're a student that knows exactly what you want to do career-wise, it makes it a lot easier down the road financially and emotionally. Pittsburgh has a lot of open doors but if you just need to know what doors you want to open and close. It's a great school to find your calling as there are many students that are figuring out themselves in a new city away from their families.Read Less"

"The University of Pittsburgh's Biological Sciences (B.S.) department sets out to prepare students for medical school. Although I did not pursue medical school I did gain invaluable knowledge of my field and important laboratory skills that aided my ability to get a job right after graduation. The campus and city are exciting and always full of fun activities to take part in."

"The University of Pittsburgh offers many programs to help their students succeed. All professors are required to have office hours and be available to their students. Students can also receive extra help from teaching assistants or visit the Academic Resource center for free tutoring. All professors are highly qualified to teach subjects they are responsible for, however teaching methods vary. Being a student on the pre-med track, Pitt offers many opportunities to gain experience and strengthen resumes for the future.Read Less"

"The University of Pittsburgh is an excellent school. The instructors are very good, however their financial aid department could be a lot better taking in the fact that the school has one of the highest endowments in the country. But the school is extremely well in terms of research opportunities and the abundance of professionals you can work with. The school also has many programs for different people. In terms of ethnicity, the school is not that diverse however they provide many minority programs.Read Less"
