[quote=Anonymous]I hope you get some Black Pitt families to respond to you, but I have lived in Pittsburgh for nearly 30 years, and I have a grad degree from Pitt.

Everything others have said is basically true. Pittsburgh has come a long way in the time I’ve been here, and it really is a Meds and Eds city now (with some fairly significant finance and banking as well). As a side note, it is far easier to find a decent meal here now. It’s not NYC or DC, but there is more diversity in cuisine now.

I know so many people who have sent their kids to Pitt, and very few have regrets. Many of them are admittedly on the faculty or staff of Pitt so the free tuition may be tempering their sentiment, but it truly does seem that Pitt grads love their school. People here are worried about cuts to research funding, though. Pitt and CMU are a huge chunk of the local economy.

It’s downtown, but you might want to drop by the August Wilson Center to learn not just more about Pittsburgh’s famous playwright, but Black history and culture in Western Pennsylvania. [/quote]
