[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a son at Pitt as well.  I have no idea what a "bro" quotient is but DS has never complained that it's too high.  He scored an apartment-style "on campus" dorm his sophomore year and jr year he moved into his off campus frat house that was closer to his classes than his on campus room.  As for the difficulty getting classes, his 3 sibs have similar reports, all from different colleges.  He really likes Pitt and loves living in the city.  [/quote]

Some kids want to go to quiet schools with no frats, there are few parties, and where no one cares about either college or professional sports.  That's what I meant by "low bro quotient."  Pitt's not that kind of place. It's a big school where there's something for everyone, but kids looking for a quieter atmosphere might not feel comfortable, for example, in the Litchfield Towers dorms.  Not a put-down - just a response to the question about possible negatives.  As noted, it's all about fit.  What sold my kid on the school during the tour was probably the combination of how friendly everyone was, the Cathedral of Learning, and how much there was right there in Oakland. [/quote]
