[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've got a kid here, and he loves it.

It's got good academics, but is not a place where kids seem stressed (the downside of that I suspect is that non-motivated kids could just do the bare minimum to get through).  Lots of really strong majors.

It's big, and has something for everyone, whether they are frat bros, sports fans, science geeks, or artists.  My child has discovered several subject areas that he has unexpectedly enjoyed, and is now in a major that he did not foresee.

Location is great - the Oakland neighborhood is safe and fun, and the city as a whole has tons more and is a perfect size for kids on their own for the first time.

And, as others have noted, it is a school that is trying hard  - to provide a good experience for students, and to recruit more good students to attend.

I know this thread is 4 years old...but... I dropped off my DD at Pitt two days ago.   She is in a fabulous dorm on a fabulous campus in a wonderful city.   There are so so so many welcome week activities this week. Pitt is really doing everything to make them feel welcome.   She went to a pep session yesterday for the 4000 freshman complete with T-shirts and a diversity  session today.

We couldn't be more pleased!

I'm really glad my child ended up at Pitt.[/quote][/quote]
