[quote=Anonymous]The school seems to have an excellent reputation as far as medicine/heath sciences/engineering goes.  It's better yet if you get instate tuition or a scholarship.

I don't think out of state tuition is really worth it at the University of Pittsburgh.   Many other state schools have better ranked programs and are less expensive.  Pitt is raising tuition for out of state students by 7% this year.   It's a run away train and you can find better elsewhere.  I think Penn State is also doing that. Pennsylvania doesn't fund their public schools well at all.

Schools like Purdue, Maryland, Virginia Tech actually have better engineering programs and computer science programs for less money.  If you are in state and have good programs in-state in these areas, I recommend saving your money.

Indiana, North Carolina, UVA, and Maryland have  a much better ranked business program than Pitt.  Kelley School is far above the Katz Business school, though Pittsburgh alum love to crow about it.

Liberal arts there are meh.  My DC is there now and this area has been a disappointment.   Teachers cancelling class multiple times, English teacher just rambling, etc.  A small liberal arts school might have had better teachers, more learning for the same price, more attention given to a non-engineering or science student.

Just my two cents....
