[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was admitted to both last year (honors programs with merit aid in both cases). I thought he would like Pitt because of the location- it feels like a college town. He just did not like it. I am not sure why - if I had to guess, the emphasis on school spirit/sports at the accepted students presentation might have turned him off. Otoh he came back from the UMD accepted students day full of enthusiasm. I can’t tell if the OP’s child is trying to decide between the two but I hope your child has an opportunity to get a feel for both places so they can get a sense of whether it would be a good fit. They are both good schools. [/quote]

Pitt fells like a college town?  I never thought I would hear someone say that.[/quote]

I suspect PP has never been to Pitt. [/quote]
Actually did go last year after ds was accepted. Spent a couple of days staying near campus. Saw lots of Upitt and CMU students in the local restaurants. Visited the Carnegie museum of natural history which is walking distance from campus. It is not Boston but it does feel like there are a lots of students living in the same area and there are interesting things to do right off campus. [/quote]
