[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would any educated person say "Ivy"?

My DS had his aha moment on tour at Pitt. The Cathedral of Learning is really cool. The kids have free city bus passes, lots of ethnicy places to eat in addition to the typical college food. Lots of diversity and real people. He loved his experience and was one of only 2 of his buddies with a real, major-related job at graduation.  And it didn't cost a ton.  It's not for everybody but he loved it. [/quote]

The Cathedral of Learning IS cool.  It is also a very small part of the campus, the rest of which is hideous.  And not all classes take place in the Cathedral, anyway.  Some of the dorms are absolutely disgusting ("Towers", the thing built by a hospital so you can see the ambulance helicopter launchpad from some of the rooms, etc.).

Is having a few classes in the Cathedral going to make up for living in a gross dorm?  [/quote]

The dorms when I were there were nice.  I'm assuming they are remodeled by now.  One dorm was older so it had character but it was far from gross.  It was cool as it was a suite with a few rooms, kitchen and two bathrooms (that they cleaned).  I stayed in the Towers for a year.  I really liked it.   :)  Having classes in the Cathedral was cool.
