[quote=Anonymous]My hs senior was accepted at Pitt but has decided to go elsewhere.  We know 2 students from N Virginia that go there and love it.  One will be spending next year studying abroad in Berlin.  I recommend you attend one of Pitt's Open House days....more in-depth than the campus tours, very well-organized and informative.  We were not expecting to like Pitt as much as we did after the Open House.  My DD is interested in the medical field and Pittsburgh seems to be full of opportunities in that field.  Some of the reasons for not choosing Pitt included the OOS tuition with low merit aid, no offer of admission into the guaranteed graduate program (PA), the high percentage of students from Pennsylvania (don't know the # but my impression is ALMOST everyone is in-state).  The campus itself didn't seem gritty, and is right next to Carnegie Mellon and Chatham.  But I wouldn't call it picturesque. The freshman dorms are in high rise buildings, 17 floors.  For my DD, who grew up in suburban N Virginia, the urban campus seemed cool.  But it's certainly a different type of campus from UVA, where she will be going in the fall.[/quote]
