[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from Western PA, went to high school in Pittsburgh, and avoided Pitt like the plague since it was the hometown school. I went elsewhere for my freshman year. I went to  GW here in DC--waaaaay too expensive and my dad taught at Pitt so I could go there for free so I finally decided to give Pitt a shot. (GW was actually "free" for me too except for the student loans that I didn't want to be saddled with for years). Best decision ever. I also spent a semester abroad, and that was free too, not because of my dad but because the country I went to was not in huge demand and a scholarship from the Center for Latin American Studies covered tuition, room and board.

I did not live on campus though. Housing is much cheaper in Pittsburgh than in DC.[/quote]

Pitt is urban, but Pittsburgh is a small city, so it isn't truly urban experience if that is what your child is after.

Pitt is really strong in any medical related fields.  You would want to go to CMU for engineering though.

There are a lot of commuters, most people move off campus after the first year, mostly people from PA.  The closest city to Pittsburgh is DC, (well Cleveland, I guess).

I don't think it has a lot of national recognition.

There is an honors college.[/quote]
