[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t send my kid there because of the boom. My nephew was a freshman last fall and didn’t have a dorm. He was housed in a hotel, which he ended up liking more because he got free cleaning each week and a private bath. However, there were no dining options. I think my BIL said the university gave those in the hotel a special dining stipend for door dash and Uber eats but it didn’t go far because the fees are so high.

They bused them to campus but the bus was never on time either. He almost missed a big exam when the bus couldn’t make it in some snow and got stuck. Big downside there.

He also had several classes where if you didn’t get there 15-20 mins early, there was no seat. Classes were over-registered. Students paid all that money to take exams on the floor. Crazy.

Give it a few years and the boom will be over. [/b]There are other great safety schools on the Pitt level. [/quote]

NP. Good question. Urban research university with a manageable acceptance rate...Ohio State, Minnesota, Temple and Illinois-Chicago (although I think it's a commuter school). Think NC State is pretty selective OOS w/ limited merit. [/quote]
