[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a first-year at Pitt and is meh on it so far. They had visited but feel like the area, including the off-campus housing they're looking at for next year is quite run down and the city is not very attractive. They regret not picking their other top choice which has a more traditional campus but was in the middle of nowhere. DC thought they wanted a city.

They are satisfied with their classes and professors and have made some friends. There are a lot of available clubs and the new gym facility is amazing. The food, as others have mentioned, is not a high point. Not sure if this year's big incoming class (4.5% increase) is the new normal.

I would agree that it seems like the student body is full of good, down-to-earth kids. I didn't think the school did very much to facilitate getting to know people or building community during their welcome week. The only thing the floor did was walk to orientation together and in many of the dorms, there are no longer lounges because of the overcrowding. [/quote]
