[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again: Pitt is also high on her list. How do the two schools compare with respect to these issues? Homelessness/crime, weed-out classes, collaborative vs competitive feel, school spirit? I read a few PP who had experience with both schools. Thanks![/quote]

Pittsburgh doesn't have a homeless issue except for a few parts of downtown and I've never had any issues with aggression. Oakland is very safe and there are lots of students around. As with any urban school, exercise caution at night and be aware of surroundings, but Pittsburgh neighborhoods have a very residential feel and the area around the school is and feels very safe. I think Pitt feels more collaborative than cut-throat, although STEM and engineering and CS classes are as challenging as they would be at any big school. School spirit is there, although maybe not as much as at really big schools with big football programs and not much else to do. It's definitely an option for students and fun to do.[/quote]
