BU honestly sucked.  It was expensive with crappy teachers, mostly adjunct who couldn't teach.  It was such a huge waste of money.

Most people can thrive at any school they choose to.  I picked Pitt as they were very strong in the major I wanted.  I didn't care as much as clearly you did.  [/quote]

You have no idea what my experience was like, and I am not giving any false information.  YOU appear to have limited experience, though, as demonstrated by your (stupid) false assertion that BC has no campus.  Also, I spent multiple nights at the school you attended with my brothers and high school friends, and you spent no time at the school I attended, and you have no experience of it, so I don't understand how you can dismiss my observations, which are shaped by my experience at both those schools (and BC, of which I know more than you, as you don't even know they have a campus).

Only ONE of my brothers was in a frat.  The other wouldn't have been caught dead doing that, and lived in the dorms, so I really saw both parts of this, and yes, the dorms also had a fratty feel because the student body of Pitt has a fratty feel.  This is not necessarily bad, but it isn't for everyone.  I had high school friends at Pitt as well because much of my high school class went to Penn State or Pitt.

I wouldn't agree with you that "BU honestly sucked", nor would I say Pitt "sucked."  I don't think Pitt is better than BU, though personally I would have preferred BU because I like Boston.  Both Pitt and BU are both OK schools with some good departments; I view them as comparable schools that offer similar quality of education.  And my brothers had plenty of classes taught by grad students at Pitt as well.   One summer I actually attended multiple classes of a course one of my brothers was taking at Pitt (because it was a required core course, and he hated it, and it was a loooong class period because it was condensed for summer school).  He paid me to go and take notes for him.  I was not impressed by the intellectual prowess or ability of the students in that course.  The instructor was excellent, though, and didn't care that I wasn't a Pitt student.

(The class was NOT held in the Cathedral of learning, but in a building I had to access by crossing a suspended pedestrian bridge over...5th Ave?  Forbes?  Not sure, but the building was super ugly.  [/quote]

Do you even put any thought into your posts?  Yes, I looked at Ivy's as my sister went to one and I visited on several occasions.  I didn't like the feel of them but the bigger issues was they didn't have my major or my parents would have paid for one if I got in.  So, yes I have a comparison.

Pittsburgh culture is very different than other places.  It is not a fraternity feel or school nor are the dorms.  It may have been the particular floor or dorm your brother was in but that is not the case at all.  A snob like yourself would not fit into a place like Pitt, just like my sister would not have.  But for others of us it was a great experience and school where there is a little bit for everyone and most kids find their place there.

Are you seriously bragging that your brother paid you to attend his class?  That is so bizarre.  I can't imagine the professor not caring you were not in the class and taking notes for your brother who choose not to attend.

And, I loved 3 hour classes.  Get them done for the week.  I did a lot of them.  I'd take 2-3 per day.[/quote]
