[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pittsburgh is a great city.  I would move there in a second if I could.   That said, I would never send my kid to Pitt.  Oakland is  terrible, it doesn't have the urban campus feel and there just isn't a lot of identity.  If you are thinking this is something akin to Boston College, Villanova or Georgetown, let me just say that Oakland ain't Chestnut Hill.   In addition, you are looking at a small, fragmented alumni network that isn't going to help you a lot down the road.   All generalizations, of course but that doesn't mean they are without merit.

There are worse places to go to college but if you have options, I would consider them.  [/quote]

No one is making an argument that Oakland is Georgetown or Chestnut Hill! If that kind of setting is a deal-breaker, there are scores of charming, bucolic college towns that fit the bill. Oakland is like Cambridge -- a mishmash of old, new, quirky, collegiate. And what about the alumni network is small and fragmented? [/quote]
