Pitt reminds me of Wisconsin-Madison, but more contained[/quote]

I've never been to UVA, but I give Pitt and Delaware high marks. (And they have some commonalities.)

I would recommend either of these schools to any kid. Pitt blew up in popularity thanks in part to its rolling admissions. A lot of DCUMers use it as a safety school.

In my opinion, it's got everything -- nice campus in a city on the rebound. A little bit of an urban feel, but not nearly as much as Temple, PA's other urban state-supported school. FABULOUS medical community, with abundant opportunities for clinical placements, shadowing, etc. Fun vibes with a solid academic core. No negatives. (Well, the weather, but I don't care about weather.)

Delaware is somewhat similar. It attracts a LOT of smart kids who want something less rah-rah than Penn State, but maybe aren't getting into Maryland or UVA. Very pretty campus, a cute Main Street of restaurants, strong and growing scientific reputation. Good diversity of majors.

Both have Greek life, but don't feel dominated by it.

I really like both of these schools and would be proud to send a kid there!

I agree! Pitt is absolutely a hidden gem. [/quote]
