[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Super impressed with Pitt, more so than we anticipated. Great school with smart and social kids. I love the integration of the campus and the city where it still feels very much like a college town. And then there's the beautiful gothic Cathedral, the hilly landscapes, the 3 rivers, and you add to that all the stuff you can do (concerts, games, hiking, kayaking, etc.); it's really hard not to like it.

We toured it a couple of weeks ago and felt the same way. DS and I both loved it. [/quote]

I just don't get how people love the Pitt campus.  Nor does my wife.  I have been on the tour twice.  My son is a freshman at Pitt and he [b]loves[/b] it.  He isn't alone.  Everyone that we know that goes there or has gone there loves it.  We are huge Pitt fans now because of the experience that our son is having.

My kid went to Pitt; I don't think the main campus is "amazing".  I've certainly seen more impressive self-contained campuses.   What makes Pitt interesting (IMO) is that it's a defined campus in the middle with the cathedral that transitions into the city.   You get the feel of a central college campus but the city, busses, museums etc are right there.  If a kid likes living in a city it's a great choice.  My kid loved it.[/quote]
