[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD suffered through 4 years. She did not enjoy college and was happy to graduate. With that said, she got a job and is excelling. Most of her friends felt similarly. It’s just a really hard school and the location isn’t great. She will not make the same mistake for grad school.[/quote]

Why do you say that about the location? My kid is considering Pitt, which is right next to CMU, and the location seems good to us - near several colleges, seems pretty vibrant. Thanks![/quote]

I have a freshman daughter at Pitt. She is happy. Having too much fun, if that’s possible (still keeping up with class work, though). LOVES Pitt.

Can’t relate to PP who says food is only ok in Pittsburgh. Dining halls suck, but check out Butterjoint for pierogies by campus, etc - I can’t actually list all the awesome restaurants here. But students won’t be dining out at that level anyway.

The Pitt side of Oakland is definitely vibrant and fun. DD says she has met a number of CMU students - all athletes. She says they all come to Pitt places, because there are no CMU places. The CMU athletes she has met only hang out with other athletes and Pitt students - they find their classmates to be really intense and/or socially weird. They (the CMU athletes) are not happy with the school.

In contrast, Pitt students are overall really happy. School spirit is high, social life is great. They find Pittsburgh to be really fun. Strong recommend.[/quote]
