Does anyone actually go there though? Or everyone just uses it as a safety?

Where are getting this information about the housing guarantee? The Pitt website still says three years. https://www.pc.pitt.edu/housing-services/faq


In the acceptance letter.


Interesting. I wonder if existing students are grandfathered. My daughter is a freshman at Pitt and we haven't been notified of this change.


Don't use this terminology. It is from slavery.


NP. Did not know that.




The PP is correct that we shouldn't use this term, but it's not exactly "from slavery." It's related to poll tests (literacy tests, etc.) aimed at disenfranchising Black men in the post Civil War era. Because those tests would also potentially disenfranchise White men, the law said that if your grandfather was allowed to vote, you were automatically eligible. Because most Black men had grandfathers who had been enslaved and, thus, not allowed to vote, only White men were "grandfathered" into their voting rights.


Yikes! Is there a generally known term that replaces it?


Yes "inherited"


"Are the current Pitt sophomores inherited in to the current housing rules?"
That doesn't make much sense. It's not something they inherit.

I think merit started 10/15 last year. Thinking Honors might be different this year since there’s no essay (and presumably many more to look at?)

Pitt is really hard to get into. It’s considered an R1 research institute.
