Alum: I went to CMU for undergraduate and graduate school. As an undergraduate science major, I often had trouble completing my assignments despite being the valedictorian of my high school. Many years later I realized the school was trying to teach us how to problem solve, learn things on our own, and get used to the feeling of being lost. In another word, they were training us to be leaders and pioneers. In hindsight, I wish we had career and academic counselors assigned to each student at CMU so we could talk to someone when we were struggling. Tepper was an entirely difference experience. It was hard work, but I got excellent career support and I didn't feel as lost as I did at Mellon College of Science. My Tepper education went a long way in helping me to pass all three levels of CFA exams on my first try. Thank Goodness! After six years at CMU, I was completely prepared to tackle any projects that came my way. I guess all that hard work was worth it.... Read 1,465 reviews

Senior: Pitt-Greensburg is an amazing small type community campus! There are many benefits to being a student here. There are many types of dorm options available whether you want a traditional dorm style room or more of a private living space with integrative rooms. All of the dorms have free washing services included in living expenses! A student only needs to provide detergent and dryer sheets if they wish. We are also connected to Pitt Oakland in many ways! There are many free transportation opportunities to see football games and even the chance to participate in Pitt's Marching Band no matter what Pitt campus a student attends. There are over 350 travel abroad opportunities as we have the same opportunities Pitt Oakland offers. Thankfully, we have access to just about everything the main campus has. As far as academics go, there are alway new opportunities presented for students, including the development of the new Life Science building! Professors also will know your name here! :)...

Senior: Point Park has been an extremely supportive of all my endeavors here. I initially transferred from Robert Morris, they made the transfer process incredibly easy. All resources are accessible through their website for anything really. My advisor has always been available. I have been able to form meaningful relationships with my professors and department heads, even with online classes. I really cannot think of any other school that compares in flexibility and cost.... Read 1,008 reviews
