Rating 3.74 out of 5 4,307 reviews
University of Pittsburgh is a great school with many diverse tools students can utilize to get the best out of their time here. From a wide range of studies to a vast option of clubs, University of Pittsburgh allows students to instantly feel connected to the school. In addition, the University of Pittsburgh has fantastic resources especially for Pre-Health related careers. With the UPMC building nearby, you can obtain your medical hours right on campus! You can easily contact a faculty member within the Pre-Health department to discuss the best academic path for you. The campus holds a variety of recreational spots including restaurants, museums, and cafes to study at. However, in the future, I hope to see the university improve their communication with their students regarding Panther Central. Panther Central is Pitt's main communication line where students can ask anything from housing to transportation. Unfortunately, the faculty takes a long time responding to students' emails.
This is a parent review of an incoming freshman…our first one heading off to college for dorm move-in in a few days. I’ve been so impressed by the general communication, responsiveness, onboarding, coordination and resources available for incoming students and parents. It’s all well thought out and fosters a sense of community and belonging even before my daughter sets foot on campus. I hope she is as well connected and cared for after she arrives, and trust she will be. Pitt was love at first sight 18 months ago. We looked at several other schools and there was never a 2nd choice. As we did, my suggestion is to take advantage of the rolling admission, write your essay during the summer, get everything needed and submit your application as early as possible. My daughter was accepted by late September (before any of her friends had even started the process) and never intended to, or needed to apply anywhere else. Hats off to the Pitt admissions team for, IMO, a fantastic job. H2P!
I am a sophmore at this university. I am very grateful for the opportunity to attend a school like Pitt! The urban location, the cultural blend, and the mass amounts of opportunities for adventure is amazing. However, as a Black individual, I have found assimilation into this PWI extremely difficult. Many others have experienced a similiar truth. The actual campus has quite divided ethnic groups, that have clubs that strictly stick together and do not collaborate. Microagressions are pervasive, not only amoung peers but amoung instructors as well. Additionally, factors like hazing, sexual assault, and mental health have consistently been pervasive problems amoung the student body. If the university would thoroughly address such problems instead of gliding over them or blatantly ignoring them, then perhaps my review would be higher. I am not the only one that shares these sentiments and have found myself in quite dangerous - both physically and mentally - situations.
