I attended Pitt and absolutely LOVED my experience. I feel like I had a generally more positive experience than these girls but to each their own. My four years in Pittsburgh have definitely made an amazing impact on me!
I'm going to Pitt this fall and I am actually really grateful for the honest opinions coming from you guys!!!! Not gonna say that my unrealistic hopes and fantasies were destroyed, but now I kind of know what to expect :)
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me
@@malakaiissac5819 Nah bro you fucked, I created mine when I was drunk and I usually link it to my phone number or google email yet I didn't for either and there is no way to get it back.
Being a current Pitt student I disagree with almost all of this, I know all student's feelings are different but there are a lot of great opportunities and organizations on campus. Pitt has huge school spirit half the city basically shuts down on game day and the campus is very active. Towers is also a very good option for housing being the most popular housing option for freshman. If perspective students are watching this to decide whether to chose Pitt, this is not an accurate description I would definitely do your research and go on a tour
just for reference i got in their biology major with a 3.68uw and 3.86 weighted gpa, but college application process is really random and it depends @@soappy_
@@soappy_ Not the original person, but I got in with a 3.6 unweighted GPA, 6 APs, an internship I did in high school, a volunteer experience, and 5 extracurriculars. You don't need to be at the top of your class, just be a well-rounded student. I'm currently a rising senior at Pitt
Same, I’m 15. Older brother went to college in Pittsburgh and told me all about the area and the school. Would love to go to Pitt and play sports and get my education there.
Thank you for being so honest & thorough! Some of this like the weather & nightlife worries me, but it’s still ok, and I know different people have other experiences.
i’m going to pitt in the fall and i’m super excited! i’ve lived in pittsburgh my whole life, so i’m used to the weather (that’s mostly what you guys hated haha) also i HIGHLY recommend visiting the mattress factory!! i go at least twice a year and it’s by far the best museum in the city
I've lived this area my whole life lol and the weather isn't bad. Its a blessing. Its called water and sun is out half the time so great. And no college cares about YOUR degree. Thats all 4 year schools. Money over you.
I agree! Every university puts profit before helping others, but Pitt is extremely helpful in assisting with everything that you need to achieve your degree! I thought a lot of this was very negative.
lived on upper and lower campus. experiences are drastically different. i'd recommend lower campus.. towers/quad freshmen year just to be in the middle of everything.
thank you, this was very helpful! but now i'm a little worried if i made the right choice to go there in the fall. pitt is my safety school too and cost factored heavily in my decision :/
hey, it is what it is! you’re making a financial decision too when it comes to college so if this was your best option then make the best of your time here! if there’s anything I regretted about Pitt, it’s letting my own attitude towards the cold hold me back - don’t go in with that mindset that you could be somewhere else 💛
@@magic1058 That's a complicated question. In my opinion, there are certain situations that can affect this decision. Let's say, you want to have just a bachelor's degree. if the degree you receive unlocks greater earning potential, the price tag may be worth it. In fact, you may be able to pay off your tuition even faster than you would if you attended a less expensive school and earned less as a result. I hope it helps, but there really isn't a right or wrong answer to that question. It all depends on you.
OG Pitt alum here. Lots of changes since my time there. I feel like Leadership made some poor choices that undermined some of the positives I experienced. For one school spirit - moving to the ACC and discontinuing the Backyard Brawl with WVU was a mistake. They chased football money but Pitt was elite in hoops the entire time I was there and for a while after (RIP Big East 🥺). No slouches at football either. Although the park across the street from the Library is nice - the food trucks and Scottie selling glizzies on the corner was great too. Gave Oakland a more urban vibe. Club Laga was dope - got to see the Roots, Wu Tang, and Nas right on campus. The O (Original) was popping all night and the Reggae Parties at Ginza and Cozumel used to hit. Cumpies, Pittsburgh Cafe, and India Garden used to go and then you had the Shadow Lounge in East Lib too. Towers Lobby, Chesterfield parties, Mad Mex, Matrix, the clubs in the Strip District, Carson Street…good time man 🎉. People used to lay out on the lawn of Soldiers and Sailors. The best part was the rest of the city though!
I should say academically that Pitt got me ready for the world. I was a Bio/Chem major Africana Studies minor. My brother and I both got connected with our first employment opportunities through Pitt too. Had a nice undergraduate research resume by the time I graduated and Pitt still gets respect on my resume to this day. Def not the choice for best weather but I wouldn’t trade my time there for anything!
I realize that was a LONG time ago, but I agree with your honest assessments of the U. and of the city. I loved both. Running in Schenley Park was one of my favorite things to do. I went on to grad school in the PhD program in Chemistry at CalTech, and left there with a master's degree in Chemistry (working in a neuroscience lab) before earning a PhD in Anthropology at UC San Diego, where I now work. So Pitt really launched me. The weather is much better in San Diego, of course, but my loyalty to Pitt is higher than my loyalty to the other two schools.
This is a very negative outlook on the university. Pitt has many opportunities. They can help you network with many big industries such as Google and UPMC. The staff is extremely helpful. Pitt also has a lot of school spirt, people trace from everywhere to see these games. I feel like these girls just had a bad experience and this video is a reflection of that.
They were honest, and this is the most important. Everybody has different opinion. Thera are some other videos on TH-cam with different people and different points of view. All people are welcome to check out other videos. But the best is probably to visit the place.
Litchfield Towers was a bit small, but I loved living there. In a Double Frosh Year and loved my roommate (still my friend). Tower C Single Sophomore Year, and a bunch of friends lived there as well.
I’m considering Pitt but how do you feel about the professors ? Also do you feel like it’s easy to talk to advisors to obtain a interenship? And which dorms do freshmen typically live in?
I don't mean to sound rude but obviously what you guys want to enjoy in a city or urban university is partying, big school, easy classes, etc. living in this city my whole life and going to Pitt was literally a dream. The weather isn't as bad as you make it, there's TONS of things to do around the city and in it, mount Washington never gets old, and you need to actually spend more than 4 years here to understand that. you obviously just want your degree and that's it if you get all this from Pitt. if you want an honest review of Pitt, watch pat Gardner.
lmao i’m in dental school. if you think partying and easy classes is a must for me, ur tweaking. but to each their own, i personally found the weather depressing and mt washington boring after one visit and have been much happier with the sites and weather here in LA
It’s so true Pitt and our proud city ride or die, you don’t but that’s you. I love Schenley or 🟦and gold 🤛 and I loved the Academics and everything our school offered. I know we aren’t Notre Dame or Penn St, but I loved Oakland and til the day I die H2P
Hi. I am so sorry to bother you after all these years. I am accepted to Pitt and Penn State for Bioengineering or Biomedical Engineering. Which would you recommend?
me a 4th year at uc berkeley watching this with no intention of going to pitt 👁👄👁. HAHA it's very interesting to hear about tho & i appreciate y'alls perspective :,)
@@frroossst4267 omg first of all CONGRATS on getting accepted !!! secondly, I made an account on the Upitt portal thing, like they emailed me to create it, but I have no idea where I will see the decision that they made, its confusing me so much haha.
my tour guide was a transfer student and said she had an amazing experience. her professors helped her via office hours and she was able to make friends easily.
Do you know of any programs at Pitt around entrepreneurship!? I heard they have one of the largest pitch competitions and they give 100K in cash prizes to Pitt students each year.
I just subscribe your channel and my future college is Pittsburgh University and hope that I can get in this college because it's really important for me because I have family living Pittsburgh so yeah
I am a little bit late to ask that question but I am planning an exchange year in the USA. The only 2 choices my university in Germany gives me are university of Pittsburgh and Murray university :( now I don't know which one to choose, I mainly want to do an exchange year because I want to experience the American college life and experience some college parties. Do you have any advice for me ? :)
Hi!!! I’m stumbling across this video right now. I’m a senior in the college app process and I have a Pitt question: if I manage to get accepted to Pitt honors, but want to live in the Litchfield towers, can I opt out of the honors housing but continue to be an honors student? Asking because my possible roommate did not apply to the honors college. Thanks, love this video!
Is upitt using the system where u have to compete to get into a major as a pre something? I got accepted into the business school and I think i was directly admitted.
Not sure Pitt specifically but generally yeah, describe your situation and provide documents that would support your appeal if you have them (ie tax forms, offers from other schools, etc). Email the office of financial aid and CC your regional admissions counselor. www.savingforcollege.com/article/how-to-appeal-for-more-financial-aid-for-college
hey!! if you guys remember, where did you find your acceptance letters. I made a portal but I don't know where exactly the decision comes out, would they email you? it's just a bit confusing haha. Also I know its rolling admission so it should come out soon. You guys are awesome!! a lot of helpful tips.
This may seem out of topic, but do you guys know about the cruel animal experiments conducted by Pittsburgh? What are your thoughts about it? Search it on TH-cam to know more...

You're a Pitt grad! Hail to Pitt! (CGS (Chemistry) 1986). Now living in San Diego.
