Travel Disclaimer: Pittsburgh may steal your heart. The city surprises many first-time visitors with over 400 bridges, three rivers, and some areas with houses perched on hillsides like European cities. It has a strong immigrant tradition rooted in its history. Pittsburghers are known for their integrity, work ethic, and innovation. Pittsburgh has all the big-city amenities such as three professional sports teams, an amazing restaurant scene, and a world-class symphony, but retains a personalized mid-size city feel. 

Hail to Pitt: The University of Pittsburgh is situated in one of the most active and diverse areas of the city. Students walking to class pass numerous University of Pittsburgh Medical Center hospital buildings, world-class museums, and tons of fantastic food options! Unique to Pitt students is the walking proximity to universities such as Carnegie Mellon, Carlow, and Chatham. If you want a break from the crowded city environment, Schenley Park is a few steps from the Cathedral of Learning - Pitt’s iconic 42 story skyscraper in the center of campus. Schenley Park has lush green trails and scenery that will make you feel like you are in Runners World’s Magazine.
