They do that video every year - and for a parent, 5 hrs away, it really made me so so proud.
Checking back in here to thank everyone for all of the wonderful recommendations. While Pitt is amazing, S19 has decided that it is simply too far away for him at this point. The schools on the finalized list are all within two hours of home. And his top choice is Penn State*.
Again, much thanks to everyone here. Pittsburgh is indeed a great city. And we plan to go back for a longer visit.
*InfiniteWaves backs up slowly and runs away from the Pitt section… 
We are headed to Duquesne next Thursday and Pitt on Friday. Any suggestions on a hotel location. Our tour on Thursday is from 1-3 so we will have time to explore afterwards. The Pitt tour on friday is a Blue & Gold day so it will be most of the day and headed back home after the tour.
@DCNatFan The Hilton Garden Inn University Place is a great option when it comes to visiting Pitt. Might be good to stay near Pitt as you will attend Blue & Gold on Day Two of your visit.
