Housing options

<p>So I've been accepted to Pitt, along with 2 of my friends. We all go to the same HS and will try and room together if we all go to Pitt. Is Sutherland Hall the only opportunity available for triples (we're all guys btw)? And any reviews of Sutherland? I've heard mixed reviews about it and I've heard good things about Towers, but to the best of my knowledge I don't think you can do triples at Towers. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>This link will tell you what you need to know. This year Sutherland is mostly athletes (East) and Honors (West). If you search on Sutherland you’ll find lots of posts on it and all of the dorms. My son loves Sutherland Honors housing and you have to apply to get in. </p>

<p>Sutherland Hall doesn’t have “triple” housing. It is suite style, with rooms that accommodate 2, 4, 6, or 8 people. Towers A and B are doubles, and Tower C is a single. I think 2/3 of the lounges in Towers are converted rooms right now, with 4 people to a lounge-room. There are no 3-person rooms for freshman, at all. </p>

<p>Another thing about Sutherland is (as TitanMom said) it’s athletic housing and honors housing. So unless you and your friends are UHC students/apply to live in UHC housing, you can’t simply pick Sutherland as a housing choice (you are limited to Towers and Lothrop).</p>

<p>I’m also going to be the devil’s advocate and say: Don’t even room with your friends! I think it would be a really good experience for you guys to live with and try to meet new people, instead of making college high school 2.0. A good intermediate option would be to pick the same dorm to live in, but not pick each other as roommates. Sometimes, the best friendships can be ruined by living with someone…</p>
