<p>Just be happy you’re on campus. Some Pitt students are ending up in the Wyndham Hotel on Forbes. I guess it’s still on campus, technically. But it’s definitely not official student housing.</p>

<p>I recently got accepted into the nursing program and I was having trouble figuring out where would be the best to room my freshman year. I was told Lothrop is good for nursing students but I also heard it can be loud from the helicopters and there’s no AC. My other choices were towers A B or C or Holland. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>My D is in Holland and it also is not air conditioned, but it has ceiling fans and she finds it very comfortable. </p>
<p>Just a word to the wise- there is no guarantee that you get your preferred housing. Holland houses 600 freshman women so there is about a 1/3 chance that you will get Holland regardless of your choice. </p>

<p>Anywhere on campus will be “loud from the helicopters”. I lived way off at Forbes Hall and would here them. You get used to it really quickly. I’ve lived in an apartment with no AC since sophomore year and it’s honestly not a big deal. It sucks for the first 2-3 weeks and then it cools down and you don’t need the AC anymore anyway. </p>
<p>Lothrop really is best for Nursing students. It’s close to most of your classes and buildings , and that will be great in the winter when it’s cold and miserable out and you don’t want to walk far, or up a huge hill. Plus, a lot of your fellow Nursing students will be living in Lothrop so it will be a lot easier to get together to study and what not.</p>
