<p>i am a transfer male sophomore assigned to lothrop hall. are there a lot of upperclassman in lothrop</p>
<p>Lothrop is mostly sophomores.</p>
<p>is it an okay dorm</p>
<p>get ready to here a lot of helicopters</p>
<p>FYI prospective students-- most Pitt students have better grammar than what you will see on this board.</p>
<p>Jimmy, so glad to hear that!</p>
<p>Haha maybe so, but at least a tool with a third grade education.</p>
<p>We all enjoy your enlightening responses, surfer.</p>
<p>Yes, many sophomores, but the helicopters going to and from the Children's Hospital nearby will drive you crazy for the first couple of months...</p>
<p>I was there for the pittstart and it was like constant helicopters by Tower A it was crazy.....imagine the people at Lothrop</p>
<p>Believe it or not, you don't really notice them much after a while.</p>
<p>Regarding the helicopter traffic in the Oakland area - Children's Hospital is relocating within the next few months to Bloomfield (about two miles to the north) which should reduce some of aerial traffic.</p>
<p>so what r they gonna do with the childrens hospital</p>
<p>The old Children's Hospital building will become an expansion of the existing UPMC-Presby hospital and more office space for UPMC.</p>
<p>They've put like $650 million into it, it's gonna be crazy.</p>
<p>Children's</a> Hospital of Pittsburgh - New Hospital Campus</p>
<p>US News just published their issue on Children's Hospitals and UPMC Children's did very well in the rankings.</p>
