What is it like to come there as an incoming out of state freshman. It is a huge place. How do people go about settling in? What is the party scene like and where is it focused? How much to students to in Pittsburgh? Know anything about the Humanities?
@AFM you probably don’t want to hear from an old parent but here is my 2 cents:
My daughter is from OOS and has found many friends both in-state and OOS. It’s not like everyone knows each other and it’s rough for an OOS student to break in.
The party scene seems to be focused wherever you want it i.e. there were kids who drank IN the dorms and also off campus at parties and got totally trashed regularly. That isn’t my daughter’s scene and thankfully she was able to find plenty of other likeminded friends.
