<p>I got into both Penn State and Pitt. I got into PSU as international politics major and Pitt as International and Area Studies even though thinking to change major political science. </p>
<p>I can find some "facts" from other places but I want to hear more real story from students go there and major in those and compare their classes.</p>
<p>Actually Pitt is a large school with a fairly large campus.</p>
<p>I can't give specifics about the major, but academically, these schools are relatively equivalent. The major difference is Pitt is urban, PSU isn't.</p>
<p>Academic differences are negligible. Pitt has great basketball, PSU has great football. Both have big alumni bases, and while PSU's is larger in number, I don't think Pitt's is lacking enough to make your decision based on that alone. </p>
<p>The campuses are very different, so make your decision based on comfort level at each place.</p>
