Daughter got her housing assignment this morning. One of the towers. Which everybody is mad about except me. LOL.
Daughter’s friend also got assigned to Tower B and was not assigned the rommate she requested even though they both requested each other.
I got my housing assignment but does anyone know how to tell if we have been admitted to an LLC? I applied to the Health Sciences LLC and also put a backup LLC on the application yet I do not see any mentioning of whether I was admitted to it or not on the notification. It just lists the building as tower B along with the bed space.
My friends D also got assigned a tower without the roomate she requested and its also a single room. She is very upset because she will be with upperclassmen and away from the other freshman including the roommate she requested. Pitt doesn’t seem very flexible with this. Does anyone have any advice for her??
ok I was wrong… she is in an isolated residence hall away from all freshman…not in towers. Lortheop Hall. Any advice on how to switch?
I wouldn’t call it isolated. Lothrop is only about 2-3 blocks west (~ 0.2 miles if you walk the street grid) of the Towers, Nordenberg Hall, and Schenley Quad and about two blocks up the hill from Forbes Hall, and about three blocks down from the upper campus dorms. There are other first year students in Lothrop. There’s a nice benefit to having a sink in your room. I stayed there as a freshman many years ago and was thankful to do so. It is especially convenient if you are at all involved with the health sciences or any research labs in the medical center.
There’s almost nowhere on the campus that you aren’t a 10 minute to less than 15 min walk to another point on campus. The most extremely distant points on campus that I can think of…say Trees Hall student gym on the northwest corner of upper campus to Frick Fine Arts or Bellefield Hall on the southeast corner/western edge of the lower campus is 0.9 miles per Google maps. That’s a diagonal of a sort of rectangle that all of Pitt’s Oakland campus and medical center fits into, easily. Pitt’s campus is extremely dense and one of the smallest major universities in the country by acre. It’s hard to be isolated.
