My roommate and I both want to live in Tower B and both put it as our first choice. I’m just wondering if any pitt students have anything to say about Tower B?? Such as dorm size, people, air conditioning/heat etc. That would be really helpful
Thanks!
Houses 769 men and women.
22 floors
All rooms are air conditioned double rooms (2 people per room).
More information & floor plan etc. can be found at the Panther Central site: http://www.pc.pitt.edu/housing/halls/towerb.php
fyi I would always check Panther Central/Google for information, a lot of this can be found in a few clicks
Parent observations:
Tower is coed but each floor is single sex.
Pie shaped rooms are roomy enough with sufficient closet space.
Very social (possibly most social dorm), lots of doors kept open, you will know everyone on your floor and be close friends with many.
Elevators are a pain. You might choose the stairs if you’re on a lower floor. Moving days - elevators can be awful; start early or avoid peak times.
Market Central downstairs is a great convenience, especially when the weather gets cold. I’ve seen students head down to breakfast in pajamas. (This is an advantage over Nordenberg.)
Great location for library, most classes, bookstore and Forbes and Fifth shopping/ dining.
Tight security to get in.
