Hello everybody!

My name is Nicole I am seriously considering choosing University of Pittsburgh and joining the Class of 2019! I plan on majoring in nursing, and when I visited during Accepted Student’s Day, the nursing faculty and students both suggested looking into living in Lothrop. However, I am unsure if living in Lothrop is what I want, since it only houses nursing students and mainly single rooms. Although it is tempting to choose Lothrop because it is right next to the nursing building, and I can study will fellow nursing students, I would really like to surround myself with different people. I will be in classes all the time with nursing students, and I can, if I choose to, study with them together outside of a dorm regardless of where I live.

Has anyone lived in Lothrop that can that give me an idea of what it is like to live there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!

Hi, my D will be starting Nursing in Fall 2017 and has the same question. Which housing did you choose for your Freshman year? How did you like it?

I have a freshman nursing major living in Lothrop this year and plans to stay next year as well. It’s very convenient to most nursing classes since a lot of the classes are in the Victoria Building right next door. The biggest plus for my kid is having a single (with a sink!). The building doesn’t have A/C, but has good air flow and it was only hot for the first several weeks. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.
