Pitt is also very urban, not dissimilar to Drexel and Temple, with the campus bisected by commercial streets and blending into the neighborhood to the point where there are not distinct borders between the school and the city. However, Pitt has much more green space than either of those campuses, and is adjacent to a large, wooded, city park (Schenley Park). It has much nicer buildings, architecture, and facilities than either of those schools. The neighborhood (Oakland) is also home to more of the city’s main cultural amenities than the neighborhoods of those Philly schools, as Pittsburgh’s major art and natural history museums, conservatory, and the main branch of the city library are located adjacent to campus (and all free to access for Pitt students). It also adjacent to Carnegie Mellon University and Carlow University, so it is a major hub of college student life (not dissimilar to West Philly, e.g. University City, where Drexel is located next to Penn). Oakland is Pittsburgh’s second downtown (and the third densest area in Pennsylvania after Philly’s and Pittsburgh’s downtowns, and it is easy to get to the main downtown area of Pittsburgh which is about 2 miles away by public transportation (also free for students).

Also, you can use Google street view to get a sense of it (zip code 15213…look for the areas around the main buildings…there are three campus areas: lower (Cathedral of Learning, Schenley Plaza area), mid (Benedum Hall, Chevron Science Center, medical center), and upper (Petersen Events Center, Sutherland Hall, Panther Hall, Trees Hall, etc) crammed together on less than 150 acres…so it is very easy to walk from place to place…with the note that the upper campus is “upper” because it is on a hillside.
