<p>We went to both last year and even though we had visited Pittsburgh twice before it was nice to be able to leisurely visit the campus (don’t forget to tour the nationality rooms in the Cathedral) and the city. Take advantage of the bus tours and absolutely visit upper campus, especially if your child is interested in honors housing. My son is living in Sutherland West and he absolutely loves it. There really is a benefit to honors housing (like minded students). My son has already picked honors housing in Brackenridge next year. </p>
<p>If your child is seriously considering Pitt you want to spend as much time on campus and in the city as possible…and stop in at the Union Grill for the best burger you’ll ever eat. :)</p>
