Fiske is stupid if he thinks that there’s nothing to do at the school. You’re in a city, you have options coming out of your ears. There are all the parties thrown at Pitt, CMU, and Duquesne every weekend. There are parks, sports games (college level and professional). Cheap movies shown on campus right after they get out of theaters. You can go downtown see a show, go to a club, pretend you’re a tourist and explore what pittsburgh has to offer. You can also go to Squirrel Hill, Southside, the Strip, etc. Each section of the city has it’s own cultural flair, with tiny shops and good food. There’s shopping down at the waterfront, the Century III mall, and now the newly opened Southside works. You get free transportation around the entire city including out to Kennywood, one of the oldest Amusement Parks in the country. On campus there are tons of clubs and groups you can join as well as a frat to suit anyone’s liking, from the typical toga frat to community service and honorary frats. There are restaraunts all over Oakland as well as different museums that you get into for free just for being a pitt student. A lot of going to pitt is looking around to see what’s going on and what your options are of what to do. They don’t have tons of college hosted festivals but it’s because they don’t need to. There’s so much to do around the city it’s unnecessary. My advice check it out for yourself and form your own opinion.
