<p>QuietType made a good suggestion.</p>
<p>When you visit Pitt make appts to sit in on classes, talk to professors etc. Get a true overview of the school.</p>
<p>Pitt was originally a safety school for my son but the full tuition scholarship, UHC, and the fact that he deosn’t want to graduate with loans has put it in his top 3.</p>
<p>When he goes for Honors Day he is going to sit in on a class, meet the head of the dept and look at the Comp Sci facilities.</p>
<p>Give Pitt a fair shot before you write it off. There are lots of plusses.</p>
