<p>So you didn’t take a guided tour and just explored on your own? If money is an issue, wouldn’t it have made sense to do the tour/sit in on classes/explore the campus versus having to travel out there again. </p>
<p>I can say from our first visit, I knew when we were on the campus. It is definitely not a truly “urban” campus. It sounds like you don’t want to go to Pitt and is trying to find reasons to justify it (perhaps to your parents). If money is an issue – NOTHING beats a full ride. I am all for students graduating with zero debt especially if they plan to attend graduate/medical school. You are very lucky – there are plenty of kids who would be grateful to receive the scholarship you were awarded.</p>
