<p>Congrats on the full ride!</p>
<p>You’ll definitely have to deal with sidewalks and crosswalks at Pitt, but Oakland gives off a distinctly “college” vibe. It’s not in the downtown area of the city. Instead, it feels like it’s in its own little corner (to me, anyways), though the rest of the city is easily accessible via buses (free for Pitt students). Also, I rarely see taxis.</p>
<p>I’ve taken all required pre-med courses, and excepting one or two courses, most of my classes typically had ~150 students. I’ve found that all of my professors have been very accessible and approachable, regardless of the class size.</p>
<p>I would definitely recommend a visit.</p>
