hi,
i am interested in applying to pitt except i was just wondering how close Pitt is to downtown Pittsburgh, i do not want to go to a city’s city school (ie depaul, university of illinois at chicago, or an nyu type where the school is in the middle of the city) I heard pitt is 40 minutes outside the city like northwestern is to the city of chicago? is this true?? if not how close is it to downtown or is it in downtown
