Notre Dame vs. UPitt

<p>If you haven’t decided yet …. First, are you from Chicago? If so, you know how great living in a big city is! We are from Chicago and my daughter attends PITT. She was in the same situation. She attended a catholic high school, but was looking at both catholic and public colleges. We didn’t visit PITT( because it was 7 hours away) until after she was accepted and also got full tuition. I suggest you attend Admitted Students Weekend/and or Honors Weekend – We went on a weekend when they had both and my D fell in love with both the school and the city as soon as we arrived. Another suggestion, if you got a full tuition scholarship, I assume you are eligible for honors dorms (Sutherland Hall). If so, check them out because they are on upper campus and you get a little bit more of a college campus feel up there (just a little) and it is quieter. And the kids in honors dorms are pretty cool kids, if you are worried about that. Oh one more thought, we also visited U. Wisconsin, Pitt has a similar feel. ONE LAST THOUGHT – my daughter is also interested in med school, and the money saved is a huge issue! Good luck!</p>
