<p>intltransfer, Tower C is perfectly fine if you’re able to get in. The rooms are small, but they’re private, and you have a nice roomy closet. You will appreciate the convenience of the location when the weather turns cold, and you don’t even have to go outside for the dining hall.</p>
<p>He checked schedules and due to a Learning Community conflict Ghosh is out. What have you heard about either Roberts or Newman? Thanks for your input.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if freshman are allowed to have overnight guests their first semester?</p>
<p>yes, you’re allowed something like ten overnights/semester, that doesn’t include weekends, and your roommate has to consent.</p>
<p>Does anybody know any good social science or humanities electives? If you do could you please list the names of the classes and teachers. Thank You</p>
<p>RachelleyLee: Are you sure about that? I would stay over my friend’s room a zillion times, and it wasn’t always on a weekend. I never even knew there was a limit! plus, I have never heard of this roommate consent (just common courtesy)</p>
<p>Some social sciences electives I have enjoyed are…</p>
<p>CLASS 0020/0010/1130 ( Andrew Korzeniewski, some British guy, Edwin Floyd)
RELGST 0090/0105 (Andrew Gross-left Pitt, Adam Shear)
HIST 0600/0601 (idk lawl)
PHIL 0320 (Jochen Bojenowski)</p>
<p>honestly you can’t go wrong with most phil/class/relgst courses. The departments, esp. phil and classics are absolutely solid. Course numbers are what I remember, I might be off… In relgst/hist/class (they are cross indexed sometimes), Adam Shear, Rebecca Denova, Edwin Floyd, Andrew Miller, Andrew Korzeniewski are solid…</p>
<p>Emi: I don’t know when this system was put in place, but now any visitor to a dorm must be signed in by a resident. Not sure whether they <em>actually</em> count the number of visitors to each room, but they say they do, at least. If you were living in the same hall, i guess you wouldn’t have signed in anyway, so maybe that’s why you were allowed to stay so much? And yeah, roommates have to sign a contract at the beginning of each year (semester?) agreeing on guest policies, etc.</p>
<p>How does the school distribute tickets for football games and basketball games? is it a lottery system?</p>
<p>Football tickets are very easy to get. They have a booth set up in the quad during Arrival Survival. I think it was $25 or $35 and it covered all the Pitt home games.</p>
<p>Basketball games are based on a lottery system, the more points you accumulate increases your chances and you earn points for each game/event you attend. As a freshmen, my son was able to get a ticket to every basketball game including a Final Four ticket but Pitt didn’t get that far :(</p>

<p>I want to apply for fall 09 but may try for the spring because its so late. </p>
<p>Chances of getting in University of Pittsburg?</p>
<p>hey thanks for answering all those questions! That is so helpful! I was wondering if you could tell me about the student life. Is Pitt really big in Frats and Sororities? Are you in one? Are your classes huge? I was also wondering if you knew anything about the Biology or Pre-med program. Thank youu!</p>
<p>My S loves soccer. He’s trying to find out how students get to the varisty games. Do you have any info about the club team?</p>
