D was accepted to Pitt for fall 2020. Our first impression during the Blue and Gold Day was great, and over the past few years, heard nothing but great things about Pitt. In addition, everyone we know who goes or has a kid who goes there seems really happy. I’m just curious what the social life is like - what the kids do for fun? D wants a larger school with a lot of school spirit, especially with the sports programs. I also know Pitt doesn’t have much of a Greek system, so what exactly do the kids do to socialize - small house parties? My own college experience and that of D’s brothers was at a smaller-mid-size private school (5000 undergraduates) with a strong Greek system, so it’s a little hard to visualize something completely different. I want her to have the best of all worlds - great school academically with outstanding networking and career opportunities, but I also want her to have fun. Any insights would be appreciated.
