<p>Midwestern attitude and good sports would seem to strongly favor Pitt. In fact, I would say it isn’t even remotely close. The other two schools would not even be considered as having major sports anywhere near the level that Pitt does.</p>
<p>Tulane is about 13% Greek, Pitt is about 9% and NU about 4%. None of these schools would be dominated by a Greek scene.</p>
<p>Pitt would probably be considered a middle of the road party school. There when you want it, but definitely not necessary for a social life. The university is actively engaged in trying to facilitate its students taking advantage of the city: see [Pitt</a> Arts](<a href=“PITT ARTS | Student Affairs”>http://www.pittarts.pitt.edu/) and Pitt’s [free</a> public transportation agreement](<a href=“http://www.pc.pitt.edu/transportation/agreement.html]free”>http://www.pc.pitt.edu/transportation/agreement.html). I don’t know of another school that has as good of programs in this regard as Pitt. </p>
<p>The only thing Pitt doesn’t have for you is a high out of state %. The last freshman class had dropped to 67% in-state. It is dropping every year. Keep in mind that only 17% come from Pittsburgh’s home county. There is a large student population from the Eastern Pennsylvania/Philadelphia region, which honestly, is really like a different state…I’d even say that it is more different than Pittsburgh is from Ohio.</p>
