Hi!
So I was accepted into both the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University and I can’t decide which one I want to attend. I’ve visited both and fell in love with both campuses. I want to major in biology and I know Pitt has a killer biology program but something just keeps drawing me back to Cuse. I have some questions that if anyone could answer that would be great!
Does pitt have a good social scene/party scene? I’m not looking to go out on weekdays because of classes but weekends are important to me!
Is there a stigma attached to going to pitt? I have heard multiple times that it is a safety school, and that kind of bothers me (I know it shouldn’t).
Which school has better alumni networking?
If I’m not in a sorority at syracuse, will I still have friends?
Will I still be able to attend parties (more specifically frat parties) at syracuse if I’m not in a sorority?
I am very very liberal, so I would prefer to be around students who share a similar mindset of acceptance, where do you think that would be more present?
If anyone could answer any of these questions that would be phenomenal!!
