Son Attending in the Fall--Pitt Students help me out>

<p>My D is a freshman and as others have posted you will find many, many types of students at Pitt. My D wanted to live in Towers - but ended up in a single in Holland - which is the all girls dorm in the Quad right near Towers - it has worked out OK. She does go to many frat and house parties since she is in a girl’s dorm it also gives her the opportunity to meet some guys. Sutherland is a nicer dorm than Towers - so I would have your son look at Sutherland as well - might be nice to have fellow business majors around for studying, etc. and if he doesn’t mind the walk up and down the hill, Sutherland is great. My D is hoping to live in a dorm on upper campus next year. Football tickets you can get at your orientation session and I know my D has friends who are part of the “Zoo” - my D is not a big basketball fan and can take or leave the football games so you’ll certainly find that Pitt is large enough that if you aren’t a sports fan you’ll still find something to do on the weekends. My D did sign up for PittArts and gets notified about concerts, plays, etc. that she can go to at a very discounted price. She has taken advantage of a few things and does also take the Pittsburgh buses all over Pittsburgh. Good luck to your son.</p>
