<p>I live in Forbes Hall (the honors dorm) and it was an amazing choice, at least for me. The rooms are MUCH bigger than Towers and most rooms share a half-bath with another room (showers are communal). It can be noisy, but with the door closed it’s no problem to study in the room. The absolute best part about it is that there a TON of students in the sciences and in engineering, so it’s easy to find people in your classes and to ask for help. Everyone’s pretty smart, but there’s a good mix of “partiers” and people who study most of the time or participate in other Pitt activities.</p>
