<p>Mom of a junior here:</p>
<p>Is the Pitt campus at one location or is it spread out in the city?</p>
<p>MD Mom answered this one.</p>
<p>Is there a college feel while in the city?</p>
<p>Yes there is. We were surprised when we visited Pitt.</p>
<p>What are the freshman dorms like? (I’m not expecting suites or anything…)</p>
<p>Most students end up with standard dorms with two beds/two dressers/two desks but there is a variety of rooms/residence halls. I believe Sutherland has suites but it is up the hill.</p>
<p>Where do many students study? In the library, study centers, dorms?</p>
<p>DS spent his time in his room. He was in SPACE and was surrounded by engineering majors.</p>
<p>What kind of academic help can I get? How are the TAs?</p>
<p>They have tutoring if you need it. Have not heard of any complaints about the TAs.</p>
<p>Is there wireless internet?</p>
<p>MD Mom answered.</p>
<p>Can you tell me YOUR OPINIONS about the engineering programs?</p>
<p>We have been very pleased with the engineering department. The advisers are great! Lots of opportunities: co-ops and research. Last summer, DS worked in a research lab. He has also finished a co-op rotation. For this summer, he has been offered a job in a research lab already.</p>
<p>How’s the city like? Transportation? Buses?</p>
<p>Free with Pitt ID. </p>
<p>How’s life? </p>
<p>Well I would say DS is thoroughly enjoying his time at Pitt. He doesn’t regret choosing Pitt :)</p>
