<p>Yes, my daughter loves the Cathedral of Learning! And the sushi place on the lower level.</p>
<p>Lavaplatos, to answer your question, the college-selection process is all about discovering what you want (as I’m sure you know). I personally love brick-and-ivy campuses too. We visited about 18 schools, including some known for their beautiful grounds. I was blown away by them, but my daughter for some reason wasn’t into the scenic factor. Near the end of the search, my daughter decided on “urban, but with green space.” She loves that Pitt’s campus is compact and it’s relatively easy to get from one place to the other, while there are green lawns for playing frisbee. </p>
<p>On the other hand, what really made her eyes light up was when she saw Forbes Avenue, with its string of eateries including Panera Bread, Qdoba, Einstein Bros. Bagels, and places to get Japanese, Indian, Italian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese food. You can use your Panther Card to pay. She didn’t want to be tied to a college cafeteria, although Pitt’s new food service is really good, and she’s enjoying that too!</p>
<p>Here’s a list of places you can eat using the Panther Card: [Merchant</a> List](<a href=“http://www.pc.pitt.edu/card/merchantlist.html]Merchant”>http://www.pc.pitt.edu/card/merchantlist.html)</p>
<p>Visit the campus if you can, Lava and everyone, and see if Pitt meets your needs. Congrats again on the scholarship!</p>
