don’t worry about not going to the upper campus. when we were there, we drove through the upper campus. as Pittpnthr said its mostly the athletic complex facilities.

also there are many buildings associated with the medical college. The one thing you should know is that some of the newer dorms are located in the upper campus. while they are nicer than the towers for instance, the downside is that once you come down to the main camous for classes, you really won’t want to go back up the hill during the day (especially in the winter). living in the towers affords you much greater comvenience. your near the academic buildings and your dorm.

The gym is located in the peterson center ( the large basketball arena). we went in and it was very nice. If you are into working out, I believe that there is a small gym in the towers as well.

I think the city bus tour is important to take (we did this as well instead of the upper camous tour) because the city of pittsburgh is a big reason why students want to go to college there. It is good to see what the city was like. The one thing about the city tour that i thought they should do, but didn’t was take the bus over to the “southside”. we dorve through there and there were many restaurants and bars. it seemed like a cool place to go if you go to college there.

good luck.
