Would living in Forbes be too isolating for a freshman?

<p>a lot of people in the Pitt Class of 2011 group on Facebook were having similar concerns…here’s what one girl had to say:</p>

<p>“so i’m going to be a sophomore and i live in forbes now, and it has definitely been awesome-- college is completely what you make of it, especially at a big school, so meeting people is all up to you, no matter where you live. it might seem like 4 blocks is a lot, but it’s barely anything and the rooms are so much bigger and better. it is quieter than towers, but that’s only because there are 200-some people in forbes and thousands in towers. i have my own bathroom, most people share a bathroom with another room, but it beats those nasty towers bathrooms.
it might seem like you’re a little bit out of the loop in the first week or so, but that feeling definitely goes away once you’re comfortable on campus. you don’t have to live in towers to meet people - all of your classes will be down that way and you’ll spend the majority of your day down there - i would recommend living in forbes if you have the chance to.”</p>

<p>thought maybe this would help you; this is pretty much the impression I’ve gotten from everyone I talk to about Forbes… I’m not too worried.</p>
