Would living in Forbes be too isolating for a freshman?

<p>I had the exact same question about the potential isolation of Forbes. For some reason it’s difficult for me to eliminate the picture of “walking to the dining hall” if you will, across the quad. Which brings another question: It’s obvious there are many places to eat with or without panther points or what ever they are called. There seems to be an abundance of places on campus that are food courts with fast food options. Is there a traditional dining hall somewhere on campus?
Will the new Marketplace at Towers be more of a traditional dining hall? I guess I’m only seeing fast food/unhealthy options. Not so much at breakfast or lunch but I do see going dinner as a real common bond for students.</p>

<p>Thanks for any insights to the dorm/eating at Pitt. I really wish we had been able to see the inside of Forbes.</p>
