The University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Campus

Pitt can honestly be the most wonderful place you can spend your college years if you are willing. The school work is hard but Pitt students have a sense of community that kind of makes the bad..fun? haha like we all suffer together kind of thing. If you go out of your own way, you'll find that everyone else wants to make friends and meet new people too. Pitt students have this way of acting like they're too cool for a lot of things, but if you approach them, you'll find that most students are extremely friendly and openminded.

1st Year Female -- Class 2016

Education Quality: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: B

The faculty and research opportunities at pittsburgh are world class. If you get into the neuroscience department dive into research opportunities. Become a lab rat and do something useful, expand into genetics and take advantage of the interdisciplinary research going on up the hill at UPMC.

if you do go the neuro route, try to get into Jeffrey Balzer, Jr's clinical foundations of neurophysiology, it will gurantee you a job in an emerging standard of care field at one of the best if not the best medical school in the world (take that harvard!)

take a break from the books and hit the oakland zoo for a basketball game.
