What is the University of Pittsburgh like?

Is there a good website to find out this kind of info?

Like google earth ?

Oakland, where it and Carnegie Mellon are located, is a nice enough neighborhood. You won't want to live in South Oakland, an undergraduate slum, but adjacent Squirrel Hill and Shadyside have decent apartments. You can take the bus to school for free, and Pitt has its own bus system as well.

How old are you? What program? What's the address of your intended school?

University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information

University of Pittsburgh School of Information Sciences 135 North Bellefield Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15260

I'm 24.

Well, you could live in North Oakland and walk to school. It's a nice neighborhood. Will you have a car? Parking is difficult (metered) and expensive.

The Cathedral of Learning is the main building at Pitt. Google "4200 Fifth Avenue 15260" to Street View it.

I don't know r4. Is it the kind of place where you need one? I hadn't thought about that. (I have a car but didn't think about if I was going to bring it or not.)

r6, Pittsburgh is a place where you'll want a car. However, you probably won't use it much of the time. You can get a neighborhood sticker for on-street parking in most neighborhoods, including Squirrel Hill/Greenfield, Shadyside, Bloomfield, East Liberty, Lawrenceville, and Oakland (Pittsburgh's East End). Many of the main streets are metered though, and you have to pay there regardless of whether you have a neighborhood sticker.

Lawrenceville is the Williamsburg of Pittsburgh, if that's your thing. Poorly constructed onetime millworker housing for the most part, but the hippest bar and restaurant scene. You can really smell your neighbors' houses if there's been any subsidence.

Shadyside had the best rental apartments at one time, many built in the '50s and '60s. Until recently, they were among the best rentals, because there hadn't been any new rental construction in some time. Now, East Liberty and Oakland have new apartments. They're the nicer places, and cost accordingly. Shadyside, too. Check with walnutcapital.com for some of the better apartments. They allow dogs and cats, which sets them apart from 99% of Pittsburgh landlords, who HATE pets.

The buses are convenient in all of these neighborhoods (Lawrenceville and Bloomfield have the fewest).

Can you study information systems at Carnegie-Mellon instead? Their computer and business students get jobs when they graduate.

The Carnegie museum is amazing.
