r/Pitt

i moved in late because i was out of town and i feel like everybody else has everything together already and i know nothing 😭 ive been super anxious to leave my room and do anything and im looking for somebody else who is maybe also struggling so we can meet up and figure stuff out together! im a trans guy so if ur also lgbtq+ that’d be a plus but as long as your welcoming id gladly get to know anybody!!

I’m in bio 2 and automatically enrolled in inclusive access for the online textbook. I already have a PDF of the textbook. Where do I go to opt out of it? I tried the university store website and VitalSource, but I didn’t know where to go on those websites.

im a freshman and ngl welcome week has been kinda rough socially 😭 ive been putting myself out there a lot, approaching people, getting instagrams, going to events, and i joined a club which has been really nice so far. everyone is nice but i feel like most interactions stay at the “whats your major/where are you from” level and im honestly really struggling and feel really isolated

i do live off campus but literally right by pitt, so i can stay on campus as late as i want. i think im mostly struggling with not having that automatic dorm/floor group. i really wanna make friends who live in the dorms too and be able to hang out in peoples rooms, randomly get food, go out together etc

for other freshmen, how has making actual friends been so far? and for older students, how long did it take before you went from knowing random people to actually having people to hang out with? ik its super early lol but i feel like im missing something 😭

I currently have to choose another upper CS course. My options are CS1675 (Intro to Machine Learning), CS1555 (Database Management), CS1635 (Interface Design Methodology), or CS1530 (Software Engineering). Wondering if anyone has any opinions about which one is better.

(sorry if i misused flair idk what to put) soooo sudden circumstances have occured and i no longer have funding for this school. i have no idea what to do. i know fs im gonna go back home where my financial aid does cover school (dumb to go oos, i know, but by god the nursing program here is phenomenal---also please don't insult me mental health is already low and i got insulted last post for asking a simple question 💔). i just don't know who to contact. i already moved in and i'm signed up for classes. any advice on who to talk to about dropping classes and moving out would be appreciated.

I’m going to some welcome week events as a transfer student. I live about a 12 minute walk from the Cathedral lawn where they’re showing Legally Blonde from 9:45pm- 11:30pm. I feel safe walking around in Oakland, but I never have later in the night. Has anyone felt unsafe walking around Oakland at night? Does anyone feel relatively safe walking around at night?

We (Pixatpitt) are planning on doing one or two sunset walks this week in Schenley park for those who are interested in nature, photography, or just want to go for a chill walk. We plan on meeting at 7 pm tomorrow (Wednesday the 18th) at the Frick Fine Arts building near the fountain for those who are interested, and depending on interest, we may also do another walk this weekend. There is no signup but it would be nice if you could let us know if you are interested so we can gauge interest, but totally not necessary. Thanks! :)

Hi, I"m currently a senior in the south looking to return to the North for college, I've been looking at schools in VA, PA, excluding the ivies lol. I was wondering how some current students like Pitt and why they picked it over their other choices, especially any biomechanical / biology people :))

As the title said, they haven’t assigned any advisor to me, so I can’t enrolled any class! Am I left behind?

My daughter is freshman at Pitt. Dropped her off and she is struggling especially at night. She and roommate are literally just walking around campus. Doesn't want to go to Frat (apparently one just got busted) but they feel like there is nothing to do. Girls on their floor went to frat party. Why did Pitt bring them in for a whole week if there isn't anything to do? Looked at welcome week and it was supposed to be Residence life events but they don't seem to know what to do. you have hundreds of kids - shouldn't there be a ton of things planned especially at night?? Am i missing something? Is she? Any guidance would be great. You can only knock on doors on your floor so many times... help? Thank you!

Has anyone heard anything about this? I’m wondering because last year was the biggest class ever it was a disaster lol

how do all the freshmen have friends already i literally feel like such a loser, tried to meet with some girls in my hall at an event and i couldn’t find them i already am so overwhelmed and left behind. my roommate was in provost and is so easy to make friends she’s already been out every night doing things i don’t feel comfortable with. most antisocial i’ve ever been.

hi I was looking at my schedule and noticed that I have multiple instructors listed for chem 1. who is the one that I need to reach out if I have any questions?

Where/when are the best places to go on campus this week for a sophomore transfer student majoring in biochem to meet new people and learn about ways to get involved, ie. Clubs, sports, etc.?
TIA!😊

Hi everyone. I’m an incoming dental hygiene student who’s commuting. What’s the easiest way to get here but taking the bus?
