This campus is only good for commuters. It is like a glorified high school

I've had some of the worst professors ever here. The art teachers test on material that they never even covered. They flash pictures and the next time you see the picture your being tested on it without every being told you have to recall everything about it. We had 3 classes and a midterm that everyone failed. Administration just blew it off.

This school does NOT care about their students. I've transferred in from Community Collage and have been nothing but disappointed with PITT. Majority of their teachers are horrible!!!! I've had teachers say strait out that they are the only ones who read their reviews so no matter what you write on their review nobody cares!!!

This school doesn't really care about their students. The advisors don't really advise just sign you up for classes. They don't even guide you to take better professors. Many professors treat teaching as their job and don't care if their student pass or fail. Coming from a community college I feel community took me further than PITT ever has.

Do not go to this school, they try to suck as much money out of the students as possible, by not offering the classes you need. In addition, the school does not even feel like a college, after living on campus for two years I have come under the impression that this place is really just a glorified high school.

Get your driver's license or you'll be stuck here unless a friend takes you else where.
