WHAT I LIKED

I like the beautiful Chapel and all the benches and picnic tables outside with really pretty trees. I like how it's in the city, so you can walk some places, but it feels very much like a separate campus. The speech-language pathology program is great, especially if you want a master's degree in 5 years. Professors are kind and understanding.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

There are less enjoyable things like at any school. Food options can feel limited, especially if you want to use a meal swipe instead of Flex. It's cold, windy, and rainy in Pittsburgh.
