College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from University of Pittsburgh Students

Read samples from the University of Pittsburgh guide below:

Academics

“Some of my classes are huge, and some of my classes are tiny. We are definitely a large university, but in so many ways, I don’t feel like the numbers are as high as they are. You always have access to someone who can help you one-on-one—either your...”

Diversity

“The school tries to make the campus comfortable for people from all walks of life. The minorities on campus are very active. Personally, I know my own group of friends is pretty diverse. The only problem is that the diverse groups don’t intermingle much.”

Guys & Girls

“Yeah, the guys are attractive, if you are thinking superficially. They tend to go into the woodwork during the winter, though.”

Athletics

“The basketball team is incredibly up-and-coming. They have made the March Madness tournament for six seasons in a row. The football coach, Wannstadt, a former NFL coach, is sure to draw in some highly sought-after recruits for years to come.”

Academics

The University of Pittsburgh is over 16,000 students strong, which can seem like a scary number, at first. In reality, what you get in classes isn’t a reflection of this size. Some classes are large, especially the introductory classes that you have to take for the first year or two, yet once you get heavily focused on your major, the whole university seems to shrink. Variety is the spice of life, and one of the great things about a liberal arts school is that you will find just enough variety to allow you...

Diversity

Diversity is a very subjective area for Pitt students, and what you hear really depends on who you talk to. Numbers speak for themselves—there is a large white majority at the University, and many people are from Pennsylvania or the surrounding areas. If you’re coming to Pittsburgh from one of its many suburbs, you’ll probably be impressed with the number of different people you can find. The same is true of the Oakland area, which is home to a lot of schools that are even more diverse than Pitt. For those...

Guys & Girls

There are enough students at Pitt to make for a smorgasbord of potential relationships—whatever type of relationship you’re looking for. The student body varies widely; though, girls are almost universally considered better looking on the whole. Pitt men have much less to complain about than CMU students up the street, because they have so many more options available. On the whole, however, campus isn’t especially notable for the amount of romantic interaction; while relationships aren’t uncommon, they also...

Athletics

Athletics are off-the-hook at the University of Pittsburgh. Pitt’s football team is often ranked in the top 25 and goes to a bowl game virtually every year. The program is expected to go nowhere but up. With a positive season last year, the recruiting possibilities are high. The men’s basketball team has been nationally ranked over the past three seasons and looks to have a bright future ahead of them. Other varsity sports don’t have the same draw as these two teams, but Pitt athletics holds its own in...
