Around Town

Go downtown/south side.

Run, got to museums, shop, eat, attend sports events, kayak on the river; There's too much to say since I haven't even experienced it all myself!

There are so many different clubs and organizations at Pitt, from intramural sports to student government to chess club. If none of those are right for you (which is hard to believe because there are over 400 organizations) there's still plenty to do. Schenley Park is a great place to get some food and hang out, there are multiple museums just between Pitt and Carnegie Mellon, and then there's the Phipps Conservatory, which is a great place for a first date! And all of that is just on campus or within 10 minutes walking distance. The city of Pittsburgh is here for you!

There's plenty of museums, art shows, concerts, musicals, and ballets always happening around the city. Mount Washington is also a beautiful place to visit.

There are many concerts at Pitt, student fairs, festivals, club activities and trips, and volunteering opportunities to make sure the experience at Pitt is enjoyable.

Anything you can imagine. There is something for everyone here.

Riding a bicycle, dancing, running around the pretty park, etc.

Go to museums and eat and wander Pittsburgh.

There are a wide range of options! What is so cool about Pittsburgh are the unique neighborhoods each offering something different. There are a TON of restaurants, movie theaters, Musicals, plays, sporting events, and concerts and so much more!

-Again, Pitt Arts. Their Free Visits program includes free admission to lots of local museums and the Conservatory. Signing up for the Newsletter gives you access to free trips to plays, concerts, dance performances and more, which also include free meals at some of the hottest Pittsburgh restaurants! These events are often worth over $50, but as a Pitt student you get to go for free. Pitt Arts also gives you discounts to other events through their Cheap Seats program. -Clubs, clubs, clubs. There are over 400. See below. -Pitt Program Council events. PPC is the event planning club at Pitt, and they get about 200k/year to play around with. In my freshman year, they brought in Hoodie Allen, Kenan Thompson, American Authors (with a free food truck festival), and Lupe Fiasco. They also do lots of other events throughout the year like spa days, open mic nights, trips to theme parks and pro sports games, paintball, and cupcake/cookie decorating. Other big clubs also bring people in, like the Rainbow Alliance brought in Laverne Cox. Read the Pitt News to stay updated on who's coming. -I definitely wouldn't say Pitt is a party school, but there is partying if you seek it out. There are also a couple cool clubs and bars around the city that students frequent.
