Pitt was expensive. I was an out of state student, and with tuition and boarding and a meal plan and everything else, Pitt ran me over $45,000 over the year I spent there. That's the biggest reason I transfered out- the money. It is a fantastic experience and honestly I've never felt so at home, but even with all of the positives it's hard to justify spending that much money in one year.

Best engineering school in terms of relative location, personal finances, and academic depth. I am learning something new everyday that relates to my area of focus, while also learning in an environment full of diverse students and culture.

Pitt delivers a top level education without the $60,000 price tag of some private universities.

If you're in-state, you're definitely getting a good deal. Pitt is just as good as private schools that charge twice as much. Obviously the out of state tuition is one of the highest in the country, but I still think it's a pretty decent deal. You get so many opportunities that small schools don't offer. The free bus pass alone retails for over $1600.

Its relatively expensive if you are out of state, but the tuition doesnt change as long as you are a student unlike Penn State which can hike up the price of your tuition every year.
