WHY PITT?

The short answer: Because we have a long history of building bright futures. For the long answer, we asked some of our current Panthers why they chose Pitt.
Here were their reasons:

REPUTATION AND OUTCOMES

We're consistently top-ranked and are proud to be a top Fulbright producer. Our students have gone on to become Pulitzer-prize winners, CEOs, governors, inventors, human rights pioneers, and more.

THE FEELING OF FITTING IN

It's a top priority on our campus. From being consistently named one of the Best Colleges for LGBTQ+ students (Best Colleges) to our commitment to maintaining a inclusive community — everyone has the space to thrive at Pitt.

OUR PANTHERS ALSO USED THESE WORDS TO DESCRIBE PITT:

Welcoming. Exciting. Fun. High‑Quality. Comfortable. Spirit. Community. Friendly. Prestigious. Beautiful. Unique.
