I have an upcoming interview at Univ of Pitt as well. So any information would be helpful as well. I'm also curious about the city itself. I was looking at the crime rate of Pittsburgh, and was surprised to discover that it was pretty high. Being a woman, that's something I have to take into account as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

1. Interviewed on 11/21. Arrived the night before around 11:45pm. Left Pitt the day of my interview at 6pm.
2. Ate dinner at the airport, brunch at Pitt, and then dinner again at the airport.
3. I was impressed by the students and facilities. Not unimpressed. Loved the school.
4. 70-ish students when I was there. An auditorium full of students.

My interview was on the 9th. I few in the day before and left the day after (just because I wasn't confident in being able to get to the airport right after the interview). I had Mc Donalds while I was there (I didn't want to spend too much money).

I was really impressed by the school. The facilities were great, the students seemed really happy. There were around 40 people (I think) there when I interviewed. It was a pretty laid back interview. They stressed SOO many times that they were trying to make it as easy on us as possible that it started to get a little weird 🙂 Check out the interview feedback section for other peoples opinions on the school as well. 😀

I didn't really feel uncomfortable at all walking around the school at night (then again, I'm a male). There were lots of students walking around at that time (8-9pm). I don't know if you'd want to walk around ANYWHERE in the wee hours of the morning though. I felt pretty safe there and everyone seemed to be really friendly. 🙂
