Visit Cool Pittsburgh!
Pitt has a website for people new to the University of Pittsburgh and its hometown—especially graduate and professional school students, postdocs and new members of the Pittsburgh campus faculty. But undergraduates students are more than welcome to use this resource as well. Cool Pittsburgh is really a guide to moving to Pittsburgh and learning about our beautiful city, its neighborhoods, and its community.
