Reviewer is Accepted here and planning to attend soon. Reviewer has been to campus.
Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot I will be attending UPG in the Fall, and I truly believe this university will be great for me. After all, I'll have the benefits of small class sizes and the University of Pittsburgh diploma.
Will enjoy being here The campus is beautiful! Also, it's nice and spread out so it is large enough to explore, but it is small enough to make it to classes on time.
Bang for the buck My main reasoning for attending a branch campus of Pitt was the ability to gain merit scholarships. The tuition is around $21,000, and I already have a $6,500 merit scholarship!
Tips for prospective students Check out the campus!
Great for these types of students Great for students who want a public school with smaller classes.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences It has a very good student to teacher ratio. There are very few things around the campus helping one focus on their studies. However it does have plenty of on campus events to take break from ones studies.
Tips for prospective students Everything closes over the weekend. The cafe and other basic thing will be open but the quality has great decreased.
Academic Rigor The campus is very not very strict. The rules are enforced but other then that you basically have the free will do to as you please.
Dorm Life Granted I have low standards, they do offer all the basic needs and luxuries most people would want. Though roommate or hallway member issues vary, you can ask for aid with confronting your hallway members or roommate on anything that is bothering you.
Food and Dining They always have a lot of choices and some common ones in case you don't like today's special. They also have a side store encase you don't want anything in the cafe that service common fast food things such as burgers, chicken, or fries.
What to do for fun There are a lot of on campus events, clubs, and plenty of free space to try your own thing. I do feel like at times you have to make your own fun and with the lack things near the campus to do you may find yourself wonder what to do today.
Bang for the buck They do offer a lot of things that if you used them all you would be saving money compared if you tried to do this outside the school. However, I don't eat multiple meals at once, go to every event even if I don't feel like it, and make sure I take 18 credits just to have 18 credits.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The campus doesn't have any unusual things. Their have been some stories of ghost but they could have been pranks. The students are trying to have a humans vs. zombie games.
Great for these types of students If you want a very open campus, a little more one on one ish feeling with the teacher, and less distraction. Then this could be a place for you. Plus, if you want to go to the main campus all the credits transfer over.
Clubs and Activities I know there are a lot but I was not part of most of them. So I would say so but I can't honestly answer
Greek Life To my knowledge, there are no fraternities or sororities.
Campus Safety Due to the small nature of the campus, it doesn't take very long for security to get anywhere and with all the emergency phones set up all over campus I feel very safe. Plus, there isn't much crime in the area or anything else for that matter.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Great experience, people on campus are so friendly and the professors are truly dedicated to their students. Much better than a large university, you get much more individual attention and help! Should be a number one choice for anyone looking for a small yet well know and accredited school!!!
Academic Rigor Classes are challenging but provide a good development for future skills.
What to do for fun Always activities going on, student government as well as other clubs provide a lot of entertainment.
Bang for the buck Get a great education for a lot less than other universities as well as more personalized relationships with professors.
Great for these types of students Students who want a individualized education and a small student to professor ratio

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences i would rate upg very well, it was a good choice for me. small class sizes, close personal relationships and one to one help. i can't complain about this school other than it is boring at times.
Tips for prospective students look into this if you are interested in small class sizes and knowing your professors well. also, if you don't mind seeing the same faces everyday. in my opinion it's a good thing. i have made so many friends.
Academic Rigor not going to hide anything, this school is very challenging. especially their biology and chemistry program. however, professors will go above and beyond to help you.
Dorm Life at first, i was very iffy about living in a dorm. they are not bad at all! i have become very very close to not only my roommate but the girls beside me and down the hall. cannot complain! i think everyone needs to experience this!
Food and Dining it's not your typical gross cafeteria food. at times it is a poor selection but most of the time it is good. a lot to pick from .
What to do for fun we kinda just hang out and watch movies. we are always having fun and always finding something to do.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus the coffee house is located in the academic villages, it is kind of cool because you walk and you are in one of the villages. it's a really popular hang out spot.
Great for these types of students who are looking for a smaller environment, something to ease into for their first few years because you always have the option of transferring to main.
Clubs and Activities recently the school has come out with so many new clubs to join and with those clubs comes many new activities. it's so nice, especially if there isn't anything to do.
Greek Life there are many academic sororities you can join. no frat housing or anything like that. all is for good grades and such. it looks amazing to be in an academic sorority.
Campus Safety this is key in my opinion. feeling safe when you are miles away from home is very important. there are always officers on duty and the chief is amazingly nice and caring.
