Going to Pitt was the best decision I have ever made, and I’ve gotten the chance to make some of the best memories! Just a warning, if you don’t go to Pitt, you might not have a clue what I’m talking about in these next 20 points… And just a precursor: most of these are about food. #Sorrynotsorry So here are 20 things you will only understand if you go to Pitt!
When you visit Pitt, every Pathfinder talks about Primantis. It’s one of the treasures of Pittsburgh. Its. So. Good. But when you’re a broke college student, odds are you won’t go there. We know who the prospective students are when we see smiling faces willingly enter that building at 12 PM. I’ve only ever seen students go in there when they were drunk and needed food to sober up.
Everyone always wants Starbucks or Dunkin. Well let me tell you, this is THE hidden treasure of Oakland if you love coffee.
My parents went to Pitt, and they always told me about the fries at “The Dirty O’.” The line of customers goes out the door on Friday and Saturday nights. Their fries are heaven. I haven’t had better French fries in my entire life.
If you win the housing lottery and have your choice in living arrangements, don’t blink an eye before selecting Bouquet. My friends are living there this year, and I’m extremely jealous.
There are memes about this. Don’t look them up.
Everyone has their preference, and everyone HAS to make it known. I like upper campus way more than lower, but that’s because I’m from Kentucky and it feels more secluded on upper.
We love every sunny day we can get in Pittsburgh. If its 70 or warmer, you’ll be sure to see students sun-bathing on Soldiers and Sailor’s lawn or trekking it out to Flagstaff Hill.
Ha… I can’t explain this one, but you’ll figure it out.
Cathy. Her name is Cathy.
It was so hard to find when I got to Pitt. Some upperclassmen told me it was on upper campus and I walked for an HOUR before realizing it wasn’t. I don’t like Chevron. It’s a really ugly building, and there aren’t many places to study there.
Apparently a professor died walking up this hill? I am not sure I believe that, but it is incredibly annoying to climb–and when I say climb, I mean CLIMB.
If I have one more pamphlet shoved at me…
Towers lobby is the epicenter for tabling. Clubs and organizations bombard students with free bracelets and trinkets to get more members.
I mean, we tolerate them…I guess. They seem to think they’re better than us, which is false. Pitt is lit.
I don’t even want to say that school’s name. Just know we hate them, and have a chant to prove it.
So. Many. Protests.
There was one during FINALS WEEK. Like COME ON! I’m all for sticking it to the man, but can you guys be quieter? These exams will make or break our grades.
R.I.P.
I think I went there less than 20 times. If you can make the trip to upper campus, the Perch has better food.
The 2 PM rush though…
Heinz Field is so nice. Who else can say their college team plays on an NFL field?
