As you probably already know, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is one of the top-ranked…read moreuniversities in the United States and world and has top-ranked programs such as computer science, engineering, statistics, business, and psychology. I have never been a student, faculty member, or staff member here, but my husband did teach short courses in the computer-science department years ago, and I recently used CMU's Hunt Library to search for grant opportunities. As an outsider, I approached the information desk to ask for a free, temporary username and password to use their grant database GrantForward. The employee asked another employee about it a few times, looked at my ID, gave me the username and password, and kindly walked me to another floor. The library looked old and like it needed to be remodeled, and a small section of it was being remodeled. Noisy construction was occurring. I felt surprised that not many computers were there. One computer would not turn on, another computer needed an administrator to fix it, and finally the third computer allowed me to log in. The GrantForward database gave me very useful information about grants. The computer, though, logged me off about every two hours without giving any notice, so I lost my place the first time and had to sign back in. In the end, I felt thankful that CMU allowed me to use their library.

ZEERROOOOO. it's a lottery system akin to getting tickets to a big concert that sells out before you can refresh the page. I was a late enroll, I did not get one of these rare passes. I have to pay $10-$14 per day in parking to attend classes, IF I manage to get a spot. there's a good chance every lot will be filled and you are just SOL and drive back home missing your class day. The school offers an app where you can reserve parking but it's such a nightmare and requires basically scheduling where you are going to park on what day and it may well be a 20-30 minute walk to your campus building. It's actually complete BS for the school to think this is acceptable.

I spent five years at Duquesne, and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!…read more I moved out to Pittsburgh for college all the way from California--state, not California, PA. Duquesne was such a welcoming campus, and all of the teachers and staff are very caring. There are so many great resources, both on campus and off campus within a short distance. Duquesne's campus is like a world all it's own, being nestled on the Bluff right in downtown. I graduated two years ago, and I'm still thankful for the education I received. I moved back to California, and I have to admit that I miss Pittsburgh and Duquesne a lot! (as an aside, my brother also went to a Catholic university in Chicago that cost almost $10k MORE each year, and the resources at his school weren't nearly as nice as at Duq.) Edit 12/24/14: P.S. Someone else (who studied math) mentions in a 1-star review that Duquesne doesn't have any rigorous science programs--that couldn't be FURTHER from the truth. I graduated with a science degree and believe it was a FANTASTIC program and that every other science student I came across in other programs thought the same thing. With my education I believe I could get a job at any lab in the country.

The highlight was…read moredefinitely the Cathedral of Learning - an architectural wonder and landmark that began construction in 1926 and was completed in 1939 in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The in-person tour is highly recommended if you want to get a feel for the urban environment of the campus - free t-shirts are also provided with the Pitt logo. During the campus tour, you'll see the interior of classroom buildings, a dormitory for 1st year students, and a glimpse of Heinz Memorial Chapel. Founded in 1787, the university is a leading research institution where the polio vaccine was developed (by Dr. Jonas Salk). I think it's an impressive campus to visit - especially the Cathedral of Learning which is open to the public. You'll be amazed to learn that it's the second tallest academic building in the Western Hempishere. The interior does resemble a Gothic cathedral - but the space and tables are dedicated to students and classroom learning. Well worth a stop if you're in town!
