Great university, helpful faculty and diverse campus.
Tips: My programme is more research-focused than just classes. I transitioned from another US university so the cultural shift was minimal. The program provides a guaranteed monthly stipend and full tuition. The annual stipend is 40,000 dollars. Pittsburgh is a small city, so the diversity in people is lacking and there are fewer things to do. But there are plenty of opportunities to do outdoor activities. I have not had any issues with safety in Pittsburgh. Public transportation is available late into the night. People are respectful. Even though fewer people are out on the street at night, I have felt walking around. Shops and restaurants are usually close by 9 pm so there is not much to do at night. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the education.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The political environment is currently unstable under the 2025 Trump administration. This is making immigration options uncertain. Additionally, from having conversations with other international students who have undergone the immigration process, I've realized that the process is long and expensive, but turns out successful if you have done your research and have provided a good portfolio of your work. I would permanently immigrate given the option.

It is a good college with lots of opportunities to excel
Tips: Check for STEM courses, and apply early for scholarships. Check with seniors who are studying there regarding job sector post-studies. Connect with alumni. There are a lot of cultural socks for students as the culture is quite different from that in India. But you get used to it.

Best research oriented University
Tips: My scholarship is in the process so I might get it and students coming here can also try to get one. University is quite good, the management is really helpful and there are a lot of job opportunities through various on-campus job events. I'm satisfied with the University as it gives me a good study environment.
Likes (Public transportation): PITT students can travel anywhere with the ID card and get many offers included in restaurants. Public transportation is good. The campus is in the centre of the city close to downtown. A lot of tourist attractions nearby the campus itself. You can travel anywhere by bus around the city. Only fewer places need a cab facility.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would not like to permanently settle in this state but I would want to move to a different one. A good salary with a decent car would be perfect to stay in any place in the United States as it's quite expensive. I couldn't adapt to the food easily it takes time. But overall a good place.
