Pittsburgh offers a wonderful combination of 'big city' advantages and choices and 'small town' atmosphere and friendliness. It is a cosmopolitan business and cultural center. It is the home of major companies in the field of manufacturing, banking and software, as well as several professional sports teams and ten college-level institutions. The city's entertainment district includes symphonies, opera, ballet and theatre in addition to a wide range of music types, including jazz, disco, rock and folk.

At the same time, Pittsburgh's many different neighborhoods give the feeling of life in a small town, as you get to know the local parks, shops and neighbors you meet at the bus stop. Pittsburgh is a place that many international students and visitors call their second home.

Recreational areas for skiing, hiking, camping and boating are within a one or two-hour drive from the University. Pittsburgh is easily accessible by air, rail, bus, and car - it is close enough to visit New York, Niagara Falls, Washington DC, and Atlantic City during term breaks and on weekends.
