University of Pittsburgh
Is this school for me?
After researching and looking for things I must have at my future college in order for me to be successful, I think the University of Pittsburgh might just be it. They tuition seems reasonable, it has tutoring centers to help me if I'm struggling, It has the major I'm considering and if I change my mind they have my second and third choice, they offer financial aid, they have many programs that I can get involved with, and since I want to possibly major is social work they have programs that can help me experience with different types of kids and what they go through. It's out of state so I would have to live on campus, but I have wide variety on where I want to live. The school seems like the type that wants to make sure you're comfortable and are on the right path. They want all their students to be successful in the end. I feel like this University is a good fit for me, but I'm still looking something closer.
