The Ship2Pitt program allows students to ship 4 boxes of their belongings to the school for free, which is awesome...EXCEPT IF YOU LIVE IN HAWAII OR ALASKA, OR ANY OTHER US TERRITORY THAT'S NOT PART OF THE 48 CONTIGUOUS STATES!!! It is going to be expensive enough in order to get everything we need in order to get our daughter there, for example, airline ticket and now shipping cost for her belongings. I called University to ask about this policy and the reason they won't service Hawai', Alaska, or other territories is because they can't guarantee that the boxes will get there on time or get there safely. Guess what folks...UPS, FedEx, USPS can't 100% guarantee that boxes being shipped from the contiguous 48 states will get there safely and on time! University of Pittsburgh needs to service all the United States to include Hawai'i and Alsaka (last I checked they were still part of the USA) and other territories or take the Ship2Pitt program away entirely! This is discrimination based on geography!

This review is for the guided tour of the nationality rooms and the building itself…read more The 42 story late Gothic Revival architecture-style building was dedicated in 1937 for the University of Pittsburgh. The land it sits on in Oakland was a gift from the Mellon family. It houses 31 Nationality rooms, each nationality representing influences of communities that supported and planned their construction. The room was provided by the University. All the elements within, design, and labor was provided by the room's committee with rules being the period design be dated before the signing of our Constitution (and the founding of the University of Pittsburgh) in 1787. The building is the tallest building of learning in the Western Hemisphere, second largest in the world as of this review, second to one in Moscow. At the time of its inception, it was the tallest building in Pittsburgh, but by the time it was built, the Gulf Tower overshadowed it. Interesting tidbits -- there is excellent 360 degree viewing from the 36th floor open to the public i have yet to visit, a pair of Peregrine Falcons roost at the top, and it is supposed to be haunted. Also, note, this tall building can be seen all over Pittsburgh since there aren't any tall buildings near it for miles! I did take the guided tour of the Nationality rooms and highly recommend. Aidan was our guide for the 23 of us. He led us on a 90 minute tour, going to rooms those in our group suggested. We were able to cover 7 of the 31 rooms -- Polish, Irish, Swedish, German, Japanese. Indian, and Israel Heritage rooms. Aidan gave us interesting information about each of the rooms --materials used, artifacts, traditions. Well worth the $10. Tips are accepted and appreciated so, dont skimp! There are also self-guided tours, also $10. However, those are first come, first serve, no reservations and only available on weekends. To be noted, while classes are not in session, all rooms are locked so are only accessible by a card key from either the guided or self-guided tour. Plus. If you are on a self-guided tour, you can be interrupted by the guided tour which has precedence. Just take the guided tour for goodness sake. Oh. And one last note. On a winter day, it was wicked hot in the whole building,tall open space or the rooms. I certainly wonder who gets to pay for all that heat.

Before starting the college application process, Emilia evaluated my circumstances and advised in a manner that met my family and I needs. She gave a lot of suggestions about what I should include in my college essay, how to structure my resume and the activities I should participate in throughout high school. It was her expert advice that helped set me apart from other applicants. It was hard work, but we had realistic goals and she made sure I understood the process especially my financial aid packages and ways to negotiate for more aid. Having Emilia's help was the best thing that could have happen to me throughout the last two years of high school!

In my opinion it is incredibly ugly from the outside not in keeping with the stately yellow brick decor on the rest of campus. Love it for its function, hate it for its aesthetics. It is also ironic that Bill Gates, a college drop-out, can get his name on college buildings, donating far less tha typically required of other donors of named buildings. The Hillman's on the other hand are a treasured name in Pittsburgh philanthropy. All of in all my lower rating reflects its distraction from the attractive green roofed, yellow-brick buildings on campus. To each their own I suppose.
