Best University of Pittsburgh dorms

Number 5

"Overall I had a great experience in this dorm. You’re provided with a table, 2 chairs, 2 mattresses/frame, 2 dressers, 2 desks with chairs, a microwave, a fridge, and the private bathroom. There’s 2 washers and 3 dryers on each floor, and a giant laundromat room on the ground floor if your own floor machines are occupied. You do have great access to the Pete or The Perch, but you have more walking/busing compared to students on lower campus. You’ll appreciate lower campus if you ever need to wait for the shuttle in rain storms. For upperclassmen I would recommend Irvis/Pennsylvania. Just know that you are a lot more secluded on upper campus which can be both a blessing a curse." - 4 years ago

"The dorm rooms here are excellent. They are spacious and are arguably better than Nordenberg. The big issue with this dorm is it’s location on upper campus. If you don’t mind taking the 10A or hiking up Cardiac Hill, this is a very solid dorm for upperclassmen." - 4 years ago

Number 3

"There's either the 4 person suite or the 6 person suite. Both suites have small kitchens with a microwave and sink.

The 4 person suite has one bathroom and a medium-size common room with a couch and a couple of chairs.

The 6 person suite has 3 doubles and two bathrooms. The common room is huge, and it's right next to the laundry unit (highly recommend)." - 4 years ago

Number 2

"It's the most sought-after dorm on campus for a reason. Having your own bedroom, bathrooms, and kitchen is pretty awesome. I think living here provides a good transition between living in a traditional dorm and moving off campus to an apartment. I wasn't in the new building (J), but everything was still nice and maintenance issues were pretty rare and quickly fixed by Panther Central. Sometimes laundry was an issue as there were only 2 washers and 2 dryers for our entire building. Probably the biggest downside for me was being on the ground floor - all windows in our apartment looked right out onto the walking paths and if the blinds were open anyone walking by would be able to see right into my bedroom, so go for an upper floor if you can." - 3 years ago

Number 1

"It is the newest res hall on campus, so there weren’t too many problems. Outside of getting food, you can basically do everything else in the building. On the 3rd floor, there are private music rooms and printer (so helpful for last minute assignments) and a patio. Each floor also has their own washer/dryers and separated genders by wing, so you can get to know other people much easier. It is also smack in the middle of campus, so getting to class takes at most 10 minutes walking. The only bad things about the place is the hand dryers in the bathroom are ridiculously loud. I lived 3 doors down from the bathroom and heard them even with my door completely shut. The other is that the AC unit is set to only 70 degrees, even if you change it to 60 or 80" - 4 years ago
