Is Irvis Hall the best dorm at Pitt?

The only real complaint I have is difficulty of getting to and from class, but it wasn't terrible since Irvis is right next to the Chevron steps. Otherwise, I would say the quality of the room I lived in was fine, it felt a bit small at times but never too cramped. All the amenities were very good!

If you don't mind a bit of a hike (or bus ride) to classes, Irvis is a great place to live. Suite style setups are nice if you have a group from freshman year

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.

I really enjoyed living in Irvis. The only problem that my roommates and I had was a roof leak that took multiple patches to finally fix. The maintenance staff were very friendly and capable, it was just a shitty joint in the roof rubber.
