Is Tower A the best dorm at Pitt?

Towers only advantage was the location. The rooms are tiny, enough for 1 person to be comfortable but with 2 people in there it was incredibly cramped. If you live on the lower floors good luck sleeping on weekends without hearing drunk students on the patio

Towers has a lot of energy which is a fun dorm but it can also be really loud. Kinda small rooms but its freshmen year. The location is the best

I lived here in 2019 and living in towers honestly wasn't terrible. The location was really nice because everything was right there. You are only a few minutes from Cathy, so even when it rains or snows it's not a bad walk to class. The size of the room is small- it's seriously a shoebox-but if you manage your space well it's actually sort of cozy.

Overall, I enjoyed living in towers. One con is that two of the elevators only go to every third floor. The rooms are small but my roommate and I were fine since we were relatively neat. It's nice to have the dining hall and laundry room right in the lobby. It's also a pretty central location which is great when you are trying to get around campus.

Overall I wouldn't have chosen to live in another dorm! Everyone on my floor was super chill, and noise wasn't a huge problem. The room shape took a little bit of time to get used to, but as long as you and your roommate use the space well size definitely won't be a problem. I never had a problem with there not being enough showers but keep in mind that some people will treat the bathroom like crap, and it will get very gross sometimes. It was so convenient being right above Market also! I never had a problem with the elevator bc I lived on the 2nd floor, but keep in mind if you live on any higher floors that only 1/3 elevators stop on every floor, the other 2 stop on every third floor! There isn't any sort of kitchen area, and not every floor has a lounge.
