What Pitt students say. . .

 

Q:  If I don’t spend all my free time studying, am I not doing enough work?

A:  You shouldn’t spend every minute studying.  Spend some hours each day doing what you need to do, but also try to find time to have fun.  Not burning out is just as important as being well prepared.

 

Q:  What is there to do in Pittsburgh?

A:  Since you are in school here for at least four years out of your life, make Pittsburgh work for you.  Go sightseeing one day, or chill on a nice day in front of the Cathedral lawn.  Do not let the days slip away.  Enjoy what Pittsburgh has to offer.  That includes doing some research.

 

Q:  What is the best way to manage my time between school, a job, and a social life, and most importantly, sleep?!

A:  Do not wait until the last minute to complete assignments.  At least begin them ahead of time or jot down notes on what you think you will work on later (if a paper).  Make a schedule for yourself every weekend for the following week, and at the end of every week for the weekend.  Set aside a time that you will do your work, go to work, and work it around any events planned.
