About Pitt EM and Pittsburgh
What do you like best about living in Pittsburgh/Western PA?
The different parts of Pitt all have a great street with bars, restaurants, and stores that are fun to explore.
Where did you choose to live, and why?
Lawrenceville because it is close to all the hospitals and is the "younger" section of Pitt.
Based on your experiences, what advice would you give to incoming applicants about moving to the 'Burgh?
Start looking for an apartment early! Talk to multiple people about where the best places are to live.
