Living in Pittsburgh

As a major university located within a vibrant urban setting rich in diverse traditions and cultures, the University of Pittsburgh offers students the best of big city living within the safety of friendly neighborhoods.

A valid Pitt ID gets you free or heavily discounted admission into many of Pittsburgh's very accessible cultural and sporting events. Even better, your Pitt ID can get you there fare-free via a Port Authority bus. We've included a few of our favorite links below for you to explore.
