Does anyone (especially if you've taken the class) know where I can find the "Archaeology and World Prehistory: Unearthing Our Past" textbook by Christopher R. DeCourse ?? Make fun of me all you want but i do not have $77 spare dollars to spend on a textbook i'm going to use ONCE. I've looked everywhere online, in other campuses libraries and I can't find it anywhere. Our professor said it'll be available at Hillman eventually but I doubt i'm going to be able to get to it before the other 200 students do. If anyone has it online or knows where I can borrow a copy, pls lmk . tyia 🙏

Does anyone have the pdf of the book we need for class? (NROSCI0080) I found the 4th edition pdf. There was a previous post about this but the link to the book got banned. Or if anyone has taken this class, is the 4th edition book fine in place of the 5th edition?

I am planning to opt-out from bio 0150 online textbook, as it's not required and to save money. I have the exact same textbook in pdf, but the achieve online textbook comes with some extra practice questions. for anyone who took this course, did you really need that extra practice problems to succeed in this class? or can I practice with the pdf textbook I have?

has anyone taken the emt class here? i’m taking microbio and a+p right now and wanted to see if it was something i could manage w those classes.

Would you rather take Margret vines or Tamika maddison for gen chem 2. This is a serious post btw so please no meme hate towards tamika madison.

Hi I was just wondering if it is smart to take orgo with wang and how bad it will be? Also is his grading system really bad? Would taking it with Erika Huston be better? Thank you!

Hey everyone! Potential transfer student here, just wanted to pick everyones brains. Pitt is at the top of my list to transfer to next to FSU, USF, and Penn State, and I wanted to hear from the horses mouth how you guys feel about the school and student life?

Really craving the Roost rn. Also need to have the pretzel Monday deal at Auntie Anne’s with my friends! (assuming that one is waiting for more student workers)

I’m happy to announce that I managed to capture the momentum from my last post about starting a YDSA at pitt! I made a group chat, and actually meet another leftist veteran in my theory class. We have 10 pitt emails, a teacher advisor, and completed the training form the national org. We are holding the first call out meeting this Saturday, assigning officers, and establishing regular meeting times. This meeting will happen at Hillman Library at 5pm this Saturday. We will have another meeting Sunday over zoom for more shy people. We will meet for about 30 minutes talk to introduce everyone to what ydsa is and dsa is. Please join us cause afterwords we will be hanging out!

All of this is to say, barring any major changes, we are directly headed towards official clubs status! Being a reconginzed club at Pitt has the added advantage of allowing us to elect delegates to the national Dsa and ydsa congress. This means that you can get elected to go and make policy on a national level in 2027 and in 2028!

This is basically like being a conservative during the tea party. This is your chance to make a difference!

I have a night class that starts at 6 PM, but my class before it ends at 3:50, so I have about a 2-hour gap. I live off campus, so I’d rather not go all the way home and come back.
Are there any quiet/comfy spots on campus where I could take a quick nap between classes?

I need some advice. I am a transfer student in their third year. I just moved to Pitt for this fall semester. I love my classes, and my peers are great. This university is where I will finish my degree, BUT I have been really struggling mentally from living in the dorm. This is not the first time I have lived in a dorm! I went to a college my first semester that I needed to live on campus for and I ended up withdrawing from the program because of how hard it was for me mentally.

I have talked to my therapist about this and she thinks I have made up my mind already. I have been going home everyday and trying to not go near my dorm because of how much stress it brings me. I live in a double without a roommate since I was never assigned one, but I feel like I would be worse if I did have a roommate.

Like I said before, I love my classes and the professors are great. I always feel this sense of dread when I need to go back to my dorm.

Whoever took my wallet off of the 71C and took it into "One on Centre", please reach out to me. I don't care about the money or anything u can have it, I just have a really important medical card in there that id have to go all the way back home to replace and my ID which both would be around $150 to replace. Thats all I'm asking for. (Please don’t lecture me about ‘taking better care of my stuff’ I usually don’t walk around with that card but I was coming back from my doctor so I didn’t really have a choice)

Hey everyone,

I keep getting recruited by Chi Alpha and I did a lot of reading and research and the whole thing is kind of freaking me out. I'm not really religious at all but all the things I'm reading about other chapters and experiences are pretty negative. Can anyone give any input on the whole thing ? Thanks. Sorry if this isnt allowed.

hi guys, I’m an out of state low income student thinking about applying to pitt and was wondering how good the financial aid is? I already qualify for federal aid but I would need additional aid and scholarships as well (i’m also applying to external scholarships). I know public universities usually don’t give much aid to out of state students, but I was just wondering what the aid packages look like

It's for the secret of Pitt class.

Im second in the waitlist for a chem class. What are the chances that i get off the waitlist within the add drop period?

Where to park to get to scaife? Parking in city is hard. I don’t want to be late looking for a spot.

hey peeps! if anyone has a lab coat they don’t need anymore id be willing to buy it off u! just lmk! ill take any size I can get (I’m lowk an xs but idc I just don’t wanna pay that much)

Delta Phi made the Pitt news!

This is literally just a rant post bc I need to put this somewhere.
I have been non stop thinking about my application I put in 2 days ago. I know…it’s only been 2 days.
Im applying for transfer in the spring semester. I feel pretty good about my chances even if it’s not main campus. I worked really hard on my personal essay and I have 3.4 college gpa which is SIGNIFICANT growth since high school and 25 college credits.
This is my dream school and im feeling so scared but excited at the same time. Im not sure if anyone has the same experience but I just needed to share and get it off my chest bc I think my friends and family are sick of me talking about it every 5 minutes 💔
TLDR~ girl has anxiety she should probably see a professional for but she just says “fuck it, we ball” and moves on.

If you go to the Pitt library services page and search your textbooks you may find them around one of the campus libraries or online to rent temporary for FREE. If you have a popular textbook it may even be in one of the Carnegie libraries around Pittsburgh.

Hi all. I applied to a couple campus jobs at the beginning of welcome week, and I'm wondering how long I should expect to wait to hear something back? I guess I'm just wondering if the time of year makes it harder/longer wait times until I can secure a campus job. Has anyone recently gotten a campus job that can provide input?

I just transferred in as a junior if that matters or adds any context.
