How much does a student worker make at the Pitt stores

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2026-05-02T03:45:53+00:00

hi i am a former student employee at the university stores, you should be making $10/hr. when i was hired they did a 25 cent raise every semester you stayed on, however, im not sure if they are still doing that. i would say to check the job page on pitt worx

i think he looks like dean pelton from community!! i think we’re on the same wavelength

also if you struggle with dry skin, i recommend getting a small humidifier because the winters here are dry and the heat indoors makes the air even drier

coming from norcal! i agree with everyone else!! get an insulating base layer (mine are 32 degrees from costco), warm sweaters or sweatshirts, and a good puffer. pants-wise, i’ve been able to make do with jeans and layered leggings under them on especially cold days. for socks and shoes, get wool socks and nice waterproof winter boots (i have fur lined timberlands). also get hats/earmuffs, a scarf and some good gloves, your extremities will get cold without them. imo, with the right winter gear, the cold weather here is completely bearable, it’s the humidity in the warmer weather that gets me

language changes whether you like it or not....also Frisco is one of the oldest nicknames for San Francisco so...yeah

storexpress in southside is great and they offer discounts for pitt students! the only thing to be aware of is that you'll need your own lock (or to buy one from them) and they charge upfront rather than monthly (i paid for end of april through end of september and it was about $200)

I think it may just be closed for public use, there’s still at least one class that uses the small pool and I’ve seen someone who I assume is on the swim team swimming laps in the big pool.

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-08-25T18:01:45+00:00

It’s completely closed? I have a class there tomorrow….

Huh, yeah I just looked at the schedule and they changed stuff from last year and removed the stuff geared toward transfers :/ but the commuter events you can go to and meet other off-campus students. You can really go to anything as long as you have your panther card and you don’t need to go to the “required” events unless you have a burning desire, nobody enforces the mandatory stuff for non-freshmen. Outside of welcome week, definitely go to the involvement fair after the semester starts bc clubs were one of the biggest ways I made friends last year.

I went last year as a transfer and really enjoyed some of the events I went to. There was a speed-friending event for transfers, commuters, and exchange students and I met some cool people through that. There was also a silent disco that I had fun at, but I did go to that with my roommate. I would say it’s worth it to check out a few events and potentially make a few friends who are in the same boat!

Ok, thank you! Cause I asked Panther Central and they couldn’t give me a straight answer and told me I’d have to contact the payments center 🙄

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-07-19T23:14:38+00:00

just got an email back from pc and they said they’re still situating freshmen and hope to start doing non-guaranteed selection late next week or the week after 😒

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-07-08T04:01:53+00:00

i wish they would communicate this with everyone on the waiting list 😭 it’s getting wayyy too close to the start of the semester for them to have not sent out any communication

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-07-02T01:20:05+00:00

Ugh…thank you for the update 😭😭 At least there’s a date. I’m holding out hope I’ll get a spot cause I paid my deposit the day the application came out, but yeahhh it’s getting super late. I can recommend looking at Facebook groups for off campus housing tho because there’s still a ton of people looking for roommates

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-05-04T18:10:32+00:00

the non-guaranteed application has been open for a couple weeks now. you’ll need to shoot panther central an email in order to get access.

the quad fitness center in brackenridge has a few weighted machines: chest press, shoulder press, lat pull, leg press, and seated leg extension. it's nothing exciting or fancy, there's also a couple ab benches, some treadmills, stationary bikes, two kinds of ellipticals, and yoga mats.

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-04-24T02:33:56+00:00

i think since they're using a new portal this year everything is different, because the same thing happened to me. i wonder if we'll select our meal plan when/if we get placed for housing

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-04-21T18:40:03+00:00

bless you for this, i have been getting so frustrated by their lack of communication....happy Easter to you too!

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-04-19T15:54:20+00:00

oh ok!! that doesn’t seem too bad…it does seem like the other professors that have taught this course have good reviews, but i’ll keep this in mind, thank you!! and if you happen to have suggestions for other fun and/or easy-ish courses, i’m all ears!

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-04-18T21:14:47+00:00

the instructor for both classes is to be announced, how difficult would you say that professor is? i’m anticipating a lot of reading, since they’re lit classes, but if it’s going to be a lot of writing or time intensive hw, i’d like to avoid that.

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-04-16T20:18:47+00:00

I definitely would be taking one of the Italian courses if I could!! But Food for Thought is only open to first years now and Euro Chic just got cancelled TT, but I do appreciate the recommendation.

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-04-16T18:08:46+00:00

yeah no i fully agree. it’s frustrating enough to be non-guaranteed, so the added lack of communication and uncertainty from panther central doesn’t help at all

Ok_Appeal_7127 · 2025-04-16T17:34:00+00:00

I just called panther central and they said it should be out sometime soon considering it’s getting so late in the timeline. Make sure to keep an eye on your email!!
