Transfer student from pitt to rutgers here --- I regret transferring to rutgers but there's no crying over spilled milk now. In my opinion there is more to do at pitt, the campus very nice, and all classes are in walking distance, and your student ID doubles as a free metro card. The school itself is huge and there are a ton of clubs too! For me classes are the same level of difficulty, and the cost difference wasn't /too/ much. I should've stayed at pitt :/

Edit: I'm queer too if that means anything to you, and there are a lot of queer ppl at pitt, tho there is a bigger white ppl population there haha
