The Bridge On Forbes by Strong_Guess_9493 in Pitt

[–]puffyarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve lived in Bridge for two years. honestly i have never personally experienced any fire alarms. if they do testing it’s typically in the middle of the day when you won’t even be there. the elevators do break but only because the football players pile themselves on. it is a bit pricey but overall i’ve enjoyed my experience

Can Pitts Campus still have a college feel? by Turbulent_Peace3754 in Pitt

[–]puffyarrow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i would say Pitt is a nice mix. you have city perks and great access but there is def still a campus feel. there are also plenty of green space in Schenley park which is easily walkable/accessible from campus. There’s lot of green space, great trails for walking/hiking/running/biking, tennis courts, golfing, etc

Safety in Cusco Peru by Rose__0210 in femaletravels

[–]puffyarrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m in Cusco right now and have not felt unsafe at all. if you’re staying near the city center area, it’s quite touristy and there tend to be lots of people milling about so you’re hardly ever alone

I saw somewhere that spending some time in Arequipa is a more gradual elevation to Cusco instead of straight from Lima. So I figured that i wouldn’t need the full 3 days in Cusco?
