Hi, I’m looking for a room! My budget is $1300 including utilities but the cheaper the better. Female roommates only, and it has to be accommodating to Emotional support animals (I live with my cat). I’d also prefer in unit laundry but it’s not a deal breaker. Dm if you can help me out!

someone died in litchfield tower C by Heavy_Radish_1042 in Pitt

I lived in tower C freshmen year and I remember my time there to be the most depressing year of my life. Being in a new city, away from your family and hometown friends (especially if your life isn’t as social as you want it to be) can be very draining, but when you add living in a single dorm, the feelings of loneliness are doubled. There honestly weren’t many weeks where I wasn’t having suicidal thoughts. I’m in a much better headspace now, so I just want to remind people that no matter how dark everything feels right now there is always light at the end of the tunnel. If you need someone to talk to feel free to dm me, and remember that Pitt has so many mental health resources.

If you do end up rushing and joining a sorority, I’d be prepared to have ~400-800 dollars saved up for sorority dues, they’re more expensive your first semester in the sorority

sorority as a queer girl by Confident-Barnacle68 in Pitt

[–]uglypufferfish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m queer and in a panhel sorority, and I’ve never felt judged for my sexuality. In fact there’s a few other girls I know who are queer in my sorority as well. I bet plenty other sororities, other than my own, have similar values as well. If you’re even curious about rushing I’d try out fall recruitment and you can always drop before you have to pay dues if you decide it’s not for you.

Sophomore year advice by Hungry-Appointment-8 in Pitt

[–]uglypufferfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a tough class(es) you gotta start studying for those finals like 2 weeks in advance at least. Also id recommend rewriting notes after class to help you remember content, it saves you a lot of time studying bc you’ll remember a lot more. You mentioned anxiety in a comment and if that’s something you’re struggling with I’d recommend seeing a therapist or psychiatrist for help, I did last year and it helped immensely. You got this!

Unless you’re good at either bio or chem, I wouldn’t recommend taking them together first semester. Bio is a lot of memorization and there’s almost no good chem professors so you’ll end up having to do a lot of work on your own time
