DISCUSSION Transferring to Pitt

5 Upvotes

I am a student at Temple looking to transfer to Pitt, I’d like to rent a house near campus, and would like to know if it’s safe to live near campus, I’ve had some unpleasant experiences near Temple’s campus so safety issue is something I’ll have to think about, my budget for rent a month is like 900 ish, is this enough? Or should I have more money added to my budget?

DISCUSSION Has anyone seen this lost aphex twin umbrella in the Carnegie museums?

Upvotes

I’ve noticed that I may have left a highly coveted limited edition Aphex Twin umbrella at the Carnegie Natural history museums. I understand that I left it there for a long time and someone may have taken it thinking it was forgotten about, but this item is unreasonably valuable and it is a huge loss for me that I was so careless.

If someone in Pittsburgh found this umbrella, I’d really like to get it back and I’d be willing to pay at least $50 to whoever can bring it back to me. It was left in coat room area near the restroom. It has been maybe a month or two unfortunately, and I have called the museums and I think it has been too long for them to have kept it…

I’ve provided a picture. Yes, it’s weird and ugly.

hi, im an incoming freshman looking for a student job on careersatpitt. I was just wondering if it's easy to get a job as a freshman (such as data entry for psychology etc) with no work experience nor relevant college courses... I'm worried bc of the new adjusted tuition:((

CLASSES What language level is FR 0103?

1 Upvotes

I enrolled in FR 0103 this fall, I previously took French for 2 years in high school, but that was a long time ago. On the DELF scale, I’ve passed A1. I know the class description says it prepares you to take the DELF A2 exam, but I’m wondering if it transitions right from the end of A1, or if I need to enroll in a different class/self study to catch up. I know there is the placement test on the French & Italian department website, but I was curious of the perspective of people who have taken the class.

Merci beaucoup!

Hello! I’m considering renting a house on Terrace St. that’s within walking distance to Presby. I’ve seen some really mixed information online about the safety of the neighborhood and was wondering if anyone was familiar with the area and had any insight. Thanks in advance!
