  • SURVIVAL GUIDE Helpful Information About Living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
    SURVIVAL GUIDE Helpful Information about Living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Compiled by: Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon Partners Club Survival Guide 2008 Dear First Year Students and Partners: Welcome to the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon and to Pittsburgh! You’re probably experiencing a mix of emotions right now—from excitement to anxiety. Not only are you uprooting your lives to attend graduate school, but also, for most of you, this entails moving to a new city— perhaps even a new country! So, we’ve assembled this guide to assuage your apprehension, ease your relocation, and introduce you to some of the fantastic things Pittsburgh has to offer. Pittsburgh has a somewhat dubious reputation. The most prevalent characterization of Pittsburgh is probably that of a blue-collar industrial city. Yet, when people actually have the opportunity to visit and explore here, they are pleasantly surprised. Pittsburgh’s unique charm may not be obvious at first glance, many of its wonderful attributes not immediately evident. But they are most definitely there—waiting to be discovered across one of the abundant bridges or over one of the numerous hills that dot the landscape. In many ways, Pittsburgh is an anomaly of itself—just when you think you have it figured out, it reveals something new. Pittsburgh boasts a motley assortment of neighborhoods that offer extensive dining, shopping and entertainment. Family-run ethnic markets stand alongside trendy martini bars. Greasy spoon Pittsburgh institutions serving up “native” dishes like pierogies flank quaint galleries showcasing up-and-coming artists. There are certain names that you will continually hear—Carnegie, Heinz, Frick and Mellon to name a few.
