Pitt Law Favorites: One of my favorite things about this school are the people and the professors. They are all so incredibly kind, welcoming, and eager to help you grow. The community here is pretty tight knit and students, whether they are 1L, 2L, or 3L really just want to see you succeed and enjoy the experience of law school. One of my favorite places in the building is the 4th floor library. On the far wall to the right of the elevators is a room with tables and windows to study in, and it provides a nice break to view Cathy and parts of the campus below.
