oh lord DONT live in south Oakland. Shady side, better parts of south side, squirrel hill. In general Oakland sucks unless your a freshman. What made you want to come here anyway?!

Craigslist sucks but it's really the best way to find stuff in and around Oakland.

PM darco, he'll be at Pitt again next year and I just graduated. I'll be working about 20 minutes away from campus and skiing at Springs whenever I can. There aren't a ton of park skiers at Pitt, but join the snowboard club (PIST). There are a lot of cool people to ride with there. If you're looking for more "networking" in the area, I can give you a list of skiers in the area who are on NS. Springs has a really inviting and easy going vibe, so it's always really easy to ski with new people.

Only live on east carson if you want to deal with people puking on your house and massive drunken fights breaking out every night at 2am.

South Oakland is party central.... it's what you'd expect from any city college town.... the houses are a little run down and its not the cleanest of places but its where all the parties will be.

North Oakland is actually a lot nicer in my opinion and if I were going to Pitt I'd either want to live there or Shadyside.

southside > shadyside. you can find much better apartments or houses for a much better price. i lived in shadyside last year and didn't really like it.

Did you find a place to live? Because I may be getting a pretty good job in Pittsburgh, and wouldn't mind a roommate if I get an apartment there

I'm at Pitt this year doing research. I'll be heading up to 7 springs most weekends if anyone wants to carpool.
