4. Ahh, the University of Pittsburgh.

My best friend in the whole world went there in the 1960s. Many decades later I paid a visit to him, and we toured the campus. He took me to the Cathedral of Learning. I'd never even heard of it and I was totally blown away. For those of you, probably most of you, who don't know about it, it's a very tall structure that houses many classrooms which have been decorated/furnished by various other countries. They are all amazing. My friend took me through it and was able to say, "Here is where I had a French class." "Here is where I had a linguistics class." It is truly one of the most amazing educational facilities anywhere. Period. If you had a kid considering Pitt, I'd say, YES! GO THERE!

Okay, so pretty much every college and University has its own special things, but trust me, as someone who has herself attended some six different community colleges and universities, whose sons have collectively attended another seven such, the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning is in a class all by itself.
