Graduate Housing
Most Swanson School graduate students live off campus in Pittsburgh's walkable, well-connected neighborhoods. Oakland, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Side are popular choices, many within walking or biking distance of Benedum Hall. Pittsburgh consistently ranks among the most affordable major cities in the country, and graduate students benefit from a wide range of housing options at every price point.
All Pitt students ride Pittsburgh Regional Transit buses, light rail, and inclines throughout Allegheny County fare-free with a valid Pitt ID - making it easy to live beyond Oakland and still get to campus quickly.
