Message: [QUOTE="Greedo, post: 4267699, member: 9992"] I agree, the fit at Pitt would be good, but the drive is definitely farther to Pitt. I didn't grow up far from Philly. The drive to UConn took me 4 hours on the dot 9/10 times, and 5 hours to Pitt (where I visited friends often). The other 1/10 drives to UConn took around 7 hours with traffic, but those times were rare. As someone who grew up in PA, Pittsburgh feels like a totally different state. There's eastern PA, then a bunch of nothingness in the middle, then Pittsburgh. If he truly cares about distance to home and UConn is too far, then Pitt would not be a good fit. But I tend to think he doesn't actually care about distance to home, and he just needed give a generic reason. We've all done it. [/QUOTE]
