  • How can anyone dislike the Cathedral of Learning, Pittsburgh's very own piece of Hogwarts? Actually, I can think of at least one thing to dislike about the Cathedral, but first, the pros! The Cathedral is pretty much the "center" of Oakland and is what everything thinks of when they think of the University of Pittsburgh. This 42-story Late Gothic Revival Cathedral is the tallest educational building in the Western hemisphere and the second tallest university building (and only because another school cheated and put an antennae on the top of theirs. Seriously.). Not only is it an operating hub of the university - lots of classes are held here, professors have offices here, and there are computer labs and a cafe in the Cathedral's lower level - but it's a tourist stop and a part of the local historic scene. Stop on in during their open hours and you can take tours of the Nationality Rooms, which represent multiple heritages and cultures from across the globe. Just...here's the thing, guys, we know this is a tourist spot, but as a former student I'm begging you to try to visit during the summer or on the weekends. Students hate people peeking in with their cameras when they're trying to take a test. Trust me. Oh, and if you think that there's nothing to do here after hours when the visitor center shuts down, guess again! There's actually a therapy dog group that visits on Tuesday evenings - open to the public - and there's a student improv show on Friday nights, as well as several other evening theater events that take place throughout the year. It's kind of impressive just how much happens in here. The single con I alluded to earlier is the AWFUL thermostat or lack thereof in this building. Wear layers in here, because depending on where you stand you'll be sweating one minute and freezing the next. Oh, and while we're talking about discomfort: tourists, you may think those chairs in the Nationality Rooms are adorable, but trust me - they are the worst places to sit during 90 minute classes. If you haven't been here yet, definitely check it out. And Hail to Pitt!
