Around Town

Carlow University is located in Oakland, PA a small neighborhood in the city of Pittsburgh, Oakland is also home to the University of Pittsburgh main campus and Carnegie Mellon University. Additionally, there are several other colleges and universities with in 5 miles, including Duquesne University, Point Park University and Chatham University.

What NOT to do for fun? You're in the heart of Pittsburgh. There are museums, libraries, other universities, and plenty of other things to walk to; and Carlow itself has, on campus: a theatre, a gym, a pool (though I'm hydrophobic, so I won't be taking advantage of that), computer labs, a nice library, free wifi, places to hang out, and activities constantly being planned for the students. The whole place is just full of life and full of things to do.

Carlow offers a lot of activities that are offered on campus, with other universities near by and right in a good location.

Take part in Global Awareness Days and other on campus activities. If you don't like these, walk around Oakland and visit different places to eat. You can walk to the Carnegie Library and museums.

Oakland is a very lively city with so much to do. There are hundreds of food places within a five minute walk. The South Side Works is a short bus ride down the street with a movie theater, dining, and ice skating during the winter months. There's also a bunch of activities on campus, such as movie nights, bingo!, and more.

The college has a lot to offer for traditional and non traditional students.

There's ALWAYS activities! Movies, trips, tailgates. You name it, I guarantee it's going on here. And if it isn't, you can ask your RA and she'll almost always plan it for you. Most of the time the activities are free (sponsored by CAB) or really cheap. The University of Pittsburgh's campus is also 2 steps away, so if you can't find something on campus.. Oakland is ALWAYS full of things to do.

Luckily, Carlow is in Oakland, and right down the street from the University of Pitt. There are plenty of places to eat and the South Side is only a five minute bus ride away, so shopping is close by.

Oakland is a college city, carlow parties, pittsburgh university parties, late night eateries, and college night at whim (club).
