i love this school. its a nice urban campus thats probably bigger than alot of people would think. this school also has a wide range of diverse people.
LaQueisha from Pittsburgh, PA
It's much different than a typical campus because it is right in downtown Pittsburgh, so it is a much different experience than campus life at a typical campus college. The class sizes are small and it makes it much easier to communicate with your teacher. Point Park is very much an arts school and concentrates very strongly on majors such as dance, musical theatre, or media communications
