What are your general comments?

Everyone at Pitt was really friendly. The school definitely has great facilities if you are interested in research. The students all seemed really friendly, I got the feeling Pitt is non-competitive. My faculty interviewer was really nice, gave me positive feedback. However, the lack of diversity in Pittsburgh turned me off.
