Pittsburgh provides more access to office hours, study groups, and terrible cafeteria food. NY can’t be beat for recruiting - you’re right there where most of the jobs are. I chose Pitt because I knew I’d need the extra help, and recruiting is less important for me than academics. I only want to change on the days I have to schlep to an airport, then fly, schlep to a meeting, schlep back to the airport, fly again, then schlep home.
