Why did you choose the University of Pittsburgh?

I feel that the community at Pitt is much more supportive than any other program I've interacted with, without compromising any of the quality in education, training, and access. Here I can be part of honest conversations about not just scientific ideas but also how to live a fulfilling, healthy, and balanced life.
