Customer Reviews

Must-have, especially for students

This book is a great overview of the intricacies of living in a new place. Helping this "foreigner" (from NY) use public transit, buy groceries, navigate the city, and even purchase liquor, this book was a huge help for a new computer science grad student at the University of Pittsburgh, but the audience is realistically far wider. Yes, it has the biases expected of a book written by computer science grad students (at carnegie mellon, to be exact), but that doesn't mean its advice isn't relevant to any new student, or really any new Pittsburgher. Recommended to me by my advisor, this book has become a "must-have" in my opinion, for coming to spend any amount of time in Pittsburgh.
