Pittsburgh, PA

When Pittsburgh was yet again named one of the most livable cities in August 2015, it came as no surprise to us at Chatham. You’ll find an easy and safe town to get around, a comfortable cost of living, a ton of things to do (as well as free public transit using your Chatham ID). These are just some of the reasons why so many people who come here for college end up staying.
