About Arrival Survival

Welcome to the University of Pittsburgh

The University plans and prepares months in advance for your arrival and the arrival of 6,900 students, their parents, and all their belongings on Pitt's Oakland campus. Our planning is done with one goal in mind: to ensure your arrival on campus is as pleasant, seamless, and stress free as possible.

We want you to embark upon your journey to Pittsburgh full of confidence that you know where you're going and what to do once you get here. There's no need to try to navigate on your own! Use this site to find out what is open on campus during Arrival Survival, move-in procedures, what assistance is provided to you, what to bring with you and what to do while you're in Pittsburgh.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're at your service.
