About Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh - Most Livable City!

Carlow is just 10 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. The metropolitan center of Western Pennsylvania and one of the country's largest corporate headquarters, Pittsburgh is rich in educational, medical, entertainment, cultural and business activities.

Students enjoy the music of the world-famous Pittsburgh Symphony; thrill to the championship play of Steelers football, Pirates baseball and Penguins hockey; applaud national touring companies from Broadway and browse through outstanding art collections. Pittsburgh is also noted for its ballet and theatre companies, outdoor art festivals and river regattas. The Civic Arena, Benedum Center, Heinz Hall, Heinz Field, and PNC Park attract a wide range of major entertainment.

A short drive beyond the city limits are lush mountain areas carved by rivers and streams, offering exhilarating opportunities for skiing, white-water rafting, boating, camping, backpacking and hiking.
