This page contains necessary information for new coming graduate student, such as apartment search. It provides a rough idea how CMU area looks like and where to find supplies for living (food and grocery), in order to familiarize new students with CMU area and ease their transition to this new place.

• Where to live, eat and shop for food
• Asian Food in Strip District
• Don’t have a car? Take a bus! Link to PAT bus schedule here. (Ride for free with CMU ID)
• Feeling bored? Things to do in Pittsburgh. (Shopping places, Museums, Amusement Park, Zoo, etc.) This page is adapted from http://www.cmu.edu/enrollment/admission/todo/pittsburgh.html
• Worried about your study live? The students already in the program are your best resource. Feel free to email any Thai students in your program. Here is the list of current Thai students in CMU. (All email ID are followed by @andrew.cmu.edu)
• More information for CMU students. Here!

Note:

There is a bus (28X) from the Pittsburgh International Airport directly to CMU. It’s $2 and stopping right in front of CMU. Taking a taxi costs around $40-$60, but more convenient.

We hope that this will help to familiarize you with how to get around in Pittsburgh.
