What is the Pitt Business Living Learning Community?
Bruce Hall is Pitt Business’s Living Learning Community for first year students. Incoming Pitt Business first years have the opportunity to live in a residence hall dedicated exclusively to business students that offers all the amenities of suite-style living. Bruce Hall, centrally located between Fifth and Forbes avenues and a 2-minute walk to Sennott Square, brings students together who take many of the same business classes, engage in similar student groups, and together go on an educational journey. This immersive experience provides engagement with peers outside of the classroom through an enhanced learning experience.
