About Pittsburgh PA

Pittsburgh Skyline

Beyond campus, you’ll benefit from all the amenities of a world-class city.

At La Roche a residential campus doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on big-city living. Downtown Pittsburgh is only a 15-minute drive away, which means your college experience will include visits to famous museums, renowned sports venues and a dynamic cultural district.

With an economy largely based on health care, education, technology and financial services, Pittsburgh is an opportunity-filled city. Whether you want to intern or network with industry leaders, you won’t be far from the headquarters of many global corporations and Fortune 500 companies.

Pittsburgh has been ranked:
