Pittsburgh, PA
The "City of Three Rivers" is an ideal location for AHEADD. Pittsburgh is home to more
than 50 colleges, universities, trade and technical schools. In addition to being a strong
cultural center and having one of the country's largest urban parks, Pittsburgh has an
excellent public transportation system. Although Pittsburgh has all the conveniences of an
urban setting (local shopping, restaurants, museums, clubs) it manages to maintain a
small-town atmosphere and affordable cost of living.
