Known as the “Symbol of Life and Spirit of Pittsburgh," there have been claims that the Early American Room is haunted, as people witnessed furniture moving, candles lighting and strange odors.

Simply gorgeous - a must see. Check out the nationalities rooms on floors 2&3. If you are visiting in December don't miss the crows migration - the sheer number of birds around is scarily amazing.

The entrance hall is extremely cool, but I was really missing a sign with a directory of where to go, what's open to the public, where to find the nationality rooms and how far up you can go.

Check out the show at homecoming , where they have a laser show and shoot fireworks off the building. It's awesome!

Ian Everhart

During the fall/ winter exam period, they light up the awesome big fireplaces on the main floor. Try to find a space near one to study!

Did you know: The Cathedral is the 2nd tallest university building in the world. It is also the second tallest gothic-styled building in the world. Fantastic views of Oakland .

Go while school is not in session. The nationality rooms are fantastic, but these are classrooms during the school year, so closed to the public.

Mike Stayton

Head to the Nationality Rooms on the first and third floors. There are almost 30 of them and they keep adding more. I like the Armenian Room. What's your favorite?

If you want an awesome place to study that has a good, quiet atmosphere on a weeknight, head up to the honors college and relax.

The pride of Pitt. Be sure to take a tour of the Nationality Rooms , especially around Christmas when they’re all decorated.

Lower floors: Hogwarts and international awesomeness. Upper floors: standard college classroom / office building .

Catch the fireworks and laser show homecoming weekend. Seeing fireworks shot off of the Cathedral is something you shouldn't miss!

Go to the 36th floor (before they close at 6pm) and check out the awesome views of Oakland , Downtown, and Schenley Park .

On Tuesday nights during the academic year they bring therapy dogs to the main hall!

The white chocolate mochas in the coffee shop on G floor are really good. The regular coffee is awful, but will straighten your hair and keep you very alert!

The highest you can go up is the 37th floor, but there are 40 floors total.
