Housing Choices
Pittsburgh is a friendly town with quiet neighborhoods and lively entertainment spots. The North Fayette Campus is located between downtown Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh International Airport, nestled in the small town of Oakdale.
Rolling fields, working farms and local businesses surround the 180-acre campus. It’s not unusual to spot deer and turkey on the horizon as you come up the school's driveway. While rural in appearance, students easily can access shopping, movies, sporting events or the attractions of suburban and city living.
This central Airport Corridor campus location provides many housing choices for PTI students. For those students under the age of 21 who prefer school-sponsored housing, PTI offers several apartment-style or residence hall-style living choices located in surrounding neighborhoods.
School-Sponsored Housing
School-sponsored housing units are available in a variety of bedroom and bathroom configurations,
and includes utilities such as gas, electric and local phone service. Most
complexes offer other amenities such as a community rooms, exercise room, or transportation to North Fayette Campus. Learn about our Housing Programs.

Greg DeFeo, PTI president, anticipates a summer 2009 completion. "This student housing project, right on our 180-acre campus in Oakdale, will enhance the campus experience we can offer students who come to us from areas beyond a commutable distance. When we are able to turn keys and access cards over to new housing students they will enjoy comfortable and secure living on-campus just steps from their academic building and not far from the conveniences of the airport corridor."
