FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I want to order food. What’s our address?
5115 Margaret Morrison St. Pittsburgh, PA 15213.
Speaking of food, what are my off campus options late at night?
Many restaurants in Oakland offer Half Price, where food is half-off after a certain time.
Fuel and Fuddle: Half off food from 11pm-1am (open until 2am).
Mad Mex: Half off food 11pm-1am (open until 2am).
The Porch: Half off all pizzas after 9:30pm Monday-Thursday.
You can also order food from Vocelli's (use DineX, open til 2:00am or 3:00am on Fri, Sat). The Eat n' Park in Squirrel Hill is open 24 hours and also takes DineX.
So let's say I wanted to go to Eat n' Park at 3am, can I take the bus?
No, the buses stop running between 12:30-1:00am and will not restart until around 6:00-6:30am.
But if I have an early morning flight, can I take the 28X?
The 28X starts running at 4:25am, and every 30 minutes after that until 10:55 pm.
I am still hungry, how do blocks work again?
You have a certain number of blocks for a two week period which resets at 3:30am every other Sunday. You can only use one block per block meal period.
Breakfast- 3:30:00 am – 10:29:59 am
Lunch- 10:30:00 am – 03:59:59 pm
Dinner- 4:00:00 pm – 7:59:59 pm
Late Night- 8:00:00 pm – 3:29:59 am
Can I use blocks at Entropy?
Nope, we are really sorry but Dining won't budge on this one. Use all your DineX though!
So I can use my DineX at Entropy, what about PlaidCa$h or Flex Dollars, and what are the differences between them?
You know, that's a really good question. DineX and Flex Dollars can be used at all campus dining locations, in addition to Vocelli's and Subway in Oakland, and Eat n' Park in Squirrel Hill. PlaidCa$h is even more versatile, but it doesn't come with your meal plan, so check out this link for more information.
Enough about food, I just saw a mouse/cockroach/scary creature! What do I do?
File a maintenance request here.
I want to loft my bed, and my light burnt out, and my desk is broken. What do I do?
File a maintenance request here.
My desk was actually broken when I got in my room, is that what the eLSCR thing was for?
Yes! You should fill out the electronic Living Space Condition Report (eLSCR) at the beginning and end of your stay in your room so that Housing can keep up and not fine you for something that isn't your fault.
So I just got an XBox/PS3/Printer and want to hook it up to the network. What do I do?
You'll have to identify your device's Mac address as well as a whole host of other things. Follow these instructions. If it's still not working, contact your RA.
My question is pretty frequently asked, but it's not on this page and I really think it should be! Can I submit it?
Absolutely! Email [email protected] and we'll be happy to add it.
