Point Park University to house some students in Downtown Pittsburgh's Wyndham Grand hotel
Some incoming freshman at Point Park University will be staying in a hotel this fall. Point Park says it's anticipating one of its largest freshman classes in history and doesn't have enough room for all of them. A spokesperson for the university says some students will be staying at the Wyndham Grand hotel near Point State Park. "Enrollment has risen enough for the fall semester, particularly with first-year freshmen, and that's what caused us to seek a hotel partner," Point Park University spokesperson Lou Corsaro told the Post-Gazette. The school says the hotel is a five to six minute walk to class and students who stay in the hotel won't have to pay any extra fees. Most students at Point Park are expected to move onto campus between August 16 and August 23. Point Park's placing students in hotels comes as the University of Pittsburgh is also putting freshman students into off-campus hotels and apartments. 400 beds have been reserved for freshman students at off-campus apartments and at the Hampton Inn on Hamlet Street. Pitt says the facilities all meet the universities' standards for safety, amenities, and access to campus resources.

A second said: "They reduced the size of the fillet so much that now you can experience what it was like to have a normal sized fillet." A third typed: "Just had one in Thailand been doing them for a while. But costs about £3.50 here. It was delicious." A McDonald's survey found a third of Brits pronounce the Filet-O-Fish incorrectly. Opting for Fil-LET instead of the correct pronunciation Fil-LAY. According to McDonald's the iconic fish sandwich dates back to 1962 in the USA, when Lou Groen, a Maccies Franchisee from Cincinnati noticed a decrease in sales on Fridays. This was because the restaurant was located in a predominantly Roman Catholic neighbourhood and catholics abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Lou convinced the chain to introduce a fish option for customers affected.
