Thank you so much! I will definitely keep these things in mind when apartment hunting this summer. I didn't even know snow tires existed (though of course now that you mention them, seems very practical)! It seems like the cold weather in Pittsburgh is just going to be more difficult in general, but I am looking forward to not feeling like my skin is frying out in 110 degree weather every summer .

You should see if your school has some sort of e-recruiting website set up. I also am trying to find a job for the summer to feel more stable for the move, and there are a few (not many) postings for bio-related stuff ranging from nutrition to conservation where the employers would be happy to take in a biology major. The temp idea also sounds good, at least much, much better than working in the food services!! Best of luck!

Hi everyone, I will most likely be moving to Pittsburgh from a place where it pretty much never snows. Can you all offer any advice on how to adjust to the cold, snowy winters? Are there any key things to keep in mind when apartment hunting (aside from heat being included) in such a cold city? Thank you!
