<p>If you girlfriend is serious about Biology, she should be trying to get into Pitt-main. It is one of the best places in the country to get into the biosciences. It’s not even close compared to the other two options.</p>
<p>Remember, biology and such is a research field so getting research lab experience is critical if she actually wants to be a biologist. But if money is a concern, the advice about first taking some credits at CCAC may be a good one. But then transfer into Pitt and explore the research opportunities.</p>
<p>For you, there are lots of great internship opportunities right in Pittsburgh, since it is actually a city, so when you graduate you might be able to stay in the same location. That is a huge advantage if you want to be together and she is still finishing her degree. You’re not going to find a lot of employment options in State College.</p>
