Do you know what the weekly hour limit is for Work-Studies? At Bradford, it’s 8hr/wk.

</p>

<p>No idea, but as an engineer you can try to work in a research lab for 10+ hours a week making up to $10/hr. An extra $400/month (before taxes) certainly wouldn’t hurt I imagine.</p>

-Do you know many people that have transferred from CCAC?

</p>

<p>Again I don’t know, you might want to check the CCAC website (or, you know, have your girlfriend do that since it’s her education, not yours).</p>

The free bus rides are indeed a relief, though I am wary of the safety (Bradford doesn’t really have buses).

</p>

<p>The buses are really safe for the neighborhoods that you would bother to travel to. I’m a girl and I always take the bus alone at various times of day/night. It won’t be a problem at all (a LOT of students use the bus).</p>

Do you know if PSU offers merit scholarships based on GPA? Pitt doesn’t and that would mean a lot in my decision, as I don’t want to incur a lot of debt.

</p>

<p>Pitt does offer merit scholarships (especially in SSOE) however I’m not sure whether or not they give them to transfer students, since most of them tend to be given to freshman as they come in.</p>
