Mark2climb- Thanks for the reply... would you recommend taking the part time classes in advance? Did you have any trouble getting financial aid, grants, and loans? Also, where do you live in Pittsburgh?! I have been looking around trying to find a place, but don't know the area.. any suggestions? How is the program so far? BTW, my bro lives in Denver and it is a beautiful place, how does it compare with the burgh? Thanks!
