I guess your best bet is to find a boyfriend and move in with him and let him worry about the bills.
The scenic views people talks about are only a imagination. It doesn't matter where you live, when you have to go to work everyday and make a living, you don't see it anyways.
I would suggest that you find a permanent job in Pittsburgh before you make the move. Something where you will know that you will have a income week after week.
Pittsburghers are some of the most friendly people in the world, don't let anyone kid you and I can show you some of the best pizza shops around Pittsburgh - that are as good as or better then the best Sicilian pizza New Yorkers could ever make.
The further away from the city's, the better the food gets!
Bar B Q - you don't have to look no further then Clem's - outside of Blairsville along RT 22.
There are several good pizza shops along RT 30 west of Greensburg, down towards Irwin and North Versailes / East McKeesport. One that comes to my mind is Mr. Mikes in Irwin.
Not to mention one of the largest Walmarts in the world in North Versailes..
No matter what you do, in the end you need some sort of transportation and you cannot rely on the buses to get around.
A city is a city, no matter where you live, you will always have to deal with traffic and weather.
Penndot does a excellent job of keeping the roads clear and there is no real ice or snow on the main roads during the wintertime because they keep them plowed and salted 24 hours a day.
Parking is the big thing in the city. You will pay as much to park your car someplace as you will pay in rent to live.
You are sometimes better off to live in the suburbs like Greensburg then to try to live downtown - because you will not save any money that way.
What you need to look for in a apartment is gas heat and not electric.
Natural gas prices are low right now and your heating bill shouldn't be all that much, but if you have electric heat, be prepared to pay as much as $600 a month in the winter time just in heating bills alone when you get into the cheaper situations - older apartment buildings that has less insulation and charges a cheaper rate for rent.
It's not uncommon for a person to pay $900 + a month in rent to have the utilities included.
It's usually cheaper to commute 20 - 40 miles away then to live in downtown Pittsburgh.
