Pittsburgh has a great set of resources for those interested in biology, in addition to leading hospitals, there is a great zoo, aviary, conservatory and museum. At Pitt, the professors are committed to both teaching and research, and they encourage interaction. Going to Pitt gave me the opportunity to pursue research as an undergrad and the foundations to continue research on a wide variety of topics in biology. No matter what your interests are, it's easy to find someone with the same interests. As a post-doctoral researcher at Cornell University, I'm identifying the genetic basis of size in dogs. My time at Pitt was key for developing my interests and skills in biology.
