Most of us live within 10-15 minutes of campus, though there are some that live further out, closer to Pittsburgh and they say that traffic isn't bad because they're usually going in the opposite direction. I know a couple people who also live in Monroeville and Jeanette (though I'm not sure how I personally feel about Jeanette). I hear Monroeville is a nice area and was looking at nice apartments there myself, but if you're going to choose based on amenities, the area less than 10 minutes west and east of Greensburg also has Walmart, Target, mall, gyms...etc. I live in South Greensburg, a lot of students live just a couple minutes west and east off of St. Rt. 30 and a lot of students live in central Greensburg. I personally chose to live so close to the school because driving on St. Rt. 30 drove me nuts. Sometimes throughout the day traffic is really heavy and there are red lights everywhere. Granted, you generally should be going the opposite flow of traffic, but we have some odd schedules so this is not always the case. Again, though, the people I know who live further out aren't bothered by the distance or traffic....it just drove me nuts. I walked from a bar in central Greensburg to a friends further east at 2 am (distance maybe a couple miles) and I felt perfectly fine, though I was with people. The next day I walked from south Greensburg through the city to central Greensburg by myself and it was perfectly fine (for reference, I'm 4'10 and not a threatening looking individual, so It's not like I scared all the bad people away; it legit feels like a safe area). If you're looking for places, craigslist and Padmapper are great sources. Also, keep an eye on the class Facebook page and your email because info goes out on the outgoing M2s looking for ppl to take over their place, the incoming M2s looking for roommates, and people in your own class looking for roommates.
