About University:
CMU is good for those that are willing to aggressively take advantage of it, but cmu won't help you out much.

About University:
The general sentiment is that the food on campus is kind of disappointing. You know that when the cover photo of the official Facebook group for incoming freshman included a PSA to select the red/yellow meal plan.

You work harder than you thought was possible (at the moment going onto a third all-nighter writing a proxy lab), but you love it.

About University:
I love going to CMU! I have never worked harder in my life and am constantly stressed, but so is everyone. Everyone has a lot of work, but that makes people closer. Also, if you want a social life, you can definitely have one. There are parties every weekend you just have to find them.

About University:
You will be crushed by work harder than that guy on the hydraulic press channel but if you don't die under the pressure you're set for life.

About University:
A myth about CMU is that there is no social scene. There is definitely a social scene if you want the parties and the "typical college nightlife". A fact about CMU is that it is very, very difficult and everyone works a lot- from art majors to computer science majors, everyone has a lot on their plate.

About University:
CMU is definitely one of the best learning environments around. You learn a lot and everyone is very collaborative, unlike some cut-throat schools like Berkeley. I got into both but I chose CMU bc of the educational atmosphere. However, it will definitely get very stressful at many times, but if you power through that, you will have gained a LOT.
