CMU... eh...

Rating: 3/5 (96 ratings)
Introduction
If you are the type of student that has motivation to go to every class, work every night in the library, enjoy masochistic work then this is the place for you... Those who shouldn't come here: Students who don't want to tackle 2 majors at once.

Campus Life and Social Life
There are a few cool extracurricular groups. There are definitely enough groups to find something you are interested in. If you are interested in being social, you must join the Greek Community.

Academics
Every single academic department is great. The professors are extremely liberal as is most of the campus. The workload is overwhelming most of the time. It's a bitch to get through but the pay off is amazing. There is an extremely high job offer rate as well as an extremely high graduate school acceptance rate.

Student Body
The typical student is usually male... 37% girls is not a lot coming from a male standpoint. A lot of students are of Asian descent. Northeasterners are prevalent on campus - NY, PA, & MA.

In Closing...
Watch out what you go for... If you enjoy the work come; if you do not need the social life come here; if you want to become involved with everything come here; if you want a well paying job when you leave college COME HERE.
