A prestigious university that's strong in all departments, such as business, engineering, computer science, and the arts. Located in an up-and coming city, CMU is lively and entertaining for a college student looking for a small town feel. Academics are rigorous but extremely rewarding.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to give it shot. If someone tells you it's too difficult, give it a go, and only you can decide for yourself whether you can do it or not. Challenges are created by you, not others.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Definitely a academically rigorous school, but is not highly competitive among the students. The community is extremely supportive and students are willing to go out of their way to help one another.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life varies across the campus. All dorms have their advantages and disadvantages, but overall, they are what you expect. Most students become really close to their hallmates.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Dining on campus is average. There is no central dining hall, just individual restaurants scattered throughout the campus. There is a pretty good variety in terms of cuisine. Outside of campus, there are more places to eat.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a giant mall about 45 minutes away from campus. Museums and the conservatory are free to CMU students. Also, transportation is free, so nowhere is off limits.
