You definitely get a great education at CMU. The professors are masters in their fields of study, but they still care a lot about the students. For example, my physics professor told us he wouldn't be in class the next day because he would be in Washington, DC helping solve the oil spill crisis in the Gulf. However, he always has office hours and encourages the students to take advantage of all the academic services offered.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love it here at Carnegie Mellon. It is an awesome environment for many reasons. Most top-notch schools are specialized in only science and technology or only arts, but CMU has it all and because of that, you are surrounded by students who are passionate and smart in all kinds of fields, which often leads to interesting encounters between majors. Also, you get free bus transportation and free admission to local museums and other things to do, so there is always something fun to do in the great city of Pittsburgh!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is true that Carnegie Mellon doesn't have the most amazing financial aid services, but the education that you are receiving here is definitely worth it. Also, you would definitely enjoy being a part of the great history and fun family that is CMU.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to show the quirky, fun side of yourself too when you're applying. Carnegie Mellon is full of wacky people and the admissions office likes to see that in the prospective students.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you're passionate about what you do so much that you consider yourself a nerd in your major, come here, you will be in good company!
