Carnegie Mellon University

People at this school ARE different. Given that I belive that that makes this school that much better. The more different personalities there are the better the experience at a school is. Yes you are going to have weekends here where there is nothing to do, but there are other weekends where there is a to of stuff to do. It's all how you look at things, I see CMU as a good place to get a good education and a good place to make friends and have fun, so it is for me. Others see it as a place of intense work, people who only worry about their own major and work, and no fun. So it is that way for them. I would recommend this school to anyone who is open minded, granted you will get frustrated with some people here who aren't, if you are open minded you won't mind then will you?

Education Quality: A+, Campus Maintenance: C-

This is by far one of the best Universities in the world. I would never change anything about my four years at CMU. Some may complain about its social life, yet it really is what you make of it. I had a blast & got a great paying job right away. It's worth every penny!
