The reviews for this school are really mixed. Yes, this school is challenging and most of your time will be spent studying and doing work. I, however, feel like I'm at a place where I will be challenged and I'm learning material that is interesting and important. The professors care a lot about you, as an individual and really take into account each student's needs. For the first year, the DCR courses and stuff are a bit of a pain as you are not taking classes you really enjoy or are related to your major but they do help one get a more rounded education. Also, the school really supports doing double majors and minors so you're allowed to dabble in all fields rather than being restricted to your major solely. The social life is a little lacking but everyone here is very nice and welcoming and friendly and once you find your group of friends and your niche, this doesn't matter as much. All in all, i'm glad I came to CMU.
