Despite what some people say, this school can have fun. There's plenty of activities and clubs to get involved with. There's an active and very fun Greek life. You can find your perfect niche anywhere.

One thing I looked for as I was doing my college visits was the elusive fit - does this school feel right for me? And I have to say that I feel that I can be so much myself here, there is such a diverse group of people that anyone can fit in. And while we do have a lot of work, there are also so many activities and clubs to be a part of that you will never not have something exciting to do and be a part of. Also, since Carnegie Mellon isn't too big of a school, it really does feel like a comfortable community once you start getting to know people.

I love that it has a small campus feel yet it is right next to Pittsburgh. When I'm not slaving away in studio, which isn't very often, my friends and I love to take the bus and enjoy what Pittsburgh has to offer. I only wish that CMU had better dorms, not that I spend much time sleeping.
