“DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF JOINING CMU'SCivil Engineering
DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF JOINING CMU'S CEE GRAD PROGRAM. Beneath their flashy new website is a department grappling with student dissatisfaction.I had a horrid time here. Tried taking good classes, but their offerings were just not good. Classes were super high-level with no in-depth focus. Tuition is sky-high, and the program does not justify this. Department is filled with sucky, immature international kids who only boast of their drinking escapades.No real focus or motivation to succeed here. Look up a list of alums and you'll find only failures.

“It is a college where, unless maybe you'reQuite BrightUndecided
It is a college where, unless maybe you're in Tepper, you are going to be working day and night. 3-4 hours of sleep a day is often very common for weeks at a time. Be sure you are ready to constantly challenge yourself. If you are tired there will be a party happening almost every weekend, mostly in frats but you won't really want to go every weekend. it is not a party school but honestly all this hardwork is totally worth it. the faculty and your friends will inspire you support you and push you to be your best and as an alum put it. This will be "The best time of my life I never wanna relive"
