You can breeze through CMU fairly quickly 3 hours. It is a technical university and it shows its functionality.You see one classroom, the next will be the same. It looks like a landgrant school, with too many buildings devoted to research. I was much more impressed with the Cathedral of Learning, the Chapel of the U of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Museums, Mansions of Pittsburgh, Schenley Park (conservatory, gardens, golf course) next to CMU. The immediate surrounds of CMU will take several days to take in. The Mellon Institute is by itself, a very impressive piece of masonery. The Fine Arts building is very very impressive. The old gym is probably the closest building that looks like a Eastern US college building.
