As a current SCS student, I can attest to the friendly yet competitive atmosphere at CMU.

It certainly is NOT “cutthroat.” There is definitely competition but peers are friendly and often willing to work together in study groups which will be necessary for certain classes. I’ve taken 251 and I worked in a group of 4 people. We freely share thoughts and ideas and never once has there been any animosity where one student refuses to help another.
