I made a post here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/898389-ucb-cmu.html about CMU v UCB for engineering, which are the two schools that I narrowed my choices down to.

My major concern is the atmosphere of the university. I have no idea what it is like at CMU, while I know it is extremely competitive at Berkeley. I went to a small private high school where it was a more friendly unspoken competition where everybody still helped everybody and grades were not so much of a concern. I was curious if this is sort of the case at CMU.

Thanks.
