Sure, CMU might have an “elite” status, but remember, you are paying alot of money and you should go where you will be the happiest.

CMU and PSU are extremely different environment, so figure out which you’d enjoy more.

I live in PGH, and I can tell you that the school spirit/college atmosphere/experience at CMU is very low.

If you are social, enjoy going out, making friends, parties, sports, ect. - go with PSU.

Plus, PSU is a GREAT SCHOOL! If you plan on living in PA after graduation you can’t go wrong with it.

One of the major benefits about going to a school like PSU is that you can not only be a student, but a FAN, and that will last the rest of your life.
