that despite loving CMU, they hated that they weren’t getting the quintessential college experience.



I think this is something that is somewhat true. You won’t get the typical college experience at CMU, and this is something you should know ahead of time. I was fine with it, and felt the social atmosphere of the school was perfect for me. I didn’t like large parties, getting hammered a few nights a week, or those sorts of things. I liked that most social activities were smaller, and tended to be grouped with friends instead of random people at a frat party (though that is available if you want). It probably seems weird to say that, in general, I had a lot of fun doing my homework, but when you’re expected to collaborate on assignments, working with 5-10 of your best friends all night turns out to be fun, no matter how brutal the workload is.
