Well, CMU is actually more flexible than you think about choosing random courses (anything from CS to business, engineering, etc). I would even say CMU is MORE flexible than NYU since you can pick Tepper courses, Engineering courses, CS courses, minicourses from any school, Arch courses, Econ courses, etc. You can do this all without worrying about which college they are in.

Now I know the CMU name and career center will probably get you farther but it seems you really like NYC. Granted Pittsburgh is no NYC but it is not a bad city at all (just 5 min downtown).

I don’t know what you mean by “segregation” because I definitely feel no segregationi between schools here as I am double majoring and have taken courses in a wide variety of schools. The only segregated school is those INSANE ppl in Drama/Musical Theatre, etc.

See how they even have their own board? shudders

Anyways, I think it comes down to name+strength of many departments vs location and it is definitely your choice to make.

Good luck wherever you go!
