@HSquared2 Hello and thanks so much for doing this! I’ve got two primary questions.

First, the prevailing narrative about CMU students is that they’re overworked and drained by the sheer academic pressure and rigor of the school. Do you feel as though that stereotype is true? Even if it isn’t completely true, what aspects of it have manifested in your path and the path of your peers? I want my college experience to be mentally freeing enough to be both fun and allow time for reflection/introspection.

Second, do you think that the school is conducive to double majoring? I’d like to double major in Politics and Statistics, both of which are at Dietrich. Is that a feasible and manageable path? How have you fared with your majors?
