Fun and guys at CIT

I’m sure these questions have been asked before in the CMU forum, but just rebooting the discussion for any current CMU CIT students.

1. Realistically, how is the work/fun balance for CIT students? While I'm going to college for an excellent education and plan on studying hard, I definitely want to have time to hang out with new people, join clubs/activities, just relax a little bit, etc. I'm considering majoring in ChemE with a CS minor. Will I have time for fun or is it true what some people say about being completely overwhelmed with very difficult work all the time?

2. Again, this has probably been asked and is a bit shallow, but are the stereotypes about super-nerdy, not-so-attractive guys in CIT true? I've heard from various people that while the performing arts students tend to be attractive, people in CIT in general are not so much. So what are the guys like? Is there more a focus on serious/semi-serious relationships or on hookups/casual dating?

Thanks!
