<p>Hey, im a rising senior
and im having a realll hard time deciding my early decision.
Im thinking about Carnegie right now
but im wondering if its really worth it</p>
<p>Hows ur life,girls,academics,food,ETC and all that crap at carnegie?
thanks</p>
<p>please answer only if u are attending or have attended Carnegie</p>
<p>I’m a new freshman, and so far everything seems top-notch. The girls aren’t anywhere near as bad as people say they are, the food system has been completely redone to the point where I really enjoy the food, and CMU’s academics are obviously of high quality (otherwise they’re torturing us for nothing).</p>
<p>im assuming ur getting tons of works to do? how much of a free time do u have?</p>
<p>oh and what about the environment? ive never visited carnegie cus its so far away. is there alot of places to hang out? thx</p>
<p>honestly, the worst thing about Carnegie Mel is the price-tag.</p>
<p>And if you ED, they’re much more lenient with financial aid.</p>
<p>So I say…so for it? I would’ve gone, if it wasn’t for the price :/</p>
<p>CMU is in the middle of Pittsburgh. It really is a college town, across the street from University of Pittsburgh. The town really caters to college students. Lots of cheap places to eat and hang out and such.</p>
<p>p.s. I know I don’t go to CMU but I had to reply anyway lol. it’s a REALLY good school! visit first tho? if possible.</p>
<p>I see i guess the environment is great but my concern is about the workload. 
i dont mind working my ass off cus ive always been a hard worker but i really do care about life outside academics.</p>

<p>As a new freshman, I can honestly say I had my doubts when applying - but I’ve been really happy here so far. Everyone’s exceedingly smart and friendly, it’s right on Forbes avenue, all things in Pittsburgh are just a ten minute bus ride away, and the food is great since it was upgraded to a new vendor this year. All the professors are highly committed in my experience-- I haven’t had a single class taught by a TA yet or heard of anyone who has. And even though I’m a freshman, all but two of my classes are very small, 25 students or less. It’s really easy to make friends. :)</p>
