<p>Your friend obviously isn’t looking hard enough. There are hundreds of clubs that meet every week, twice a week and even every day. Partying is available every weekend if you want to go out. CMU is surrounded by the waterfront, squirrel hill, oakland and many other small towns that offer their own unique things.</p>
<p>I think you’re friend might think that things are supposed to come to her - and that isn’t the case at CMU (or any other university I’m aware of). </p>
<p>I leave at 10 AM and don’t come back till 930 or 10 to start work because I have so many activities going on - from research (yes, research as a freshman) to building a buggy for the carnival.</p>
