<p>cmu is definitely academic oriented, but don’t think thats all we do guys. I came here with the impression that it would be hardcore studying 24/7 and the truth is, you’ll find people who are cramming at all hours for a test. most of us procrastinate, or actually do work when its assigned. As for the campus, it is beautiful, not amazing or overwhelming, just right. the dorms are perfectly sized, pretty big compared to some other schools. new house has some nice rooms. there not too small or anything, nothing at cmu is too small. our lounges are pretty big <em>i live in morewood E tower</em> and none of us complain about size. There’s always somewhere to study silently, and theres a work out room in morewood and new house, and the uc gym, and somewhere on margaret morrison ave i believe, by tepper. theres no lack of something to do on campus, or somewhere to eat, it just a matter of you’re tastes and preferences. warning: no home cooked meals here unless you cook them yourself! :)</p>
