There are plenty of opportunities in CMU SCS. Every year google/microsoft/facebook/apple… hire lots of undergrads for interns as well as full-time employees. CS department also offers tons of in house jobs in summer to undergrads as well as on campus job during the semester.

About happiness, CMU cs students carry a heavy workload especially during the semesters when they take some of the “infamous” CS classes such as 15251 or 15410 which pretty much sucks in all your time. But those classes make CMU SCS students stand out from others. Also, those classes that consume a lot of time often requires group work so you spend lots of time with your peers which is kinda fun.

I’m sure Brown will have more parties and stuff like that and I have to admit that lots of cs people in CMU probably go to party like once a year or less, but in CMU if you do want to do those stuff you can sure find places to do that and people to do that with (kids in drama mayby?).
