Yes, you’re right about the stress culture being the biggest issue. She is pretty sure ECE is not for her but CS is still a big consideration. Unfortunately, transferring to CS is not usually possible at CMU (especially with her grades) and the stress culture and workload will be even greater. This is one reason why she is considering transferring out. However, she is unsure if CS is the right path for her and will be taking other classes at CMU in the Spring. She will be definitely speaking to friends at other schools (especially in CS) to find out about the stress culture and workload. It is also possible she will love a different major and will choose to stay.
