Undecided Major

Hi all,

I’m a high school senior looking at schools. Carnegie Mellon looks like a really cool place, and Pittsburgh a cool city. The only reservation about CMU is that there are different colleges. I’m completely undecided on what I want to do. Engineering, social/natural science, humanities; all interesting to me. I’m hoping that once I get to college I’ll “click” with one department and that’ll make my choice. That’s what happened with both my parents. I’m worried though that having to go to one college straight off will limit my choices. How does one take classes at another college at CMU? What if I want to change majors across colleges? I’ve seen other threads asking about splits between differently majored students… I’m looking mostly at liberal arts colleges because of my indecision, but I thought I would ask about CMU because it seems like a great school.
