It is true that many people hang out mostly with those in their own major, but everyone I know who actively wants friends who aren’t in their major has them. I suggest taking foreign language classes to meet people in other majors (and girls, there are lots of girls in foreign language classes).



Yes, I was in CIT (ECE), but I took 6 semesters of German at CMU. Quite oddly, I was the only engineer in the class (there may be more these days though, as students are beginning to realize the importance of learning foreign languages). My classmates were mostly H&SS and CFA (especially music majors) . There were also a few MCS kids and one Tepper (back then, GSIA) guy (an international student like myself).
