I've been very happy with CMU so far. The engineering department challenges its students, but the work load is bearable if managed right. It's fairly easy to get involved with research in chemE. Also, job placement is excellent, as companies recognize that a degree from CMU means you know your stuff.

As a whole, the university has a lot of resources for its students. The career center is amazing, and we have an on campus medical center and counseling and psychological services. For academics, there's a lot of resources if you're struggling, including peer tutoring, study groups and supplemental instruction.

Most CMUers are slightly nerdy. It is just as common to see people playing video games on a Friday night as partying. But the average person will hang out with friends, often catching a movie in the UC, going to the game room or watching a play put on by the theater department. Student organizations are plentiful, and are easy to join.

The dining is fairly good, thanks to a new food company that they hired this year. Housing is decent.

CMU is a great school for those that are motivated and intelligent and like a more nerdy atmosphere.
