Describe your classmates in one sentence.My classmates are open, helpful, and very fun to work with!If you could change something about your school, what would you change?I would want a livelier campus. There are several big events that go on from time to time, which are wonderful to attend. However, it would be nicer if the campus was more lively more often.

Describe your school in one sentence.A nerdy pressure-cooker where you’ll laugh, cry an uncomfortable amount, and learn a whole lot.What kind of person should attend this school?Someone who is ready to work really hard and at least has some idea of what they want to do in life. Self-motivation is really important for CMU, so is being a little bit nerdy.

What kind of person shouldn’t attend this school?The type of person that should attend Carnegie Mellon University is somebody who knows what they love and isn’t afraid to work hard for it. I am saying this not because I don’t believe in searching in colllege, but for other reasons. Each department at CMU is very proud of what they do and excited to teach. Your passion can be fine arts, engineering, computer science, or global studies. If you know what area you love you will find Carnegie Mellon to be very supportive and eye opening.What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?If I was to brag about Carnegie Mellon it would be about the hardworking atmosphere. I would also proudly mention that the school is innovative and often supports interdisciplinary projects. Also while all members of the school are strong techniqually in their fields, there is a definitie emphasis on concept and orginal ideas.
