Student review [#57735] for Applied Arts and Science
at Carnegie Mellon University

I’ve been genuinely impressed with the fusion of creativity and innovation at CMU. The professors are a mixed bag– some are great and life-changing, but I had a couple (mostly gen eds in freshman year) that were really frustrating. The workload can be intense, and it’s no joke. Campus was very lively; clubs, events, etc. – there’s something for everyone. Pittsburgh in general has some areas that are great, and others that disappoint– Oakland is a very nice university town area. Overall, CMU is a hotbed of innovation and learning, but the pace and location do come into play.
