Introduction from the Author

When people ask me where I m going to college, I ll sheepishly reply, Carnegie Mellon University. It s with a look of sheer stupefaction that they nod approvingly, having never heard of the school and thinking me a fool for receiving my college education from a grocer. On the other hand, the people I talk to who are aware of the University s incredible accomplishments respond differently. Their faces light up and they energetically reply, Really? Wow, you must be smart! The way things are going, I might be hearing this reply much more often.

Carnegie Mellon University is growing and improving so rapidly that its name recognition hasn t caught up with it yet. It s only in the last twenty years that the University has begun its ascent into the upper echelon of the nation s colleges, a place where it is sure to stay for some time. If one thing is happening on campus, it s growth. As the University expands its size and academic options, the school s students continue to grow with it. Carnegie Mellon is intent on molding its students into professionals, and it succeeds.

Honestly, I d never even heard of Carnegie Mellon until it was time for my college search. It s hard to paint an accurate portrait of the school with just facts and statistics. CMU has a unique cultural dynamic that defines the University in the eyes of its students. When you have a professional University, composed of five nationally-commended colleges in fields ranging from computer science to the fine arts, you re guaranteed a certain level of intellectualism. When you have students from around the world participating in a campus environment where diversity is embraced and treasured, all wrapped in the hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, you re guaranteed a certain level of perspective. Some students would even say that when you have a Carnegie Mellon degree, you re guaranteed a certain level of salary.

If you re interested in CMU, you probably already know all that it can offer you in terms of academics and professionalism. Now be prepared to ask yourself a larger question. Do you want to spend the next four years of your life there? No matter how much information you know about a college, that s not an easy question to answer. Hopefully, this book can provide you with some insight into what life is really like at Carnegie Mellon University.
