[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD suffered through 4 years. She did not enjoy college and was happy to graduate. With that said, she got a job and is excelling. Most of her friends felt similarly. It’s just a really hard school and the location isn’t great. She will not make the same mistake for grad school.[/quote]

Why do you say that about the location? My kid is considering Pitt, which is right next to CMU, and the location seems good to us - near several colleges, seems pretty vibrant. Thanks![/quote]

Most people agree, the location is great.  It's probably 2nd behind Boston for the best college city in the US.[/quote]

No it's not!  I was there in the 90s for grad school.  I agree it's improved, but they literally had nowhere to go but up (I was there when you would end up carjacked at 11am if you didn't lock your car door and/or had your windows rolled down so they could open the door).  The campus is dreary, the buildings are not exciting and most of the students just never seem happy.
