CMU is not for everyone, it is TOP and it challenges you to the limit, specially on technical degrees (CS, Data Science, Data Analytics). The curriculum is extremely rigorous and demanding, it requires a non-stop working to succeed. I did my master degree there and received very good job offers after graduation. The downside is that CMU is so demanding that you don't have much time to explore the city and do extra activities.

CMU is a very academically rigorous school due to both the coursework and the culture. The coursework is very technical. The culture of the school is to push yourself to your limits, which helps students learn what type of workload they're capable of maintaining. When I was at CMU I double majored in business and statistics (a very popular option), and was working two jobs (one internship and one on campus job) in addition to balancing greek life, business competitions, and a girlfriend. In terms of work capacity, I determined that to be roughly my upper limit. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to learn that while in school. I've seen peers from other schools learn their work limits on the job which isn't always pretty. It can be stressful, but by graduation time most students from CMU can handle almost any type of work environment. It's a great school for developing grit.[/quote]
