[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CMU is tops for computer science but pretty average for its other offerings, except with maybe the theater department which is pretty solid.[/quote]

Theater is more than solid, it’s outstanding. This CMU hate is so weird. I never hear anyone say “she went to ABC because she wants to study psych, sociology, political science”.   These degrees aren’t compared much at the undergraduate level. But getting that  degree from a school like CMU instead of CNU is better in all the same ways as getting a degree from UVA instead of Western Kentucky.  Name recognition, rigor, and selectivity to get in.

I think someone here thought it was a safety and didn’t get in. Now they’re bitter. [/quote]

Are you a CMU grad/parent? Sorry, didn’t mean to offend.[/quote]

Sorry, that wasn’t aimed at you.  I grew up in Pittsburgh and know several who’ve attended. Some family and friends but not me or my kids. It’s expensive now and there are cheaper ways to get a psych degree but the criticism on this thread is odd. [/quote]
