[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a nerdy, soulless place and really only good for a small fraction of people. Walk down Forbes Ave, immediately adjacent to Pitt & CMU dorms — you’ll 100% be able to spot which school the kid attends. [/quote]

Clearly you have zero clue

CMU has an extremely high retention rate. Fact [/quote]

The PP mentioned nothing about retention rate. 
Just that "It’s a nerdy, soulless place and really only good for a small fraction of people. " And compared to neighboring Pitt you can easily spot the CMU vs Pitt kids.  Which was very true when I attended CMU for graduate school.  These are largely ultra focused, highly driven, many without much social life outside of studying, because you simply don't have time for it if you are in STEM/CS/ENG.  Majority of kids I've known who have attended are not overly enthralled with their experience. Sure they may stay, Because it's an awesome education.  But it's a pressure cooker, no way around it[/quote]
