[quote=Anonymous]As someone who went there for a while and left, I can say that CMU is probably the most miserable college in America.  If you're not going to join Greek Life or play on a varsity sports team, I would seriously recommend avoiding it at all costs.

Imagine a school where at least 50% of the students ate lunch by themselves in the corner during high school.  Add this to a curriculum (even in the "easy" majors) that is made needlessly hard and time-consuming, CONSTANT gray/rainy weather, no significant party or sports scene and insane tuition (despite the fact that the school is incessantly hounding alumni for donations).

College, and life in general, is not meant to be a miserable slog.  There are plenty of prestigious schools (Duke, Vanderbilt, UMich, USC) that offer top notch academics and a vibrant, fulfilling experience.  I have even noticed the complete lack of people skills among CMU grads in the workforce decades later - whether they were always that way or just failed to develop adult social skills after missing out on their late teens/early 20s is beyond me.

But to answer your question, yes, the majority of CMU students are unhappy at best.
