[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS got into both CMU and Cornell for CS, and if it was only between those two, would have gone to CMU. He ended up choosing a different option altogether but was extremely impressed by the caliber of the faculty and other students at CMU CS. Cornell was more of a mixed bag. My son preferred a more well-rounded experience than both those schools could offer though.[/quote]

Thanks for the insight! Where did your DS choose instead, MIT or something?[/quote]

No he chose Duke. Having a great time there and is very impressed by his classmates, and still has time for fun. Was the right choice for him but for others CMU CS is hard to beat.[/quote]

Thanks - this is helpful.  My DD was wondering how the CS experience is at Duke as she’s investigating a lot of these same schools.  [/quote]
DD studies CS at Duke. It’s been easy thus far compared to her ex-classmates’ experience at CMU because they made her take classes where she already knows the material. She enjoys her well-balanced life so much that she tells us she is living in paradise. [/quote]
