Computer Engineering[/quote]

Computer Engineering is a HARD major!!! Can he change to something easier? I doubt it will be easy anywhere.[/quote]

yes, it can and likely will be significantly easier at many other schools.  CMU is most known for their CS/CompEng---they are up there with MIT.  Most in that program have 1570+ and 4.0+ gpa with 10+ AP credits.  They are a group of driven, studious, focused students.  It's a pressure cooker school in CS/Engineering---way beyond what even other Elite universities are.  The school is not known for being social and that group/majors certainly is NOT (typically).  The OP kid is very smart, he will succeed almost anywhere else, but his mental health matters and he needs to be happy for the 4 years.

Just because a school attracts kids with high SATs does not mean their actual classes are harder than the same class a different school. If you can't comprehend Calc III at one shcool you will not magically "get it" at another school.[/quote]
