Student Ratings
David McPherson Alumnus - Grad Year 1991
The workload is very high and the school never closes, even when it’s minus 20 degrees and snowing. In the Architecture Department, I had projects due on Sunday nights at 8pm which kept me working most weekends. Don’t go to Carnegie Mellon unless you want to work hard and be challenged. It was really tough but I loved every minute of it.
Cacy Duncan Former Student - Last Attended 2002
The classes were good at Carnegie Mellon University and when I wanted to switch to an interdisciplinary major, the faculty was very helpful. I especially enjoyed working on the costume crew and other theatre courses and really liked my humanities teachers, they were great a challenging me to think about the issues up for discussion.
