Carnegie Mellon University Reviews
Rating 4.71 out of 5 34 reviews
I just started my study at Tepper (Business school), Carnegie Mellon. It's part time on-line program but the academics is as rigorous as the full time. The school hosts 'Access Weekends' at the start of every mini-semesters providing hotels, foods and transportation from hotel to school. I've met many professionals from other industries and it was a great experience and this can be a great opportunity for your networking!
CMU is an excellent option for students seeking a challenging yet supportive higher education experience.
The university offers a plethora of resources to support independent research and creative projects. This allows students to pursue their intellectual interests beyond the classroom setting. The institution also provides ample opportunities for multidisciplinary work with other majors, although students may have to find these connections themselves.
The faculty’s support for their students is also noteworthy. However, the program’s demanding nature requires a significant time commitment from students: It may be challenging for students to balance academic responsibilities with extracurricular activities or work.
As for Pittsburgh, the city has good public transportation and economic housing options.

CMU is an INTENSE school with brilliant professors and students. If you graduate from CMU, especially with a STEM degree, you're basically guaranteed a great job. But be warned: If you're not EXCELLENT at managing both your time and your stress levels, you'll be overwhelmed 99 percent of the time. Working yourself to death is a cultural value of the school (for both professors AND students). They pay lip service to mental health and "work-life balance," but don't be fooled: there is NO work-life balance at CMU. As a consequence, their on-campus psychological services office is often overwhelmed. If your insurance will cover it, I recommend getting a therapist off-campus. And you WILL need a therapist.
That said, the intensity of the programs often creates close bonds between CMU students. If you're the kind of person who craves the company of intelligent, like-minded people, you will likely make lifelong friends at CMU. It's also a GREAT place for building your professional network!
