Carnegie Mellon University Reviews
Rating 4.64 out of 5 28 reviews
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!

The Masters in Professional Writing program is a fantastic option for anyone looking to get into the field, or even to improve on their writing and document design skills for their current field. The courses offered have a focus on practical application, with a variety of documents you can include in your portfolio!
CMU has exceptional resources and the costume department in the School of Drama is much better organized than other departments, which I can not really speak for. The rigor and time commitment required for classes, especially hands on practical project based classes are demanding but acchievable with the right discipline. The main con that I have a very hard time getting over is that there is hardly any time or opportunities to earn money for living. The expected "graduate hours" contibutes to a scholarship amount that covers 2/3 of the cost of attendance.
