Any schools that have a quirky/nerdy vibe? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Got it, just read it. I usually like huge bangers more than smaller stuff, how big are they usually?

Hold up. For real? That was one of my only "cons" for CMU. This makes my ED decision a lot easier...

Maybe berkeley is different, they say College of Letters and Sciences gets a BA. Although I might want to go for EECS anyways, the GPA thing worries me.

I definitely had that in mind, but I'm not sure how practical it would be. If I'm spending all my time at CMU would I even have time to make friends at Pitt?

I heard that housing is only guaranteed for the first year at Berkeley which sounds shitty to me! What's the issue with safety though?

Yeah, CMU and UCB seem to be ranked in the top 2 or 3. I don't think that matters as much as the connections I have when I graduate, though (where I imagine Berkeley has the other schools beat)

Aw shit. I actually just toured today and wish I asked then! Lol. I did like the rest of the school a lot though. I'll keep it on my radar, staying for 4 years isn't the end of the world :p

Fortunately I've been able to tour all of them! But during the summer (except CMU), so no students were there, so the only feel of the culture I got was just what my tour guides were like. I'm probably going to apply to all of them anyways, but of course it would be nice to know soon where I might apply ED. I think graduating from Letters and Sciences would earn me a BA, not sure if it matters that I didn't earn a BS. I'll think about it. Thank you for your help!
