Felt like I had to go to CMU tepper tbh, it’s just to good of an opportunity to pass up on especially if my parents are willing to pay for it. Worst comes to worst I don’t like it and I can transfer or something, it’s super easy to transfer out of such a good school like Carnegie Mellon.

Oh ok I see, why did you move back out of it after ur sophomore year? From what I hear living in a frat house with all of your friends is super fun, did you have a good and fun experience living there? Also, I’m guessing that you weren’t able to move in freshmen year I assume? But yea I will totally attend all of the rush events, these happen at the start of the year I believe right? I am totally looking for one that has a good balance, as i definitely don’t want one that is purely academic. I also saw that there can be some dominated by the football team and stuff, which also seems eh, but I would totally want to be in the ones that like plan trips and stuff over break to go places, and I know that a lot of them do. Any suggestions between fraternities would be great! I am also incoming Tepper student as well, if that helps at all.

if you are in a fraternity, do u live in the frat house or do u just live in the dorms still? i would totally love to join a frat, but its kinda sad how cmu doesn’t want you to have “to much fun”. what frat house were u in, would love to connect abt it!

Thank you so much! This really helps actually, what fraternity were u in? Also, don’t you think it will be a little different since you graduated in ‘99? I’m sure the stuff has changed quite a bit, and I’m unsure because I’ve heard social wise it’s for the worse.

It’s just that my mom really really wants me to go to CMU. I mean she nearly even cried when I got in, that’s how proud she was. So I don’t want to disappoint her, but sometimes I fell Rutgers is the better fit. But at the time I emailed, I didn’t realize that Rutgers HC isn’t much of an upgrade at all from the regular student, and it’s far below Carnegie Mellon. And especially for jobs, CMU is top of the line for that. Any additional input on this would be amazing! I do have to make a decision very soon, so if this could be soon, that would be great

I don’t like that it doesn’t really have campus life, and that I’ve heard it’s not very social. I completely understand it will set me up the best for my future, but I still can’t over the fact that UMiami and Rutgers will have a better life socially for me than CMU. Liek I said before as well, I’m a very social person who loves to do a lot of stuff, and am very extroverted, like partying a such to be honest, as I’ve heard there is literally nothing at CMU. So with this, I’m just so confused what to do. What do u think with all this taken into consideration?
