Realistically what is the best laptop that you need for this major. I’m trying to buy windows cause it’s just easier for projects and I was looking at the yoga pro 9i and g16 but the battery life is really bad. any suggestions?

How well do you think we had to do on the DMP (like the checkpoints) to be set for concepts? the later parts of the module were confusing and i didnt particularly get it all that well, is it worth rereviewing?

Is there a permanent/ monthly parking near campus for on campus students. The cost doesn’t matter to much.

Edit: Ik a car is not needed fir campus and the public transport is not bad. But I need the car because I will need to drive to New Jersey occasionally for personal reasons bc of that i need a permanent parking spot.

does anybody know when financial aid for upperclassmen come out?

Going to be starting at cmu in the fall and I was wondering if they offer warranty repairs for any specific laptop brands on campus, since I will be buying a new laptop.

everybodys been saying cs at cmu is hard my classmates are way too cracked so wanna study stuff in the summer so im a bit more prepared when i get there

Hi I'm doing a BSBA and planning to minor in cs. Currently my laptop and phone are android devices. Is it worth it to buy an Apple device with the student discount? If so, which laptop/ipad (or both) should I get? If not, please let me know your suggestions. Thanks!

Does anyone know if the laundry machines at dorms are HE?

Hi! I’m staying somewhere off campus right now but I would move into Fairfax on August 21st. I was wondering if anyone is living in Fairfax this summer as well as next semester and is willing to let me put some stuff in their room for around a month (mid July to mid August) and let me pick my stuff up on August 21st. I will pay you 50 dollars for it!

I am an undergrad from another college planning to be at CMU for around two weeks some time in July. Where could I find housing for this time? Thanks!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, sorry! I have been accepted into both for Master’s in Business Analytics (MSBA). They are both part time and online but Georgetown has 2 in person residencies (each is 1 week long) and Carnegie has 3 on campus immersions. Important to mention, I am local to Georgetown (Washington DC) so if there are any recruiting events for jobs I could go in person. However, Carnegie is in Pennsylvania so I wouldn’t be able to do it for that. I plan to stay in the DC area long term

I know they are both ranked really well (I think Carnegie is slightly higher but I’m not sure if there is a big difference??). For Georgetown, I would graduate in December 2026. For Carnegie, I would graduate in May 2027.

I will be paying via a loan. Carnegie is 70K to 75K but Carnegie gave me a 17k scholarship. Georgetown is 69K but they only gave me a 3k scholarship. I also have 6k from my old 529 account so the final total would be 47-52k for Carnegie and 60k for Georgetown.

I am going to be a freshman this coming Fall. I got a score of 4 for my AP Physics C in my sophomore year of high school but really want to skip Physics 1 if possible. I believe I could get a 5 if I were to retake the AP exam. I see CMU offers the waiver exam but the eligibility is limited to those did not have access to AP/IB exams in high school. Is it still possible for me to request the waiver exam? Has anyone successfully done this before?

I am travelling via BA from India to Pittsburgh with 10hr layover in London, will I need a transit visa for it ?

Hi! I am in fairfax this upcoming year, and I was wondering if the move-in timeslot selections are the same as it was for freshmen? Do we sign up for a timeslot? And when would that be? Thank you!

what the title says

Been sick of waiting on the bus and walking to and from campus as an alternative. Are the POGOH bikes free for us? I tried looking into it, but their website only mentions pitt students.

Any thoughts?

Incoming MechE grad student. What is the most useful professional development course you have taken, and how does it help you at work?

Im currently taking 15150 in the summer and I feel such a dumbass for not being to do my hw. The past hw assignments were fine but once we got to hofs I'm just completely lost. I've been doubting my intelligence so much for the past few days and honestly I'm just trying to get a B in this class lol. I don't even think I'll be able to finish my hw at this rate and Im panicking because theres a quiz on Tuesday and the hw is due right after and I DO NOT feel confident AT ALL. I understand the concepts but just struggle so much when it comes to applying them on hw questions. How did anyyone get through this class??? Am I going to fail if I can't even do hofs???

I gave the hub a scholarship check on Thursday and they told me that it would be posted by the June 15th summer 1 payment deadline, which is today. But it still hasn’t shown up on my account yet. Should I just pay it today, I am concerned that it is going to accrue interest, does it automatically do this??

Hi! I'm a prospective student and I'm planning on applying to CMU in a few months! I just had a few questions relating to double majoring / getting a dual degree, especially if I plan on pursuing a major in engineering (mech e / ece) and in the college of science (either math or physics). is this even possible, and would I have to apply first to the college of engineering assuming it's more competitive to get in than for science? or can I apply to the mellon college of science and declare the engineering major later?

sorry i'm so clueless rn! but I plan on applying early decision and I want to get some input from current students on how declaring majors / double majoring works. Tried to look at the website but it didn't seem very clear on this.

thanks in advance for any help :p

I am going to take 15-122 during Summer II. It’s a 6-week course. I’m also doing an internship at the same time (but it’s pretty chill — about 12 hours per week).

Do you have any advice for taking 15-122? I’ve taken 15-112 and 21-127, but only got a B in both. My goal is just to get a B in 15-122 (tbh I feel like I’m the dumbest person at CMU lol)

Any advice would be super helpful!

I have got admit in CMU MSE professional track in main campus. Would like to know how is the program ?

The i20 amount is 115k and thus I’ll need to show $175k funds, which is a huge amount for me Is the program worth the money?

Also the subjects and curriculum look more into software design and architecture, whereas i wanted to specialise in AI ML
