Thanks! This is extremely useful for someone who is so passionate about cs and desperately dreams of going to cmu.

Thanks for introduce student‘s one day life in CMU

[lancemiller]

Saw a few folks I know in your video! Also found it cool that we live in the same apartment building off-campus which is absolutely full of CMU upperclassmen.

[ghostek]

the intro is me, except each attempt is in 30 minutes intervals between 9am-12pm

[nushrahyanida]

Do a how you got into CMU video, please!

[koreanature]

[michael]

[Izzy.yahhhh]

Bro I know I'm only in 6th grade but I've been to CMU with my dad for take your kid to work day, and I already know this is one of the colleges I want to get into if not the only one😊 I want to major in robotics.

[JeremyGallardo-xfxb]

Literally me, I need about 3 alarms to get up

[theStarker]

This was really cool! I"m an incoming graduate student for the LCS program and won't have a chance to walk around campus for months! Do you have any plans to cover the rest of the campus that isn't CS or psych related?

[laural]

Nice! How do oyu feel about the psychopathology course? Thinking of taking it soon :)

[WilmingtonLandlord]

Learned a lot. Thanks. By the way, are you in 4th year, senior, or 2nd year? The courses you are taking now seem like 2nd year courses, 210 and 213. Please advise.

Hey guys, i am 18 years old and im in highschool learning html/css and learning c# with a little java. Im also going "computer and network technology" class like servers, ip, LAN, WAN, Switch and MAC adress and more. But im not sure what path to pursue, either i go programing, web development or (computer and network technology) i like them all the same but not sure what pay, how hard they each are to persue, what is easier aka takes less work and more. English is not my first langue so sorry if its bad 🙂

CMU computer science was my dream school, I visited CMU and loved it so much, and with 17% acceptance rate I thought I had a chance

Then I looked at the fact that the school of computer science has a 3% acceptance rate and is legit as selective as Harvard lol

[Beybladebattles]

The intro turning into "HER" is so cool

[destroyer-frdz]

So you’ve walked past my dorm Fifth and Clyde like 150 times lol

[vm]

i WOLD TO LIKE TO BE A GREAT SOFTWARE ENGENIER BUT I AM DEAD

[daluliu]

Great video overall, but a day at CMU is incomplete without some despairing debugging

Hi, I got into carnegie mellon as a transfer for sophomore year and I have mixed feelings I'm scared the classes will be overwhelmingly difficult, and I'm having a bad case of imposter syndrome!

Should people in the top 5 schools give advice when they can get interviews while doing a lot less crap on their resume/linkedIn, seems out of touch
