• Campus is great, with almost always something happening. Mostly undergrads are more into clubs and events so if you join the right clubs, you can attend something almost daily. But Fridays are mostly for talks and club events.
• The facilities available are plenty—there are at least 3-4 libraries, 1 swimming pool, 1 tennis court, 2 gyms, and a recreation building with a basketball court. and almost all extracurriculars you can think of.
• CMU has their carnival each summer which is very cool and the entire campus becomes like a literal carnival with rides and giant wheel and other fun activities

• Accommodation is pretty easy to find if you find people from your cohort; there are small apartment buildings, or if you want to opt for cheaper accommodation, you can rent houses and share among your roommates. Houses are typically owned by older people living in the neighborhood, so that is a cheaper and safer alternative. Whatsapp Groups/ Facebook groups are the best alternatives to find roommates and then online websites for finding rental houses.

Facilities are extremely average since it's a small campus. The campus life was decent, not that much opportunity for extracurricular.

Average monthly expenditure for rent(not shared), utilities, travel grocery etc would be $1000/month.

Campus life is full of energy, diversity and exciting Activities. I found many fellow countrymen on the campus registered in different programs. The infrastructure is great, the library is very big and contains all kinds of books and ebooks of every genre, sports facilities include outdoor fields, courts, swimming pool, fitness centres and Gymnasium facility. Events at CMU include spring carnival, Buggy races, homecoming, Films and arts festivals and so on. Societies in CMU are entrepreneurship and business society, recreational and hobby society, technology society, Cultural society and so on.

I managed to stay off-campus in a shared apartment with my roommates. Our apartment was 4BHK and a total of 4 members stayed in it. Shortlisting criteria include Cost of living, safety, distance to campus and other necessary amenities like laundry, and parking. Total monthly expenses of food, accommodation, and other expenses were around 2200$.

There is always something going on the campus. One could go to any building and see an event going on or some conference or a guest lecture, often time there are some fun activities going on too - the best part is there is no restriction on attending. It's an open campus so you can meet locals and get to know about the city as well. Hunt Library was one of my favourite spots. Their music collection is good too.

There is an option to live on campus however the off campus option for accommodation are more affordable. Studio and one bed apartments are a bit costly so the students usually prefer sharing apartments. Until last year, the average rent was $500-$600 which has hiked upto $700-$800 this year.

The campus life is mostly heavily academic. There are a lot of research seminar talks and such activities throughout the campus. Graduate students do not really have time for clubs and other such activities. Departments try to keep students engaged by having fun events such as outings to go to play golf or amusement parks.

There is no housing for graduate students. Therefore you need to look for it around the campus.

Campus is amazing. There’s always one or another event happening around the campus. There are a lot of clubs to consider. Library, wifi everything is good.

For the graduate program, on campus housing isn’t available. So I live in an apartment 20 mins away from college. Local buses are free for CMU students.

There's a lot of resources and activities happening all year around. WiFi enabled, all kinds of sports, 5 libraries etc.

You need to find housing off campus as a Master's student and the avg. rent ranges between $500-1000.

Free high speed fiber wifi available all over campus with 3 libraries with quiet study rooms, amazing sport facilities with all aerobic sports coverage.

Campus housing for undergrad. For master's and phd, off campus housing resources are available and many places are available to sublet or rent for about 600-900$ month.

CMU has a lot of resources, lots of funding. I think they are building a robotic centre now. There is a Hunt Library which is the biggest library in CMU. There are couples more. I am still in the exploring phase with regards to the libraries. They are open 24*7. They have all the resources. They have also got this crowd funding program. Like if you got an idea and you want to work on it, CMU provides crowd funding for that. With regards to entrepreneurship, they have this really amazing club called Graduate Entrepreneurship Club (GEC) and they got a lot of money. Since, CMU is a tech university. They do have a lot of fests and traditions which are in inclined with technology.

The university arranges the accommodation for international students. But, we need to apply early to get a good accommodation. Searching for a home here is very difficult.
