Introducing Carnegie Mellon

          The atmosphere at Carnegie Mellon is one of the eclectic of any school.The name"Carnegie
Mellon"is often associated with computers and engineering others think of its as a school that specializes in art and drama.All of these people are right.And when you add outstanding programs in the sciences,the  humanities and business administration,you've got the basic academic view
of Carnegie Mellon.The students here are as different from each other and can get yet everyone still finds ways to interact.There are students here from half away around the world;there are students here from two miles away.There are students from all fifty states and over forty foreign countries.Some people are here building complex electronic devices,and some are making beautiful acts.The one thing that everyone does have in common is that they're committed to what they're doing
and they work hard.


           Carnegie Mellon,located about five miles from downtown Pittsburgh,is surrounded by three culturally active,residential neighborhood.Pittsburgh has come a long way since its industrial past.Today,they city a top twenty five arts destination,has  cultural activity and diversity,and there is no shortage of things to do and learn. This serves as the perfect setting for one of the fastest growing universities in the country.

If you get a chance to walk around campus between classes,you"ll probably see a fair number of students running to check e-mail at one of the many public computer labs around campus,or pulling out laptops to surf the net at WI-FI hubs in the  Sayles-Hill Student center or in the McKinley Gould library also known as the Libe. Many.Many students will be rushing to post comments for a class on Moodle,Carlton's course-management system.Through Moodle,classes can create on-line forums for further discussions or questions side of the classroom.All Carla also have access to a central server where they can success useful course materials,and more and more students can access most or all of their readings for certain classes on line.
       Carlton is both Mac-and PC 'friendly',although most classroom computers are Macs.Most students do down a computer and laptops are useful,especially when they want to escape from distracting roommates and retreat to the depths of the Libe to write a paper.There are,however plenty of computers around campus for student use,although finding an unused one can become quiet a challenge during  finals.If the computers decide to revolt right before are due,workers at the Student computing Information Center,or the  SCIC ,are there to help.
