What is the experience of studying at Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Mellon University)? --lina_ Overseas Famous School

I think I am very suitable to answer this question, because I am a typical type of CMU, we come here before, have a variety of background, came here, we made a very important change, learn CS. CMU is a national CS place, if you are in other schools, you will see EE people ask to turn CS difficult, in CMU, even learn English people have transferred CS, so this problem never exist. CMU provides this atmosphere, that is, no matter how you used to come here, as long as you are determined, you will. The magic of CMU is that it has the ability to cultivate you as the kind of person you never imagined. Too many Me,civil Eng,bio people here successfully transformation, after a year of training to Google and other companies to offer, I believe that can do this school is not much. I used to be half a literary youth, the campus log update frequency is very high. To CMU 1.5 time to write things to chat about little, time is a reason, thinking should be another. This is the last year after a year of CMU life after I wrote the summary, should be able to see a little bit of the shadow of life.

1. Today I went to see the professor who did TA last semester and talked with him for one hours. He asked me how to spend the winter vacation, I said to sit cruise. Number 14th finished the last door took a 6-hour test, ate hotpot, drank wine. Number 16th and ZZ and I set foot on the flight to Fort Lauderdale. In 2 airplanes, 3 airports. ZZ Students have written his last lecture. We boarded the ship while there was a net. After 7 days in the boat without a net but to eat have to eat to drink there is a beautiful beach wearing a bikini beauty day, forget the hardships of a year, full of blood resurrection. The travels haven't been written yet. For the new year before writing. In those seven days, I read the three novels of Jin Yong, the lack of literary knowledge, I am funny. Remember the first time to see "sea pianist", once puzzled why he did not want to disembark. Then I got it. Back in New York when the flight was canceled, the first plane to come back pit 2 days later, and the disgusting delta is not responsible for any accommodation to eat, but we drove back from New York overnight. It's like the experience of three years ago in New York. When the departure, my paper was asked to change some places, so at the airport and other planes when ZZ helped me to change the whole night, I was responsible for sleeping ... When I came back from New York, the Blizzard Airport closed and opened 2 days later but the flight didn't work, it was two days, so we drove back from the airport overnight ... The difference is that three years ago, ZZ did not have a driver's license, we met at the airport, Italy, he came back. Three years later, ZZ driving, I tell jokes, the back seat with a pair of airport met the old couple, just flew from the domestic to pit to see daughter son-in-law. ZZ said this is called a newspaper, once people help us, now we have to return. The word is not used properly, meaning it is right.

2. The professor asked me what I was doing recently, I told him I was brushing the question, I want to find an internship next semester, ask him what advice. He mused first, saying you reckon it's hard to find the ideal, because you haven't worked in a place outside of CMU. Then he asked me to a few CS classes, I said 8 doors, and then reported what I have been on. He suddenly became very optimistic, said you will be able to find an ideal internship, because he suppose I only on the 3 CS course. He said you had two years of undergraduate class. This year I really feel the unprecedented hardships, but also unprecedented enrichment. I did not know from the beginning how to link to the school cluster on how to find terminal on the school machine to now think of the original thought was really weak burst is to use this year time. I remember the first TA everyone is introducing themselves when Prof just walked by, he asked me the most interesting things, I think the first flash in my mind is that I was a Chinese, studied biology for 7 years, now in CMU in English to teach the American CS. I think life is really interesting. The first semester I went to 4 CS class, at that time my knowledge of CS still stay at 0 level. The so-called ignorant fearless, the middle of how much pain has now been forgotten, I only remember that semester I did not go to exercise, every weekend in the various courses on the office hour, pestering the better TA ask those who they feel weak violent problem. At that time I also often hug zz cry, reason say out let people want to laugh, because can't write homework, because too tired, because want to rest. Perhaps because life has been like that gag come over, also are downwind, not really eat bitter, think of learning as long as learned on the line, until the CMU to know how lucky before. Impression of a class, many students dozed off, the professor asked in front, yesterday did not sleep enough for 4 hours, please raise your hand, I see around the sound of a dense mass. The professor says you have to remember that you have to sleep 6 hours, and I was shocked as much as I originally knew that the computer could be used to do such an interesting thing. I know a CMU undergraduate who sleeps only four hours a day and sleeps in the school library every time she learns that I have eight hours of sleep. I have advised her to retire the dormitory ... Hard work, but when their own homework on the writing of a childhood Tetris, once project has made a dig gold these own once like the game, or get a deep sense of satisfaction. The second semester is a heavier 4 courses. But thanks to the previous semester, I changed a lot better, although occasionally I would like to cry. I'll run 2-3 times a week at least before the midterm. I also used the day of autumn vacation and everyone went to Shenandoah National Park, although for that day, I got up one o'clock in the morning to write homework, driving on the road I also think of homework, to the hotel everyone sleep I still doing homework, but I went to the , and the process of climbing the mountain withoutthan to be happy. This semester to refresh the record of home time, the last few days in a row is to do 3:30 school bus, because again late school bus will be a detour. At the end of the period often 4-5 o ' clock home, write about 12 o'clock hungry, and students go home, cooked in her home after continue to write homework. 5 o'clock in the morning more from her home to my home, about 300 meters away, a person walking on the road, a feeling of fear inside, but there is a kind of peace, is that kind of knowledge to learn their own belly of a feeling of satiety.

3. The professor said what your advisor said when you first made TA, and I said she said no. The Professor smiled. He said that if you ask the advisor, the students will be able to join any club. Advisor will say no. If you ask the advisor, does the student have any hobbies? Advisor would say no, he would say that the only task for a master student is to be a master. The professor said that you proved it is important that a master's student can do ta too. I do not realize the importance of where, may be around NB of the great God too much, I always have the same feeling, because others are too strong, always feel that they have learned so many years ago, now have to refuel. TA is a good memory of my year, although I have to help others sometimes when my homework is in a crash, although sometimes the explanation that emerges in my mind does not know how to express it accurately in English, although Ta spends more time making less money, but when receiving the thanks of those students, When I see they have mastered some knowledge, I still super happy, this kind of happiness is money can not buy.

4. Finally, it is time to return to the topic, this year with me through the people. In fact, the most is the students together, those who class TA, the next is the ZZ classmate, is a little, is a mom and dad. Students in class together said, "Do your husband really hard, listen to you call said the most words is" no "," no "," Do not "," Do not Come "... "Every time ZZ students call to say" go to the supermarket, "I said" no ". ZZ said, "Let's go for a run," and I said "no". ZZ said, "I'll go to the gym and bring you back," and I said, "Don't come." The reason is always a "I do not finish my homework, I want to test, I ta is not finished." But in fact, deep down in my heart they are my most solid backing, is my power of struggle. ZZ Classmate Although not often cook, but he was responsible for all the home in the Zengxidi task, so I once called him to the school. Little bit weekly or every two weeks to and I video and no complaints, he as always, as long as I do not wear eyes will not say that mother ugly dead such words. He's going to be so sweet. I explained to him, "do not easily say love and hate, because love is representative of like very much like very much like" when said "Mom I love You". Mom and dad will always be "eat good, sleep more, don't too hard, don't too tired." 2013 years of the warmest words: I sleep, ZZ and Eva grandparents video. "We sleep on average 3 hours a day this week," ZZ said. Dad said, "Then you do a little more delicious to nn ah." ZZ was unhappy and said, "I only sleep 3 hours a day." Dad said, "Oh, then you buy more delicious to her." ZZ was mad. I am very lucky to have such a thoughtful parents have clever baby and Eva Dad, let me in this should be the foundation of the family can also have the opportunity to challenge themselves to do what they want to do. I'm grateful. In this year parents are healthy baby also thrive, hope that the new year I can try to be a qualified daughter, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, mother. In fact, the so-called lifetime is nothing, it is rare to have a good day. Happy New Year to everyone.

My summary of CMU is: Spend the most money, buy the most sin, but also the most harvest. There are six months to graduate, CMU is destined to become my 20 school life favorite place.
