I wish I knew I wasn't going to like the research in the group I was supposed to join here.

Recommandation personnelle
If you're in the Engg. Deptt. you're safe. If you're into natural sciences, be absolutely sure which group to join, because Mellon is a small college; you won't be left with any *second* choices!

Commentaire personnel
There certainly was a gap that needed to be bridged in terms of accent, when i reached USA from India; and more so it needed attention as I was doing a teaching assistantship. I took the TA test and put me on grade 2 (grade 1 is a perfect score, grade 5 is incorrigible). So i had to go through some minimum courses for a month and took the test again and got a grade 1. I was then fit to teach undergrad courses. It was a little annoying all this speaking English the way *they* speak. ridiculous!
Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
It's cheaper to stay in a rented apartment than on CMU campus.

Commentaire personnel
The university housing at CMU is mainly for undergraduate students and is quite exhorbitantly priced. Otherwise, Pittsburgh has a decent cost of living, and you do get nice apartments to rent close-by, which is within your budget.
