CMU Policies Not Too Bad

Most of the pressure here is what students put on themselves, not what comes from the administration. Teachers and department heads have a lot of say in their own academic policies. Also, most clubs here govern themselves and choose their own rules.

CMU's Policies

Carnegie Mellon is like any other college, wanting the best for its students but also concerned about the business side of affairs. Most of the policies are there for student safety and convenience. Amnesty for example--if an underage student starts to become dangerously inebriated within 2 miles of campus, a friend may call campus police for them and be taken to the hospital without mention of the incident on any records. Occasionally policies are added to ensure that the University does not have litigation trouble, but they for the most part do not effect the student body.
