Prospective Weekend

Sleeping Bag Weekend Wanna live the life of a CMU student for a day and a half? Try visiting CMU during a Sleeping Bag Weekend. Expect to receive an invitation from CMU if you are on their mailing list. If you are not on their mailing list, call (412) 268-2082 or e-mail cmsbw@andrew.cmu.edu. During Sleeping Bag Weekend, you’ll be able to meet other CMU students, faculty, deans, and admissions officers, so bring this book with you and grill everyone you can with questions! Important Tip! Remember, Sleeping Bag Weekend might be the greatest time of your life, but even one and a half days at CMU might not give you an accurate portrayal of campus.
