No One Cares

Kids at CMU are too busy for sports. We have some good teams like the club rugby team but we could be NCAA champion and still no one would care. This is only a down side if your into sports, most people here arn't.

Our gyms are nice. You can always play D3.

Availability

You can park on campus for free after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. But daily parking is expensive and you are better off taking the bus or walking to class during the day.

Weather Sucks

There is constantly a cloud cover that makes it very depressing. The weather often ruins outdoor activities, especially athletic practices. It makes it miserable to live off campus. Luckily the school and the city are both good about cleaning up inclement weather (snow/sleet/ice) pretty quickly.
