What do students complain about most?

Anna

It is no secret that Carnegie Mellon is a very competitive and work intensive. And, yet students still feel a need to always inform their friends how sleep deprived they are. It's a completely justified complaint and you will hear it over, and over, again.

Without a doubt, the biggest complaint students have at CMU is the academic workload. Regardless of your major, the amount of time, energy, and effort students apply towards their craft is borderline nauseating. Students are almost in a perpetual state of sleep deprivation due to perfectionist tendencies, and the actual amount of schoolwork and studying associated with receiving their desired grade.
