FAQs
Approximately 28% of Carnegie Mellon students study abroad at some point during their Carnegie Mellon careers. Over half of Carnegie Mellon students who study abroad are women. Approximately half of the Carnegie Mellon students who study abroad do so during short-term periods like spring break, winter break and summer.
Carnegie Mellon doesn't offer financial aid to international students. If you're an international student who plans to enroll at Carnegie Mellon, you and your family must plan to pay the total cost of attendance.
Like Northwestern's rock and Tufts' cannon, Carnegie Mellon also boasts a commonly painted object in the middle of campus: the Fence. Except cooler. Why? Because the original wooden fence, before it's collapse in 1993, was considered the “world's most painted object” by the Guinness Book of World Records.
