Hey All, I will be attending Carnegie Mellon this fall for a MA in Literary and Cultural Studies. Congratulations to everyone who was accepted into CMU!

Hi Everyone, My name is Lucy and I am new to the site. I am probably going to attend Carnegie Mellon University this fall for a MA in Literary and Cultural Studies. I was talking to a woman who used to live in Pittsburgh and she recommended that I live in either Shadyside or Squirrel Park. She told me to avoid living in Oakland. She said there were too many undergrads living there and various "slum lords" as well. However, I heard that Oakland had way more things to do when you compare it to Shadyside and Squirrel Park. Furthermore, I head that Shadyside was very expensive. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks for your help.
