<p>Hey everyone! </p>
<p>I'm an international student who's been accepted into Carnegie Mellon Biosciences for Fall 2009. I haven't heard back from most of the schools that I've applied to, but I'm pretty much set on going to CMU. :) </p>
<p>Is anyone else here also going there? By all accounts it seems CMU takes in a lot of international students. Just wanted to get some opinions on the department. Is the overall research environment/department pleasant? </p>
<p>Also, from what I hear Pittsburgh is a pretty nice place to live but I was wondering if 24k/year stipend CMU's offering is sufficient to live comfortably.</p>
