<p>so this is kinda random...but are they supposed to send you a t-shirt? i know for other schools they either just send you one or you have to fill in a tshirt size when you return the enrollment form.</p>
<p>Nah. But you can order one online at the CMU store. Delivery takes about a week to the west coast.</p>
<p>You’ll get a t-shirt at orientation!
Engineers get their own t-shirts then too…</p>
<p>And then after first semester, you’ll get a CMU alumni shirt.</p>
<p>Haha free t-shirts are awesome.
=)</p>
<p>oh haha thanks guys :)</p>
<p>No kidding free T-shirts! Son is a senior and I just checked - about a dozen stored at home; I’m sure he has at least that many with him! Between events on campus, clubs, and visiting companies, you may never need to buy a T-shirt again!</p>
<p>It was a little disconcerting because I had more Cornell shirts in my luggage coming out here than CMU shirts, but neverthless…</p>
<p>CMU related t-shirts after one year:</p>
<p>0) Bagger Shirt (Nov. of senior year to be fair)
- Orientation Shirt
- House Wars decorated shirt
- Fraternity letters
- Fraternity Fall Rush Shirt
- Fraternity Spring Rush Shirt
- Intramural Champion shirt #1
- Gates-Hillman Center SCS dedication shirt
- Random software company from career fair shirt
- Barefoot soccer champion shirt
- Intramural Champion shirt #2
- CMU Biomedical Engineering shirt (for those who follow, yes i’m CS. Don’t ask…)
- And a few more from random organizations</p>
<p>best freebie though? Facebook umbrella! seriously… they must have known cs kids would have been too aloof to bring their own</p>
<p>Ditto-- My D left many of these shirts home this year…I proudly wear some of these to the gym…</p>
<p>And she picked up a bunch again this year – several more left home on winter break.</p>
<p>And at parents weekend we both got matching knitting polos with CIT on them…they were very nice.</p>
<p>A free hoodies now and then would be nice… but wait for Parents Weekend or Carnival- the bookstore pops out a bunch on a “sidewalk sale” for only $10 …that’s when we picked up zip ups and hoodies for the entire family…and the “CMU proud parent” bumper sticker - b/c oh well, it’s the tacky thing to do …</p>
<p>CMU is known to be notoriously generous about giving freshmen free crap. After one year I’ve accumulated:</p>

<li>A CMU “Creative Writing” mug and saucer</li>
<li>HSS “Connect” shirt</li>
<li>PNC bank shirt (given for free with my new CMU account)</li>
<li>HSS “De-stress” shirt</li>
<li>A bunch of unrelated HSS stuff, like a squeeze stress ball</li>
<li>A “Sex Kills: Come to CMU and live forever” shirt (I feel 100% more baller when I wear this.)</li>
<li>Orientation shirt(s). One for Orientation, one for my college.</li>
<li>Purple Mudge House shirt</li>
<li>Mudge logo shirt</li>
<li>Mudge logo pants </li>
<li>Gates Hillman shirt from when ol’ Bill was visiting campus</li>
<li>Free nerd shirts that random companies give away sometimes</li>
<li>A shirt I got for completing a survey from the Quality of Life center</li>
<li>Software Engineering merchandise (mug, pen, plate, water bottle, shirt). </li>
</ul>
<p>Whoo.</p>
