I went to CMU and dropped out after two years when I decided I was learning a lot more at a summer internship than I was at school. (this back in '96 BTW) Things that have surprised me: - the name does open the door more than you'd think, even to this day, it gets respect, even when I always disclaim it with dropping out - I don't think the quality of the education was particularly better, but the quality of the students was. Being surrounded by people that make you feel like a moron is a good life experience. - It won't automatically get you hired, but it will make people spend a bit more time on you. So I don't know, my advice? Drop out or transfer after a couple years, because jesus christ that shit is expensive these days.
