Case File: Molly Walter

The following are excerpts taken from transcripts of a conversation with a Carnegie Mellon student.

Name: Molly Walter
Year: Junior
Major/Minor: Computer Science and Art
Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA Why Carnegie Mellon? Because of the ability to bridge the arts and sciences. How did you choose your major? I've always been a problem solver and the prestige of Carnegie Mellon's computer science school was too great of an opportunity to pass up! Do you live on- or off-campus? I live on-campus because it’s closer to classes and more convenient. What do you do for fun during the week, in addition to your homework? McConomy Dollar movies, hang out with friends and catch up on sleep. Are you involved in any campus organizations? I work in the Office of Admission as a tour guide. What is your favorite class? Please describe. The Root of Rock and Roll - the professor and the material were absolutely amazing and interesting, finally a history class I truly was invested in. What are your plans after graduation? Hopefully graduate school at the Entertainment Technology Center or a job in computer animation. What is your favorite thing to do in Pittsburgh (or favorite place off-campus)? The Sporting events! Go Pens, Steelers and Pirates!
