I honestly don't know 'why CMU?'
I am an out-of-province student from Ontario. Since CMU is a small university, you might think it's not heard of in other provinces, much less the world. You would be mostly correct from my experience. I had not known that CMU existed until my mama's friend mentioned that one of her daughters went there. At that point I hadn't even decided if I wanted to apply for post-secondary education yet or take a gap year. I knew that eventually I wanted to go and be the first person in my immediate family to go to university, but I had no direction for that desire.
