Meet Jai! And get ready to experience Carnegie Mellon University through his eyes
Jai is a senior at Carnegie Mellon University, Architect Major who is apart of almost everything on campus. He loves to do everything except academics and serves on board of tons of clubs and societies.Check in with Helen before she heads out for the day!
At CMU you can rent electronics from the library and return them when you are done with them. A great feature for when you have to film for a project or even just need to use a piece of tech you don't already own.Walk down the Gates Building Helix with Helen
The Helix is a spiral staircase that takes you to all the floors of the Gates Building. One of the fun things that people do is race each other down the helix after hours. Dont forget to get off when you need to or you'll end up at the bottom.Jai shows you 'The Fence' - "The longest tradition on campus!"
The Fence is both a CMU tradition and a work record. Each day the fence is painted with something different, advertising for clubs and all sorts of events. The only rule is that it cant be painted on until after 12pm and only until 6am in the morning.
