Services
Housing services
CMU-Africa is a non-residential campus. Students are responsible for their own living costs such as housing and dining costs. For international students, it is important to plan and prepare a budget before you arrive in Kigali. Your tuition fees do not include living costs. Students planning to apply to CMU-Africa can anticipate these costs.
ICT services
Computing Services supports the research, education mission, and associated administrative functions of Carnegie Mellon University. The Help Center provides students, faculty, and staff members with technical assistance and information about computing at Carnegie Mellon University Africa.
Medical services
The U.S. Embassy has an extensive list of medical facilities in Rwanda, including hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies.
All students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to register for the CMU-Africa Alert Emergency Notification Service, which sends text messages and emails to registered phones and email accounts in the event of a campus emergency.
Student Life
Campus life
Kigali is an exciting and lively place to visit, study and work. One of the first things most people notice is that Kigali is spotlessly clean. Residents of Rwanda enjoy a low corruption rate and high quality of life, making the country an ideal location for innovative ideas, research and exploration. Known as the land of a thousand hills, Rwanda’s countryside is picturesque -- full of billowing green hills, turquoise lakes and unique wildlife. Students have the opportunity to explore the Rwanda’s remarkable landscape and culture when they aren’t busy with assignments.
