Central Michigan University Top Questions

Our student body is very diverse. We have many RSO's and I think that every student can find their place here. From sororities and fraternities to a Harry Potter Club, each student can become involved and that makes the student body at CMU even better.

CMU's student body is extremely diverse. They are lots of student groups for just about any person with any interest level. I don't think any student would feel out of place here. Most of CMU's students are from the Detroit outskirts area (i.e. Plymouth, Salem, Farmington Hills, Sterling Heights, Birmingham, Canton, Rochester, etc.)

This university has long been focused on student and apparently staff diversity. From the day I arrived here on campus I have noticed a diverse group of students, different in every way. This university has tons of interest groups. I feel like there is something for everyone here.

I don't think that religion, race, status financially, or other aformentioned "groups" should be a major issue for people in their decision to come to central. These are minute factors that if a person wants to be adaptable would learn to be comfortable in any situation. Preparing for a job means being comfortable in many different levels that aren't necessarily controllable so I will not discuss these beyond the fact that if they are a factor they do exist on CMU's campus.

It is not racially intermixed for the most part. Minorities would feel out of place. I wear leggins and uggs and a t-shirt. Some different types of student interact but not most. I dont know anything baout the four tables. CMUs students are mostly from MI. Middle class. No. I dont know. Yes they do.

Tons of opportunities to get involved~~250 RSOs...fabulous!

Central Michigan is not really a diverse school, or maybe people don't portray it. I don't think any kind of student would feel out of place. Mosy students wear jeans, sweatpants, t-shirts, and sweatshirts. Many different students interact with each other. Many different types of students interact. It's not as cliquey at high school. CMU students are from all over Michigan. For the most part, I see that many students are conservative. Many students plan on being very successful.

I feel there are certain aspects of central's student body that I have found dissapointing. One of these aspects is that many of the students in my residence hall are not open to new experiences or alternative lifestyles. I wish that students were more politically aware and tolerant of other's opinions.

I feel like no student would feel out of place at Central. While I do think there are a lot of kinks to sort out with dealing with diversity, I feel that Central tries really hard to welcome multi-cultural students. Most students wears sweatpants, and hoodies to class. I think that most Central students are from lower south, by Detroit and from the Grand Rapids area.

CMU is a very open and understanding campus who does not want to take discrimination. It has all different groups on campus for help or support depending on your situation. The adverage student dress down for class, usually in casual attier. Most CMU students are from Michigan, but there are exchange students and from other states as well.

We are not very diverse... I believe we are more diverse than other colleges though. The african american kids interact with each other more than other people, and same with the Asian students.

Not a very diverse student body, if I had to say. Students are for the most part politically aware and active. Predominantly right. Students do talk about how much they'll earn one day.

Central has so many oppurtunities for leadership. However, only about 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the campus take advantage of those oppurtunities.

Central has diversity, but maybe not as much as other schools. There are always events being put on about diversity and awearness. Pride week is coming up here where there are a lot of events geared towards awareness about the LGBT community. There was Asian Heritage month, Hispanic heritage month, etc where groups on campus can come out and support events going on and get a taste of different cultures.

In morning classes student tend to wear sweat pants and comfortable clothes while later on in the day clothes are more casual or business casual. Most students are from the metro Detroit area which makes the school not as diverse as it is led on to be. Most students are from middle class families and fairly well off. Students that would feel out of place at central Michigan would be ones whom grew up in farm communities. There are a few religious groups on campus and segregated racial groups of people which is bound to happen in such a large school.

The student body seems to not put a high value on academics. An example would be the high level of sweatpants wore to class. The students are mostly from the spoiled rich kid base.

CMU's student body is great - lots of diverse people.

There are so many programs on campus that try to incorportate the student body; it is very easy for people to become invloved and the campus encourages this.

Awesome difersity and awesome student body.

If there were four tables at a CMU dining hall the first one would be for the greek community. The greek community on campus is really large and is a clique all of its own. At the second table you would have all of the foreign exchange students. They don't talk to anyone except other foreign exchange students. The third would definetly be the CMU sports teams. And the last one would be for everyone else because really no other cliques are that prominent.
