Central Michigan University Top Questions

GENERALLY I have not seen discrimination or anything similar on campus. Most students go to class so they're comfortable, unless they are in their last few classes and should dress more professional.

A student that does not get involved will feel left out.

I feel that CMU tries very hard to promote diversity on campus. However, the same groups of students attend all of these same events. The only other time that many people go is when they have to go for class.

People seem to be extremely apathetic politically wise on campus- but i've never had problems with any racial or any other type of discrimination.

most students are relaxed around centrals campus, sweatpants and sweatshirts are always acceptable to wear to class, which is nice for most! the one bad thing is that the campus is not very diverse.

CMU is a very diverse school that offers many opportunities to get to know students that are very different from yourself. I have enjoyed getting to know people who have cultures and views that are different from my own. I really don't think any person would feel out of place going to CMU because it is so diverse and welcoming to anyone. Students at Central are very laid back, which is probably the case for most college campuses but they are still very involved and dedicated to school spirit.

there are alot tof groups on campus that get involved in many charitys which is nice. i feel like they give back to the comunity

The majority of Central's students are from Michigan. I have met a decent amount of students that come from surrounding states such as Ohio and Wisconsin and very few that come from any where else. I know that we do have students attend CMU that come from abroad but I have not interacted with any of them personally. CMU has a relatively diverse student body compared to my high school.

I like the students since they are all different. Everyone has something different to bring to the university.

There are almost no boundaries to what students wear to class. I have worn both sweatpants and suits before. We are very diverse in what we wear around campus. Most Central students are from either the metro detroit area, Saginaw, Grand Rapids, or the U.P. A student who would feel out of place is someone who is just looking for a degree. Someone who doesn't want to make lifelong friends, go to socials, meet people and have fun. They are strictly paying for college to get their degree and move on with life. At Central the students enjoy college and work to better themselves so that when they get out into the real world they are well rounded.

No real problems with any of the groups. I am a member of the LGBT community, but am not an active participant in it. I'm gay, but I don't let it define who I am. I am not one to fight for gay rights.

I think we have a very good group of diverse students, I just wish we could meet more people without joining a group.

There are a lot of groups on campus and I think they are good to have and well respected. I dont think any student would feel out of place at Central. A lot of students just wear hoodies and jeans to class, no one really gets dressed up. I think different types of students interact. Central students are from everywhere but a lot of them are from metro detroit and grand rapids areas. I think a good amount of students are politcally aware and I have no idea about predominately what side. I haven't really heard students talking about how much they'll earn.

I don't think that too many students would feel out of place at Central Michigan. CMU happens to be predominantly white, but there is a diverse mix of most races. Also from my experience at Central Michigan, Students happen to be very friendly and welcoming to any race.

I think all types of students interact amongst Centrals campus. Of course everyone finds that certian group that they become comfortable with but I can't say that there is discrimination to any students. Most students are quite alike; all wearing sweats and comfortable clothing to class. A lot of the students here are from Michigan, and a lot from the metro detroit area, so I think that helps us relate to one another.

The student body, I think is one of the best reasons to go to Central Michigan. There are so many opportunities to get involved in things on this campus. The people here are very accepting of you, which makes the experience ten times better than what it woul dhave been somewhere else.

student body is very diverse, the students are segregated and dont have a lot of things to bring them together.

OUr student body is diverse. We have people from different countries and backgrounds. Many people are liberal and willing to learn more about other cultures around them. Some students pay attention to politics, but for the most part I think many don't. I know many did not even vote in our campus elections.

I think greek life has many stereotypes. People dont always give greeks the respect and credit we deserve. We do a lot most work than the average college student and I dont feel that that is always represented as so. CMU is not racially mixed. A black person or ethnic person would feel out of place. I wear leggings and UGG boots to class. For the most part, different types of students do not interact. I do not go to the dinning hall. Most central students are from Metro Detroit (or at least I like to think that). Most the people I know are well off finiancially. Mostly middle class i guess. No students are not politically aware or active. I dont know what that means L, R, or center. Yes, students talk about how much they'll earn one day.

Central is really trying to promote ending diversity. There are multiple programs that offer information and education on other ethnic groups or religions. I dont feel like any student would feel out of place at Central. There are so many groups, that each person has at least one that matches their interest. Or they could at least find a group of people outside of those clubs to hang out with. In high school there are many sterotypes and cliques, once you walk into the doors at Central, all of that is broken down and the most popular girl in school could be eating lunch with a member of the band.
