Central Michigan University Top Questions

There are many groups and activities that promote the awareness of racial, religious, LGBT, people. There are always programs being put on that deal with these kinds of issues. However, I still believe that there are those who feel unwelcome or uncomfortable in their surroundings. I also believe that once students find their group of friends, it's hard for them to step out of their comfort zone. Most students that attend Central are from Michigan, white, and middle class.

CMU's student body is very supportive of its football team.

The student body is great! It is welcoming and provides many opportunities for social networking.

The general student body is from middle-class families. Since the majority of MI's population is in the Detroit area, this is where a good chunk of the students originate from. On campus you will see students wear a variety of clothing from sweats to suits and everything in between.

The student population is not greatly diverse, although that is growing. The minority population feels somewhat overwhelmed, but overall the campus is very welcoming to everyone.

Very diverse community of students. Students wear jeans, sweatshirts, its a very casual environment. Dining halls are not different as far as tables of different types of students. There isn't much signs of groups of people--everyone is their own person and no one is stereotyped against.

The student body of Central Michigan I believe is very close. Some people may not get along but for the most part everyone is friendly. Students can approach other students and get help or assistance from the student.

Some people come to class dressed up and some people come to class in sweats. I feel like no matter what someone wears to class they will not feel out of place because someone else is most likely wearing something similar. From the people I've met at CMU I would say most of the students are from the east side of the state. Most of my friends I would say are not politically aware, some are active. I know I vote because my mom tells me to but I don't follow anything.

There are many groups dedicated to diversity and the university is good about making sure students feel comfortable or are able to find help if they have been discriminated against. I'm sure that all students would feel welcome at central. Most of the students are from Michigan, many are from down state.

Most of the students at CMU come from Detroit or Grand Rapids.

We are not a very racially diverse college, mostly consisting of Caucasians. Most students are casual in classes, wearing sweats or jeans most days. Most CMU students are from the Michigan area, there are many from metro Detroit, and close to Mount Pleasant.

Most CMU students are from Michigan and seem to be of a middle-class background. Many pay for their own schooling with little help from their parents. Political activity is not as prevalent as at some universities, but still has a presence. My friends are predominantly right, but I that isn't to say that the left isn't well represented.

Diversity? Ha. I'd say there isn't much.

We have a diverse community. Not very much racially but polictically, religously, and we have a large GLBT community.

Apathetic

I think any university will always have a very diverse student body. There's always going to be certain groups and clicks. It's just the way life goes. I don't think Central is different from any other college though in the terms of racial, religious, or different groups.

very deverse and i love that because you get people from all walks of life

I feel Central is really open and accepting. Theres quite a bit of diversity, in all aspects.

I think that we have a lot of different walks of life and that is one of the reasons I like CMU so much.

I think that this school is very diverse. I haven't seen any kind of problem with race here. I also don't see any problems with students with financial problems.
