Central Michigan University Top Questions

Central Michigan University is a place where one can learn, be social and make firends to last a life time.

Anything on campus is within a 15 minute walk and Central had an Entrepreneurship program for anyone who wants to start a business.

The thing that I found to be unique about my school compared to other schools is that contrary to the fact that my university is a Division One school meaning that our population is much larger than some yet also smaller than some other Division One schools it seems as if we are much more close knit like a family. Coming to the school I would not expect that because of the large size but I am grateful to attend a university where people treat you as if they are part of their own family.

My school is just the right size to me which allows there to be a connection between the students that larger universities seem to lack.

It is more cohesive. The people that go there are proud to be there. I love the friendly atmosphere. It isn't a big town, but it is big enough. Professors know your name, and are always willing to help you out in any way they can. School spirit is what it is all about. Oh Ah Proud to be a Chippewa!

The campus is much smaller than the other schools I looked at. There is a lot more hands on experiences available and a lower teacher to student ratio. This allows for more personalized instruction which, for me, is very important. It also allows the teachers to get to know the students a little more.

The unique part about CMU is the sense of community you get from walking around campus or being in the classroom or dorm room. Even though the college itself has thousands of students, it feels like a close-knit community because of how small campus really is and how nice the people are. Another thing that's nice about a smaller campus is that everything you need is within a comfortable walking distance. Plus, even if you can't find something everyone is always nice and willing to help you with anything you might need.

At Central Michigan we have a lot of students so you get that "big campus" feeling, but we are put together on a small campus.

What is unique about my school is that we have an exceptional curriculum and most alumni’s succeed in the career industries. I’d personally choose CMU because they are one of the few schools to offer a degree in Community Development, for working adults. The school also offer accelerated course to help you finish your degree in no time. I’d applied to other schools but the programs offered wasn’t as board as the Community Development Option at CMU.

I am an Athletic Training Major. The program here at Central Michigan is one of the best in the state! It definitely set this school apart from the others that were on my list.

I have very high expectations for myself, and I believed Central would push me to my full potential. I am really happy with my decision so far!

The dorm rooms on Centrals campus is different then many other dorms in Michigan. A majority of the dorms at central have two rooms in one room and they are larger then most of the other dorms at other colleges.

Central Michigan University is a large college, but unlike other large colleges it provides every student with outstanding resources. The dorms are very spacious compared to other large colleges. The residential halls also have fitness centers so you don't even have to walk outside to get a work-out. Another important feature about CMU is leadership safari.

Central's campus is small enough for people to seek out the aspects of college life that appeal to them while being large enough so that there are always new people to meet. Central Michigan University is a great school because it gives you a chance to get involved with the groups that you care about most.

It has all the best feature of large universities and small colleges. The professors are nice and understanding and helpful. The classes are small enough that you can focus and get one on one attention from the teacher. The library especially is my favorite. It is large and open and has lots of little areas to just sit and study or just ready a good book.

What makes this school unique compared to other schools I considered is it's reputation for producing high quality teachers. In the state of Michigan, more currently employed teachers are graduates of Central Michigan University. It also has very high tech classrooms, which allow teachers to use many different means of teaching. The final thing that makes CMU unique is the campus wide "Going Green" project. All facilities are cleaned using "green" cleaners and there are recycling centers everywhere.

Central is a mixture of academics, school pride, and is a good transition into independence.
