Central Michigan University Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is that some students don't take learning seriously, they would rather be here for other reasons than learning and growing as a person. Students always think it's necessary to cut loose, and their priorities get all out of line. It's fine to have fun, and go out during the week/weekend, but a lot of students don't understand how to find a balance.

Central Michigan University is located in a very-small town. There is very little to do on the weekends.

Long walks to classes

I feel that my school needs to cut down on the partying.

I'm not sure.

The worst thing about Central Michigan University, just like many other universities, is the expenses. A standard student living on campus with a meal plan, taking 12 credit hours is estimated around $20,000 per year. Without scholarships most students would have to take out loans which can be a burden later on in life.

There is not a whole lot to do in Mount Pleezy. Mostly, kids party because that is really al that there is to do. There is a good club, The Wayside, and then there is a hookah bar, called The Sixx. Thats about it. There is a very nice Student Activites Center, known to everyone just as the SAC were there is all kinds of rec games. If you are into fitness stuff there is a lot of classes to choose from; zumba, butts and gutts, pilates, and other fun workout classes.

I think the worst thing about Central Michigan University is that they do not clear the snow very well during the winter season. Students are usually walking in six or seven inches of snow to get to class.

The worst thing about my school is that they do not accept American Sign Language as a foreign language requirement. This means that I have to take an additional foreign language class to fulfill the university program.

There really isn't a horrible thing up here. The North Campus food isn't the best, but it's not terrible.

The worst thing is the price. These days it is hard to come up with money for college and students are having to take out more and more loans. This past year tuition went up slightly - not helping the financial situation. There are ways to pay for school through CMU and loans, but the prices for any college these days are so high that students stress out about money as well as academics.

The worst thing about Central Michigan University in my opinion is the cost. I expected it to cost a lot especially being an out-of-state student but the tuition is still on the extremely high end. Also the school charges a lot for the required text books. I was required to get a book/cd combo for a chemistry class that cost $238. Ninety of that was for the cd which gives you a 24 month subscription to an online homework website but I only need it for 6 month. That was the worst overpricing I've seen.

I can't think of anything negative to say about CMU. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there--educationally and socially!

I don't like that it is such a small town, and that there is no public transportation that enables one to visit other surrounding cities. However, the small community aspect on campus offers a less scary transitions to new freshman just getting out on their own.

I think that the worst thing about Central Michigan University is the lack of a nursing program. I believe this to be true because from my personal experience with being around people who are considering attending Central Michigan University, this has been one of the deciding factors. I also believe that if there was a nursing program available here at CMU it would increase the admissions greatly.

The worst thing about my school I would have to say is the weather. It is always very cold. Because the area is all flat, the wind hits you in the face both on the way to class and back from class. We get a lot of cold weather or rainy weather. It is not the sunniest place on earth. Therefore, I would say the weather.

The worst thing about CMU has to be the availability of parking. The unfortunate freshman who do not register their cars early enough have to park behind the football stadium, a good twenty minute hike from the opposite side of campus. But Central accomodates for this by offering those freshman who register their cars early enough during the summer the opportunity to park closer to their dorms. This is purely on a first come first serve basis.

I think that the worst thing about my school is that the snow makes it very difficult to get around. Being in mid-michigan, there is a reasonable amount of snow, and during snow storms, plows are sometimes unable to get all of the sidewalks. With snow on the sidewalks, it is very difficult to cross campus.

Its too big, its hard to connect with people and not feel overwhelmed by the student body.

My brother, sister and I attended the same college. The worst thing about CMU is that a school counselor gave my sister negative advice. My sister was not a student that kept on track or even knew what she was going to school for and when she finally went to get advice, the counselor deterred her by his/her words and she dropped out.
