Central Michigan University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Brian

The best thing about my school are the people I encounter everyday. Everyone is friendly and they are always willing to help one another with any type of situations. There are also many organizations and groups that are always doing charity work to help the less fortunate and many of those values are instilled by this institution. The Staff is very nice and friendly and it makes being here just as good as being at home.

Hillary

I LOVE the special education program at this school. The professors are extremely knowledgeable and they always involve us in the community. I also love that the headquarters of the Special Olympics is on our campus so I can stay constantly involved, and that our entire campus is accessible for anyone, no matter what their special circumstances may be

Julie

What I consider to be the best about my school is that they are always learning knew things and apply it to their classrooms. Many professors take the initiative to learn more and find out what will help students learn to the best of their abilities. They are always trying to find new ways to help us learn the material faster and easier so when we take our exams, we don?t panic! At Central Michigan University, the environment is definitely student based learning and I am very proud to say that I am apart of this university.

Morgan

As a newly accepted Chippawa, the thing that I consider the best would be that everyone here is available around the clock and that the school itself is so accepting of many different types of people with different backgrounds. I think that this is an important thing that is helping not only myself but my fellow peers as well. It is creating a more diverse atmosphere as well as putting us in situations with people who have different views than our own. It is better preparing us for the "real" world because this country is also becoming more diverse.

Colleen

The best thing about my school I would say would have to be how involved we are. We help out the community so much. We do multiple blood drives, book drives, and other things. We have arranged days to get the campus to clean up the area. We also have many community service based groups. Ever our fraternities and sororities do community service that the community acknowledges!

Katelynn

The best thing about Central Michigan University is the friendly (even the animals are friendly) and captivating atmosphere. It is extremely easy to become involved on our campus which allows for the opportunity to meet new people and make meaningful connections. CMU offers close to 200 different clubs and organizations for it's students to join, making it easy to find something you like to do. One of the best things about having a relatively small campus is that once you are involved in a club, the chance that you'll see someone you know in your classes practically doubles.

Lauren

The best thing about Central is the wide variety of events and access offered free to students. The exercise facility is amazingly and includes a weight room, track, courts, hot tub, pool, free weights, and weight and cardio machines. There are helpful workshops such as resume builders, fake interviews, and etiquite dinners. Speakers and entertainers make frequent apperances as well. Free athletic events make you feel welcome unlike some larger schools having to pay for tickets to cheer for your own team. Not only are all these events free but also well advertised and participation is largely encouraged.

Lindsay

The best thing about my school would have to be the students, the athletic department, and the campus. The students are always nice and friendly and willing to help with anything. Fellow students create study groups and the library is always open. The successful football and soccer team make going to sports events fun. Central gives away t-shirts and other goodies during the games and they are great events to hangout with friends. The campus is the perfect size. It takes only 15 minutes to walk from one end to the other. Its really an amazing school.

Dana

The best thing about Central Michigan is the overall feeling you get when you walk on to campus. People here actually say hello to each other and smile at you rather than simply scurrying to class with headphones over their ears and their heads down. You never know who or what you will see while walking around campus and it is very refreshing compared to a lot of universitys I have considered.

Samantha

The friendships that ive made aleady and the fact that are campus is not to big or to small.

Megan

The courses designated for an individual are sorted by the student's interests, career goals, and availability. The classes and professors are flexible and informative; the campus itself is more confined giving students the ability to get to class on time and enhance their academic possibilities.

Kamaria

One of the best things about my school would be that the people are very interested in learning about, and embracing, diversity. Also, my school is very active in volunteer work.

Laure

The town it is located in. Everyone is very friendly and the campus is beautiful.

Cassandra

I feel that having people from all differnt backgrounds, and ages is the best thing about Mid Michigan Community College

Jamie

The workload isn't too overwhelming to the point of suffocating my social life. I can have fun and still do well in school and it's a pretty easy balance. I like that there are opportunities available but no pressure to take them.

Jennifer

CMU is very good with cultural diversity. There are plenty of diversity events every week even. At the first university that I attended, we didn't have any hint of a diversity program so when I transferred to CMU, I was very pleasantly surprised to find the amount and quality of diversity events.

Danielle

Everything. I can't say there is much wrong with the school. It's the perfect at home feeling and the people are amazing.

Mika

Sense of community, school spirit.

Caitlin

The best thing about my school is the small classes, the friends I've met, and the housing. The classes being small really helped me learn the material better. I met a lot of nice people and friends at CMU that I will probably have for a very long time. I also like the fact that the apartments are cheap to rent. I pay about $300 a month, which is very affordable. When I was looking for apartments at MSU, they ran around $500 or more a month.

Jaime

Everyone is always really friendly. I have been to other schools and the people are not as nearly as friendly or helpful then the one's at Central. I also think that Central has a wide variety of Majors that makes completing your major really simple.
