Eastern Michigan University Top Questions

My majority classmates are younger than me.

Our school is rich with heritage and pride. So many different types of people can flourish and interact just from walking class to class. Just in the parking lot you can meet- a black american from motown, an arab american from Dearborn, an Asian American from Troy, some country folk, an exchange student, an even a native american complaining about General Custer. As I have said prior, our school does such an excellent job of coming together and looking past socio-economic or racial boundaries! I think because Eastern is basically the cheaper alternative to University of Michigan we, the students, have embraced our differences and reap the benefits of attending a university with such diversity! Students really have a hungry for knowledge about our state government or spreading the optimism of diversity. We have black power organizations, Jewish fellowships, geeky zombie lovers, or simple Christian study groups, but they are all posting on the bulletin boards next to each other and they are all fighting for who spray paints the spirit rock each weekend!

I would describe the students at Eastern Michigan University as friendly. Most of us keep to ourselves if we don't know anyone but are willing to friend a classmate whenever the opportunity arises. We tend to group with students in the same program as us because they are in multiple classes with us and we start talking in those classes. If you ask someone on campus a question, they normally answer it politely. There are always going to be those people who don't like talking to strangers and act like they don't hear you, but it's not that hard to find someone willing to help. Like I have said before, there is a diverse group of students with diverse personalities at Eastern. Jocks, geeks, teachers, nurses, religious, non-religious, you name it we have it! However, for the most part, we all seem to get along and come together as a school.

Eastern's campus is so diverse that I'm sure that there is someone for everyone. There's a group of eco-friendly kids on campus who go shoeless and ride bikes everywhere. Every religion is represented and 48 states too. As a Black, Christian student on campus, I have found many friends that I can identify with and many other friends that are nothing like me, but just as great.

Here at EMU, we are very open-minded and liberal towards ethnic, religious, sexual, and socio-economic identity. We have a very prominent LGBT community on campus as well as many groups dedicated to each of these categories. I don't believe that anyone would feel out of place at this University, because I see so many people from so many backgrounds and yet everyone is treated with the same respect. I don't think that it can be said that every EMU student shares one single quality other than we have Eagle Pride!

My classmates have been very freindly, helpfull, and encouraging.

My classmates are tactful and willing to put time into a group, so that all sudents will understand the work that is before us and will answer questions to the best of each ones knowledge to succesfully complete assignmnets and task in classes.

In my classes, I am surrounded by intelligent goal-driven people who value education.

The student body or Eastern Michigan is highly diversified and highly tolerant of alternative lifestyles.

My classmates are great student and friend
