Eastern Michigan University Top Questions

The freshman dorms, I feel like I am in a jail cell with a window

The worst thing about my school would have to be the food. Super greasy, fried and fattening. There isn't enough variety for me!

The worst thing about my school is that it's a commuter school so if you choose to live on campus and are expecting the college expereince like a big school you'll be dissapointed.

The worst thing about my school was the reputation of locations nearby. There was a big ten school right near by, which made our school seem less like an accomplishment. There are also areas nearby that aren't safe to walk around in at night, which gave the school a bad reputation in some aspects.

Unfortunately the worst thing about the school is the parking and the cost of parking. Unfortuantely for me, I have to stay living at home in order to pay for school. Parking is very difficult on campus and I have to pay for a commuter tag which is ridiculously expensive no matter what the semester is. I have to often drive on campus as long as it takes me to actually get to school inorder to find a parking spot. In the end, I have had to pay more in parking than in books.

Despite some of the beautiful architecture and the environment on capmus, the surrounding area is unsafe and sketchy. I don't feel safe going anywhere off-campus, whether it's during the day or night. I only go off-campus when I am with a group of friends or are traveling in a car. Several off-campus shootings and robberies have occured just within my freshmen year.

The worst thing about my school is the area around it. We are always notified about crimes happening around campus and it makes it a scary experience to have a night class and have to walk to your car afterwards. I think there needs to be more light around campus so that people do not have to walk in the dark. It would help me and I'm sure many other students to feel more comfortable around campus. I think more security would help as well. It would put students at ease to see protection around campus.

There is not enough events during the weekends so that students are engaged on campus or stay on campus during the that time period.

I would like to see more parking available.

I feel the worst thing about my school is the racial differences. Our school is very racially mixed and as much as Eastern prides itself in that there is so much prejiduce that comes with it. The school should do a better job in not having a "black" social here or a "white" social event here.

The parking spaces are very minimal for a college that is mainly commuter. I don't have many complaints about the campus or staff.

I think the worst thing about Eastern Michigan University is that there is not enough parking for commuter students. Usually the staff and commuters have to share parking lots.

The worst thing at the moment is the TONS of construction going on, but once that's finished, we'll have a shiny new addition to our school.

The worst thing about Eastern for me is how big the school is and the fact that they are under construction right now. There was alot of walking and the parking pass was $75 which i'm not used to because before Eastern Michigan I was going to a community college which is a big difference but after a while of getting use to it the campus is like a big circle so I figured out where things were but i'm still building up my leg muscles from all this walking everyday.

The parking! It's always terrible and i think it's ridiculous that the students need to pay so much money just to park at the school!

I would have to say the worst thin about my school is some of the online courses. I feel like teaching an online course is far different then teaching it in class. I feel I didn't get the most efficient way of learning from my online class and I fear that other students aren't either. For some, it's the only way to get an education and I would hate to see them get cut short with what they could really be learning.

The football team.

I love my school day, I love my classes and professors, the hard part though is having early morning classes and having to get up at 7am for a 8am class.

I think the worst thing about my school is the crime rate. The school's police department sends us emails when something happens and there has been several robberies and shooting in the area. There was a killing in one of the dorms at the end of 2007. This has frightened me about walking around campus.
