Central Michigan University Top Questions

Classmates are always very helpful and willing to get to know you and work together to be successful.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of dumb people here. A lot of them weren't able to get into MSU so they go here. Also, a lot of the students are people who goofed off in high school so they spent a year in community college and transferred here. Many of the students are focused on having a good time rather than building a future for themselves. Again, there are always exceptions and I'm involved in a political club on campus and the people in there are very motivated.

In any given class room seated with thirty 18-23 year olds, I am able to surpass nearly all of them academically and often find myself feeling rather unchallenged on a near day to day basis and although I may have had superior education options prior to enrollment, many classmates are unable to maintain a healthy grade point average.

Mostly friendly, but can be standoffish and not easily approachable.

Love to party

There is no specific sort of person that defines CMU. There's people of every color, every background, every interest, every social standing; everyone interacts with everyone, and judgment based on these facts is rare. Discrimination isn't unheard of, but that's at any school. As an African American student, I've always felt comfortable on this campus and I've never experienced any sort of hate based on my diversity.

For the most part all of the students are really friendly. I have met a lot of good people in my time here at CMU. Whether you're in class, on campus, or at a party, chances are you will make a lot of friends.

Some students seem to complain a lot about studying, homework and professors; I have personally had some really bad classmates that would sleep in the class, come hung over, talk on their cell phone, not participate. Others are super amazing and love to help out.

Many of the people I meet are extremely friendly and want their classmates (and themselves) to succeed and try to help other and accomplish their own goals.

Students here are very friendly. A lot of the students definitely enjoy having a good time on the weekend, but we all, well, most of us know that we still have to get our school work done because that is very important. Other than that the students here are great, very helpful, inviting, and super friendly.
