Central Michigan University Top Questions

Describe the students at Central Michigan University.

Megan

Our student body is very diverse. We have many RSO's and I think that every student can find their place here. From sororities and fraternities to a Harry Potter Club, each student can become involved and that makes the student body at CMU even better.

Alex

CMU's student body is extremely diverse. They are lots of student groups for just about any person with any interest level. I don't think any student would feel out of place here. Most of CMU's students are from the Detroit outskirts area (i.e. Plymouth, Salem, Farmington Hills, Sterling Heights, Birmingham, Canton, Rochester, etc.)

Jesse

This university has long been focused on student and apparently staff diversity. From the day I arrived here on campus I have noticed a diverse group of students, different in every way. This university has tons of interest groups. I feel like there is something for everyone here.

Chrissy

I don't think that religion, race, status financially, or other aformentioned "groups" should be a major issue for people in their decision to come to central. These are minute factors that if a person wants to be adaptable would learn to be comfortable in any situation. Preparing for a job means being comfortable in many different levels that aren't necessarily controllable so I will not discuss these beyond the fact that if they are a factor they do exist on CMU's campus.

Tina

It is not racially intermixed for the most part. Minorities would feel out of place. I wear leggins and uggs and a t-shirt. Some different types of student interact but not most. I dont know anything baout the four tables. CMUs students are mostly from MI. Middle class. No. I dont know. Yes they do.

Kim

Tons of opportunities to get involved~~250 RSOs...fabulous!

Brandi

Central Michigan is not really a diverse school, or maybe people don't portray it. I don't think any kind of student would feel out of place. Mosy students wear jeans, sweatpants, t-shirts, and sweatshirts. Many different students interact with each other. Many different types of students interact. It's not as cliquey at high school. CMU students are from all over Michigan. For the most part, I see that many students are conservative. Many students plan on being very successful.

Meghan

I feel there are certain aspects of central's student body that I have found dissapointing. One of these aspects is that many of the students in my residence hall are not open to new experiences or alternative lifestyles. I wish that students were more politically aware and tolerant of other's opinions.

Tara

I feel like no student would feel out of place at Central. While I do think there are a lot of kinks to sort out with dealing with diversity, I feel that Central tries really hard to welcome multi-cultural students. Most students wears sweatpants, and hoodies to class. I think that most Central students are from lower south, by Detroit and from the Grand Rapids area.

CMU is a very open and understanding campus who does not want to take discrimination. It has all different groups on campus for help or support depending on your situation. The adverage student dress down for class, usually in casual attier. Most CMU students are from Michigan, but there are exchange students and from other states as well.
