Describe the students at Central Michigan University.

Katelyn

Central is very diverse. I think anyone would be able to fit in here. Most students wear a tshirt and jeans to class. Most cmu students come from areas in Michigan but there are many international students as well. The most prevalent financial background is the middle class.

In all honesty, I have yet to meet a student I haven't liked. Part of the reason I decided to go to Central was because when I visited all the students i met were very nice. Theres a great variety of what students wear to class, but most students wear jeans or sweatpants and t-shirts or sweatshirts. If your looking at 4 tables in the dining hall, you'll probably see a student eating alone reading or studying, and various groups at the others. People who just got out a class together, or roommates eating together. I'm pretty sure most students at Central are from Michigan, but I have classmates from other states and countries. I don't really know or care what the finacial backgrounds of most of the students are. The students I choose to spend time with are politically aware, but I have no idea about the rest of the student body.
