Central Michigan University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Central Michigan University accurate?

Dawson

No. We do know how to have fun, but we work hard and play harder. I used to think that Greeks were sterotypical also, until I went greek and found out that there are so many things that we do sometimes we don't even have time to go party. We really help out the community with service projects and volunteering. Greeks also are encouraged to do well in school in order to particpiate in greek events.

NO! At any college you go to, there are obviously going to be a select group of students who are just there to party, but it's not fair to generalize the entire school as being that way.

Kristi

No. I mean yea we party but so does every other university. We have decent academics and personally I know many students who choose Central over state or michigan.

Ellis

No.

Jennifer

No. A lot of CMU students enjoy the smaller feel of Mt. Pleasant and Central's campus. As a transfer student from MSU I don't find the curriculum any less difficult.

Alyssa

I don't believe it is the way it used to be 10 years ago. I feel that we are not the biggest party school in Michigan anymore.

Maureen

No, they aren't because there is always something to do in Mt. Pleasant.

Chelsea

some of them are. it is just as much of a party school as any other college in michigan. it is easier to get into than msu, u of m, etc but just as easy as western or eastern. it is a good school for education majors.

Vanessa

Every college has their partying but I do not think that it is what all of Central is about. It does have a very good teaching program, I had several teachers in high school who graduated from here.
