Central Michigan University Top Questions

CMU is in the middle of nowhere. The nearest "town" is 15 minutes away, and you can drive through it and not even realize you were there. It makes shopping difficult because you have such limited choices, but it forces you to be creative.

The limited amount of parking on campus for students that live off-campus. Not being able to find a parking spot on campus can be very difficult and frustrating during school hours.

There is much diversity in at Central. Most of the students that attend Central are similiar.

The overall quality of my education

Not enough emphasis on the academic part of the school.

The worst thing about my school could be that it is not the place for everyone. I mean, personality-wise. Central Michigan University is a very out-going, positive, engaging environment. Students are encouraged to get involved and usually do.

The winter weather because it makes it hard to drive to class and go places.

The cold winters.

Administration keeps secrets, a lot of things happen at our school that are kept low key. One faculty had sex with a quarter of the soccer team and they want to keep it a secret so he can get a job later?? CMU wants to put in a good medical school, but current faculty wanted to strike, they don't show it, but they are afriad it will flop because of the near strike fallout.

Lack of cultural events and intelligent discussion. CMU is your tupical midwest school in a pretty rural area where school is not hard to get through and time is spent attending the rotation of 5 or 6 various bars in the town 4 nights a week. It is not culturally or personally enhancing and now that I live in New York City I can see that. I was a full time varsity athlete and barely studied and still graduated with honors. I wish i was more challenged.
