Central Michigan University Top Questions

Lack of financial aid. There is only some available for certain races and ethnicities.

The reputation of drinking. A lot of people assume that just becuse you go to CMU, you are a heavy drinker/partier.

I can not think of anything in particular that I hate or even dislike.

I don't really know what I would consider the worst thing about my school.

I think that the worst thing about Central is the lack of financial aid available to students. Although there are a lot of ways in which to get funding, there are not a lot for regular students. There is funding available to various ethic and racial groups, but there is limited amount of funding through scholarships, etc for typical caucasion, low-income families.

How small the town itself is

The worst thing about CMU is the low level of diversity among students because we lose out on being exposed to and understanding different cultures and points of view.

The thing that I consider the worst about my school is the fact that it is not a a Big 10 school. I feel as though we are looked down upon so much because of that reason. Parents and students are often under the impression that CMU is a "party school", and they are unaware of the value and experiences one can really recieve from attending this school.
