Central Michigan University Top Questions

The best thing about CMU is social environment. Most students around campus and even off campus are very accepting of one another. There is little violence or controversy. Everyone for the most part is looking to learn in a positive environment and have a good time while getting a high quality education. When I tell acquantances or strangers that I go to Central they all seem to have positive responses. Very rarely do I ever here anybody downtalk CMU.

I love the size of Central. It is not too big and not too small. But I would change the location to more of a popular city where there was a mall. I spend most of my time on campus in my dorm.

I believe Central is the perfect size at least for me anyways. Many people look down a little on Central if they go to U of M or MSU because those apparently are distinguished schools. Yet, at MSU they had 4000 drunkards in the streets and started riots at Cedarfest. Therefore, I believe Central is quite more classy than MSU. Our food on campus is great compared to other institutions. Yet, some people still complain, but that is because they have not gone to another place and tasted what other people are forced to eat all the time.

I'm glad I went greek. I couldn't imagine my life here at CMU without my brothers. They have helped me through some tough times and have made me realize I could find a bond with guys I never thought I would ever connect with.

I think we have the worse mascot ever and it makes us look dumb. Our campus is pretty good size, but needs soooo much more parking. We need more things to do in our so-called "college town", and fast food doesnt count.

I love Central, it is the perfect size for me, not too many students and not too little, and the class sizes are good for me. People don't really give a reaction when they hear I go to central, I spend most of my time in classes. It is a college town. I believe there is a lot of school pride. My best experience has been going Greek at Central.

Central Michigan is in Mount Pleasant, which is a smaller town 2 miles in any direction from campus and its probably going to be farm land. It's nice living in a small town though, the downtown is a nice strip of family owned shops and family owned restaurants. Tailgates are really fun at Central Michigan because I always run into friends that I haven't seen in a while, its always nice catching up with them.

The best thing, that I love about Central Michigan, is its friendly atomosphere. After being here for two years, I can honestly say that I have only run into a handfull of people who weren't friendly and who were not willing to talk your ear off the moment you meet. I have a twin sister who goes to State, and granted they are a bigger school, many of the students there a cold and don't care about getting to know you. I think our size is just right; I enjoy seeing familiar faces and friends while I walk to class everyday, its comforting. When I am here on campus I spend a lot of time in my dorm, at classes, involved in outside activities and groups, and with my sorority events. I think that Central has a lot of school pride, and we can all say we are proud of the football team and all they have accomplished in the last few years.

The big picture is that Central is a wonderful school. It is not to small, nor is it too big. The campus is beautiful and the people at Central are absolutely amazing. The education that you receive here is great compared to other MAC schools. We do get the same if not better education than coming from bigger schools such as Michigan. Also CMU is not that big of a party school compared to what it use to be. Yes there are partys, but that doesnt mean that it has changed that CMU hasn't changed.

The campus is small, no one attendance sporting events, they just tailgate and go home to party more. there is a lot of school pride but no one supports the athletes. usually hang out at the bars, and clubs. the blackstone, wayside, and the pub. i love homecoming week and the scavenger hunt.
