Central Michigan University Top Questions

I think that this campus is the perfect size. I would change MIP policies in the dorms. If a students gets caught drinking in the dorms, they do not get an MIP... I think they should. We do have a lot of school spirit, but I don't think anyone really knows what the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe stands for. Out town is a total college town and not many of the townies like us.

I wish that Central had a bigger town. I like the towns of East lansing or Ann arbor but the school are too big for me. I think it would be ideal if we had a bigger town instead of a seasonal hick town. I am very active so I spend most of my time on campus. I am either in class or studying or doing things for my sorority. THere is not much school pride. I loved St. Patty's day my freshman year I think that is one experience I will never forget.

I feel that Central is a perfect size campus. Most of the time that i spend on campus is in the classroom. Otherwise i would be eating at a dining commons or at the food court. Since i live off campus i do not spend a lot of time just hanging out on campus. I dont know if would concider Central a school that has a lot of school pride. There are people who love the school and the experience that they achieve, but i dont know if i would say that the athletics generates enough of a portion to school pride.

The best thing about CMU is the overall environment that the campus has. You can walk down the street and say hi to a random stranger and they will say hi back to you. The classes are small enough that most professors learn all of their students names and are helpful whenever a student has questions or needs help beyond what the professor is required to do. Almost all of the classes are taught by professors not their assistants, and just the college town environment that is present in Mt. Pleasant is great.

Central Michigan University can be summed up as this..... It 's not one of those big campus where you have to for class an hour before it starts. yet its not so small that you see the same people everyday. the city of mt. plesant is not your typical urban chic college town. in fact central michigan university is the town.

Central Michigan is in a rural town that is bigger than my hometown, and there is a lot to do around here. We have tons of school spirit (especially for our football team...FIRE UP CHIPS!). On campus, I go to the SAC everyday and workout. The most recent issue is the "noose" incident. Students here always complain about the poor roads and how poorly the salt works on the sidewalks in the winter...o wait....THEY DONT USE ANY!

The best thing about CMU is the atmosphere. This is great place to live and go to school. I think that the size of our school is just right, i dont have to walk 45 mins to go to class. One thing i would like to see changed is parking. I think its getting a little over crowded and its hard to find parking on campus without getting a ticket. I say i spend most of my time at my fraternity house. Yes, there is alot of school pride. Nothing unusual. A experience i will always remember is homecomings. It is a great time, alot of alum come up for it, and my family comes up as well.

Central Michigan is a very laid back college campus. I may be a little biased, but people are much friendlier at Central than any of the other major universities I've been to. Every place on campus is just a stones throw away. I'm from a very small town in Southwest Michigan, so I was the only person from my graduating class that attended Central. When I tell people I go to Central Michigan, they seem to think I'm doing all right for myself, being that I'm doing well in one of the top 3 biggest colleges in the state. I am really enjoying myself at Central, but I couldn't fathom being in Mt. Pleasant or the Mid-Michigan region after I graduate.

Central Michigan does have a pretty big reputation as a party school. When you tell people you go to school here, you can get a wide variety of responses. From oh, I went to some really sweet parties there back in the day, to oh, well some of my friends went there, but I went to _______. It all kind of depends. You can find a party almost any night of the week, and just like the other big schools, MSU for example has Grand River as the party street, CMU has Main Street. The parties get wild and you rarely can walk the streets without running into an officer. But all in all it is a pretty good place to recieve and education. I mean, at least its not Western.... :)

I don't go to Central. So I don't really have any suggestions.
