Central Michigan University Top Questions

I think the best thing about CMU is the Greek life. The sorority's are awesome and the fraternitys throw good parties. Its also not too big but not too small of a town. Also tailgating is so much fun and probably one of the best things about CMU and the best part of the year. I also just joined a sorority Delta Zeta so that was probably one of the best decisions.

I love the people at Central, also they campus is just big enough where you can tell you are on a big campus, but it still has that community feel about it.

The best thing about CMU is the size and the campus layout. One thing I'd change is the massive amount of money we spend on diversity. It's a waste. I spend most of my time on campus in my dorm room, in class or in the library. CMU's administration needs to stop being so politically correct and wasting so much of our time and energy on "multicultural/diversity" programs. School pride is very high considering we've been the MAC champs for a couple years now! Frequent student complaints: WAY too liberal. Too many diversity programs.

Like I'm sure it is anywhere, advisors are essentially useless, and you are often left to figure it out for yourself. It's been fine for me, but I could see how it's a concern for otheres. The town is small and there isn't much to do here, but coming from a small town, it's an improvement -- we can get pizza delivery, and that's something I couldn't do at home.

I feel like this school is just close to the perfect size. If it were just a little bigger, it would be awesome. Also, location is not a point of pride of mine as far as this school is concerned. I'd much rather prefer to be west coast, but seeing as Michigan will never be on the west coast, it seems to make more sense here :). Most of my time on campus is spent in the dormitories or with my fraternity brothers all about campus. The best thing about this campus, in my opinion, is the Greek Life. Without it, four years here would probably become unbearable. If I could change one thing, I'd make it so the school advertised its Greek Life a little better, because I really think it is one of the best selling points of the school.

The best thing about Central is the campus size. We have over 20,000 students but it only takes me 15 minutes to walk to the other side of campus plus I see 5 people I know along the way. If I could change one thing it would be a mascot. I repect the Native Americans near by but I wish we could all rally around a common mascot. One controversy that was pretty recent was the hanging of noses in a building. They were meant as a joke meaning "i would rather hang myself than do this project" and were in way racial. People took it the wrong way and it got blown way out of proportion. I feel like some people are always on the defensive and take everything to the extreme when there really is no need.

Central is the right size. It's large enough to get "lost" in the crowd when you want or to make a name for yourself. The faculty is helpful for th most part because the class sizes arent too big.

The best part about Central is the Experience. This has become a new home for me and I am enjoying every opportunity. There are so many ways to get involved and most of the students take the initiative to lead all the activities on campus. It is also the perfect size for most college students.

Central is amazing! For mid-Michigan it's a college town and there's a party scene to proove it. The campus is just right... easy enough to walk everywhere, but large enough to not run into the same 20 people every day. The food is pretty good too! Oh and of course, athletics. MAC champs two years in a row for football, our baseball team just beat U of M and our wrestling is known around the country. Go Central, then go Greek! =)

Community. Happiness. Caring.
