I like the size of Central everything is in walking distance yet its big enough to not know everyone that attends. I spend most of my time on campus or near campus working, attending classes or meetings. CMU has many resorces to keep active and keep academics high as well as clean fun. This school also includes an amazing gym area for games, working out and relaxing. There are many opportnuities to get active and any area of interest that people need to take adavantage of.

I love this school. I am from Rhode Island where I feel I was very sheltered and moving here has changed that. I realized I am fine on my own because Central has made my experience welcoming and awesome.

I like the campus size and the opportunities presented to get involved. The CMU promise is great. I spend most of my time in Pearce when I'm not campus because it has a lab and free printing. Not too many people are there either. I wouldn't really say Mt. Pleasant is a college town. More like a boring town. The worst part about CMU is there isn't anything too excited to do because it's a little town. CMU's administration is better than average. There definitely is a lot of school pride. The books are WAY too expensive.

I think the campus is a perfect size. I am proud to go here. I wish though that mount pleasant was more of a college town, there is not much to do up here and finding a job is awful. I also wish that the greek comminity got alot more credit

I think that the best thing about Central Michigan is the students for sure, all the way. Without the students, this school would be nothing. Well, any school without students would be nothing I guess. But I mean its the kind of people and students that we have here that matters. This school is just the right size. Sure, you obviously won't know everyone, there are a lot of students that go here. But at the same time, you make so many friends. And then those friends know friends who know friends, and eventually you meet a ton of new friends. I love it because I meet new people here all the time. I am always making friends. But you keep those friends and see them everywhere: in your classes, on your way to classes, in the dorm halls, in the cafeterias, at the different events going on around campus, etc. As far as the town goes, well its really not much. Mount Pleasant seems to really be in the middle of no where. We don't even have a mall here. The closest one is about 40 minutes away. But we make do. The stores and restaurants that we do have are still great and you can still make do with them. It's actually kind of cool because it makes you appreciate the things you have back home, and it also helps you learn how to live on your own and how to make do with what you have and ignore what you don't have. The people in Mount Pleasant that do live here are great. They are very friendly and helpful and I've never really had a problem or complaint at all with them. The town is pretty easy to get used to because you have one main road which is Mission, and it is right parallel to campus and is the main central point of the town. It gets you where you need to go, and its easy to remember and locate. The dorms are great, probably the biggest and best dorms that you will find in the state of Michigan. Dorm life is amazing, your dorm halls get really close and become great friends with each other. Security in the resident halls is awesome too. Not too strict but at the same time, they make sure that everyone is safe and take care of anything that slightly looks "fishy" to them. School spirit is not like omg CENTRAL! But the student's still love the school, no matter if the sports succeed or fail. They still support the sports teams, but its definitely not over the top like Michigan. The stadium is awesome, and students love going to all the football games. Tailgaiting is so much fun too, and everyone always has a good time. When I tell people that I go to Central the responses that I get are 50/50. Some are like, "Why would you want to go there?" Some are curious, some positive. I guess it just depends. But I always tell them that I love it and I think everyone should come here. Because I do! It's really an amazing school, and if you come here and don't like it then you aren't trying hard enough to make friends, get involved, and have fun. Central makes it easy, all you have to do is put some effort into it. As they always say, college is what you put into it.

Central is a decent size school and fits most people because its not too large or too small. The campus is very pretty in the fall and spring and the buildings are nice for the most part. i spend most of my time on campus in the dorms and on Main Street and my favorite thing about our school is the football games and tailgates before hand.

I enjoy going to school here. I feel that it is the right size because its not too big or small. I spend most of my time in my room studying.

CMU is a great university when it comes to engaging students in getting involved. The administration is here for the students and it shows in their dedication to helping students out. If I had to change something it would be the lack of diversity on our campus. We are working very hard to change that and it is a process. I just understand the importance of it on our campus. Since our football team has gotten better, our school pride has as well. We have more attendance to sporting events and people come ready to support our players.
