The fact that they change what courses are available with short notice setting students back. And that they add courses to the required when your very close to being done.

The worst thing about my school is that the campus is located right next to Downtown Ypsilanti. There have been problems with security and crime on campus in the last few years. While it seems like the campus has stepped up with security, there are still issues related to on-campus crime.

I believe the worst thing about EMU is the reputation. Many say that EMU isn't the greatest school, when in reality it's a great school. The quality of ones education along with the caring professors and friendly students makes a wonderful college experience.

Safety has often been an issue, but they're quickly working to resolve that. Parking is also an issue, it's often times difficult to find a parking spot that is close enough to your building to allow you to feel safe walking to and from you car. The buildings are also often times outdated and really need to be renovated.

Audrey

bing able to find a good job on or close to campus.

The worst thing about Eastern is the bad reputation it gets from the news. Eastern's campus is no less safe than any other campus, but because of its location and competition with other universities in the area, it is targeted by the press as an unsafe enviornment. As a student at Eastern, this greatly upsets me.

The cost of tuition is the absolute worst thing about EMU. We updated the teacher education computer lab when it was perfectly fine. There goes wasted money. It's becoming extremely unaffordable, especially knowing that what we're paying out won't be matched with what we make after graduation.

Mike

Low enrollment rates recently have caused the school to cut back on funding.
