Central Michigan University has the best professors for the Recreation Department! Everyone here is a family and the people really do care about your well being and future. This college has made me a better person through it's programs.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Never be afraid to ask for help if you are confused on an issue or subject. The stupid people were the ones who stayed quite and failed out of classes.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Some classes could seem easier than others, but it depends on what academic strengths you have personally. Don't skip classes and stay on top of your assignments and studying for exams and you'll be fine.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Keep a positive attitude about your living arrangements, and you'll find when you meet your roommates, 9 times out of 10 you'll like them. DO make sure you set rules and guidelines down that everyone has to follow. That way there will be less frustration with people later, and when something happens you don't like TALK about it.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I thought the food was pretty good. There are multiple food stations you can go to, so if you don't find something you like you can go elsewhere. The staff was very nice and helpful even!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If living in the dorms: have a nerf gun fight with your entire hall! If living in the apartments: board game nights are always a blast! There's always a free event being held too, so just look around you because there is ALWAYS something fun to do!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The Central Michigan Marching Band is one BIG family! The drumline which I was apart of for 3 years is such a close family. It was hard work, but completely worth it because we were what kept the crowd cheering during the football games!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Every night there are two retired police cars that are now called the Safe Ride vehicles. Their job is to pick up students at night who need to get around campus but feel unsafe to walk by themselves. It's free and the staff is very helpful!
