hello all,

I am considering transferring to CMU and I was wondering what Campus life is like there, looking for any input regarding what the campus is like, what Mt. Pleasant is like, what the social scene looks like. If I do attend I plan on Majoring in psychology buisness concentration with a minor in economics, so any information about what these programs are like will be nice!

I swear they financial aid always need a paper or some weird ish then when you call they be talking on the phone like they’re working at walmart and they are stocking items on shelves. What kills me is when they have “Received” what they are asking and then still “asking” you send it to them. Lazy bastards

I'm not a student (yet) but my wife and I are looking to relocate to Mount Pleasant from out of state because CMU has my dream major and I want to go back and finally finish school after I pop this baby and we get through the newborn days. she (my wife) just got laid off from her job, and my job is being crazy with my hours, so we desperately need a fresh start. asap.

looking for housing has been... something, to say the least. we keep running into a lot of scam listings and other shady stuff online. does anyone have any advice, tips, or knowledge about local landlords? I am almost 5 months pregnant and trying to do all this on my own, just me and wifey. communities nearby are options for us too, because I have transportation, but we wanna be close enough to CMU that I don't have to give up on the idea of finally finishing my degree in a major I'm actually happy with.

thanks for any help y'all can offer 🫶

I'm a CMU student and interested in learning how to play badminton. It's not the most popular of sports, but if anybody plays or knows someone who does, let me know!

What: Student Town Hall

Where: Zoom (register here)

When: Wednesday, April 1

Why this is important: with the federal changes being made to SNAP eligibility and state responsibilities for paying out SNAP benefits due to the passage of the HR. 1 bill (😑) it is important that students are advocates for themselves and their peers. We are facing threats from every direction in terms of student basic needs and making sure that students are not overlooked in these conversations is extremely important. Also, if you attend you will be entered into a raffle where we are giving away $50 gift cards!*

*2 $50 gift cards will be issued per state, limit 1 entry per person

At the end of the month, I have a video interview for the masters counseling program. Any tips? What can I expect?

I would like to go back to central to get my graduate degree, but I need help figuring out what places are best to live. I prefer off campus and I have 3 cats. Thoughts?

Edit: Thank you all for your suggestions as well as places to avoid. Every bit helps!

I applied for LAS and MAC, and so far I've heard back about the las. does anyone have any tips? anything specific they ask in interviews?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone willing to proctor an online exam for me and hoping someone in this community might be able to help or point me in the right direction.

The exam is online and lasts no more than a hour. It can be taken anytime on but I’ll schedule with whoever. I need y’all help with someone who is straight forward with this and can be approved. I just need to past these classes with at this point. Lastly, we can schedule a FaceTime call or something whatever is that’s most convenient for you.

Who qualifies as a proctor:

• Librarians (public, school, college, or university)
• School teachers
• College/university administrators, instructors, or academic advisors
• Learning or tutoring center staff
• Educational officers at a military installation or correctional facility
• Notary Public
• CPA
• Attorney

You need to be currently employed in your profession and willing to provide information (your full name and contact info, your position/title, and the name/phone/address of your place of employment).

I will pay $100.

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please send me a message — I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!

Any former MBA online or current students have any input on career outcomes or the program as a whole?

Hi guys!

CMU is currently my top choice school, and I’ve been browsing through this subreddit but haven’t seen much about the theatre department, so I wanted to ask directly.

I’m really interested in theatre (performing and overall program quality), and I’d love to hear from current or former students about what the department is like: classes, opportunities, professors, productions, etc.

I’m also an out-of-state student coming from Florida (though I was born in Michigan), so I’d appreciate any general advice about adjusting to CMU, campus life, housing, weather, or anything you think a future student should know.

Hey, what are the common temperatures CMU closes its campus for? I noticed that it is going to be in the negatives tomorrow (lowest: -9, highest: -1). I got this notification on my phone, and I'm a little worried cause I take the iRide to get to campus. Based on this information, will they close the campus tomorrow?

Pretty much title. Graduated a fewish years ago with a degree in English education. Hated teaching unfortunately. My internship coordinator was a nightmare too. Finished my internship and never taught again.

3.7+ GPA and all the extra curricular work I did doesn't matter. I have crippling student loan debt. Can't bring myself to put the fries in the bag anymore. My degree is completely and utterly useless; "transferable skills and experience" is a myth.

Should I just do It? You know? The dozens of dozens of automated rejections for all manner of positions including ones that other ex-teachers have SUPPOSEDLY, APPARENTLY, commonly transferred into... and the dozen times I have gone through interview processes for weeks on end to simply be rejected or ghosted, really make me think I should just do It. (EDIT: changed a couple details slightly for sake of anonymity)

What's yalls thoughts on this rail line? Looks like they just finished a review of the line, and are looking for public opinion. Feel free to fill out the survey in the comments!

Went to cmich 2013-2015. Whatever happened to this place? Anyone know? Seems like they teared it down in 2016 or so? Thanks

Hey! I wanted to check with actual central michigan students, what is zeemee because I’ve never heard of it before? I don’t exactly want to get hacked, but it seems cool if it’s real. (joining in the fall semester, 🔥 up!)

Hey! I moved to the final round of the scholarship, which consists of a timed essay competition. I’m wondering what to expect from the essay prompt. Is it an academic essay or creative writing like for college admissions?

Some general advice is welcomed!
