Location

Established in 1892, Central Michigan University, located in Mount Pleasant, was originally founded as a school for teachers and Business Education. CMU is one of the 100 largest public universities in the United States and the fourth largest among Michigan’s 15 public schools. The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education ranked CMU as a ‘R2 Doctoral University – Higher research activity’ school in 2016. Only 5 percent of the nation’s universities carry a R1 or R2 classification. At CMU, you can choose from among more than 200 undergraduate and more than 80 master’s- and doctoral-level academic programs. In addition, you can get involved beyond the classroom in one or several of CMU’s nearly 400 student organizations. CMU has a professional police department that is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is dedicated to making campus as safe and comfortable as possible for all students, faculty, staff and visitors. CMU’s park-like main campus covers 480 acres, but it seldom will take you more than a few minutes to walk from class to class. Campus features modern campus housing, championship college sports, a constant selection of events, eclectic dining and breathtaking natural beauty that is completely “Pure Michigan.” Winter average low: night time 14 F ( -9.8 C), daytime 29.8 F (-1.2 C) Summer average high: 79.9 F (26.6 C)

Housing


Undergraduate campus housing first and second year if under 21 years old. University apartments available for 21 and older students. A mixture of 22 residence halls provide a variety of living accommodations. Some residence halls are designated as Residential Colleges - associated with a particular academic department - allowing students who choose to live there opportunities for study and collaboration with other students from similar programs. For graduate students, housing is avialable. However, nearly all graduate students utilize off-campus housing facilities.

Student life

There is more to college life than just classes and studying. That's why there is always something to do on CMU's campus; from joining a fraternity or sorority, to volunteering at a fundraising event with program-specific organizations such as the Physical Therapy Student Organization. One will have many opportunities to explore interests through CMU's 400+ student organizations. If athletics is your game, you can cheer on the CMU Chippewas in a football game or join a team with friends and enter an intramural basketball tournament. You also can choose from a wide variety of concerts, plays, comedians, exhibits and lectures throughout the year.
