Eastern Michigan University

Pros: Good facilities on campus.
Cons: Does not adequately cater to the needs of International students.

I have to admit that I have been somewhat of a ‘professional’ student in my nine years here, in the US. The flexibility of the education system fascinates me to no end, universities beckon me to go through one course after another, and I am afraid that...

Pros: Great teacher education and foreign language programs. Small class size. Qualified, competent instructors. Value.
Cons: Bureaucracy. Parking. Lack of grad programs in my discipline.

I came to Eastern Michigan University as something of a higher education snob. Having received my B.A. from Albion College, a tiny, “highly selective”, liberal arts college set on an idyllic, well-manicured campus, I expected that a large, ...

Pros: A Handful of Good Professors
Cons: Fraudulent Thieving Bureaucracy, Nasty People

A recent article in the Ann Arbor News described Eastern Michigan University as having a bad reputation. This may be the understatement of the century. Eastern Michigan University is one of the worst bureaucracies in higher education history -an ...

Pros: Good undergraduate programs
Cons: Not enough graduate programs

This is my first year at EMU. I find this university to be satisfactory at all levels. It is a medium sized university and it is easy to get around. The interior of the buildings could use a little work as some of them are rundown inside. The new library...

Pros: Has some name recognition / value, some really great professors
Cons: Great professors are VERY rare and are out weighed by those who don't care.

Working full time for almost my whole college experience I have been attending Eastern Michigan University for six years now. Through this long process I have learned the hard way that Eastern has very little care into the quality of their professors. ...

Pros: Nice mid size college - homey feel.
Cons: Parking

Eastern Michigan University is located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, just 10-15 minutes from Ann Arbor. I chose EMU after high school because I was impressed with the College of Business (COB).

I lived on campus my freshman year, in Downing Hall...

Pros: good school
Cons: parking

When my husband first told me that he got a job in Ann Arbor Michigan my first feeling was what school was I going to go to. I had just completed one year of community college and really was nervous about going to another college. I first went to...

Pros: good and helpful people, school spirit
Cons: ?

Eastern Michigan University is a great school. There are lots of things to do and to get involved in. Getting involved in activities in college is not nearly as retarded as getting involved in high school. EMU is a whole different ball game where you...

Pros: Easy to get around campus
Cons: I sometimes have an unsafe feeling in the city (Ypsilanti) that eastern is in.

I am currently in my forth year at Eastern Michigan University.

Reasons to go here:

1. Near Ann Arbor (University of Michigan). It's only a ten minute drive. Also, it is a lot easier to drive around Ypsilanti than it is Ann Arbor....

Pros: Excellent professors, student clubs, off-campus life
Cons: Parking, commuter school

I graduated from EMU in 99 and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the education that I received, the wonderful professors, the campus, student life and Ypsilanti itself. I transferred to EMU after earning my Associates at a community...

Pros: great location, easy to get around the campus
Cons: parking, cost of rental living

I have both undergrad and grad degrees from EMU and proud of it. The Communication Program is wonderful with a great group of Professors. I don't think that any of the students are snotty (nothing like next door-U of M), but you will encounter some...

Pros: Smaller college feel, price is right, good professors
Cons: General classes fill up too easy, registration can be troublesome.

Two years ago when I had a key decision to make, I chose to come to Eastern Michigan U. I am a business major and they have great accommodations for it. Eastern is an excellent school if you want to go into education. It is much less priced than any...

Pros: Smaller sized school with lots of things to do nearby (Ann Arbor and Detroit)
Cons: Lots of commuters and students who don't stay around for the weekend

Eastern Michigan University (EMU) was the third, and final, school I attended to receive my undergraduate degree.


When I first told friends that I was going to transfer there, they were quite adamant that I chose another school. Word...

Pros: location, cost, program
Cons: none

I attending a different college for my undergraduate degree, but received my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Eastern. I found it to be far more affordable than other graduate programs I looked into (including UofM and Bowling Green). I also found...

Pros: Fun times
Cons: The teams suck

This schools athletic program is laughable at best, what can you say about their football team which just scored its first point ever agianst U of M last year. Sure, their bball team is ok, but nobody knows that until the march madness, "if"...
