Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Journalism  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright CMU set me up with great internships and my professor gave me the heads up for a job opening, which led to landing a job before graduation. I had awesome profs and still keep in touch today. There are so many opportunities to get involved at CMU - take them. I worked for the student newspaper, did PR for my sorority and did two internships that the journalism department helped me find. I know it is what everyone says - but get involved with campus. It really made a difference for me when it came to finding that first job. I work more with marketing and ads than newspapers now, but a CMU alum helped get me my current job too. There are so many CMU grads (I think I read 600,000 globally) and sometimes that connection makes the difference! Starting Job: Publications editor, Preparedness: A+, Reputation: A Have a Question?

The campus is very small so it's easy to go to classes and only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get to class. Living in the dorms first semester wasn't as bad as some say. The food was decent. However, it was not the place to get studying done. Major partying school. Most of my classes were fairly easy except the 2 that didn't speak a word of English! Central is more known for as a party school than for its academics. Also, Mt. Pleasant probably has to be the absolute worst town. I think almost everyone living here can agree to that. There is nothing to do but party. Some of the classes are absolutely pointless and easy yet others were challenging and helped prepare me. The people here are friendly and it is so easy to meet people and make friends. Unfortunately I will be transferring next semester to Oakland University to continue my education, however, I will miss CMU. Campus Maintenance: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question?
