Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Art & Design Department  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I chose Eastern Michigan University because of the fact they gave me a tremendous scholarship and my family is pretty tight with money. I'm from out of state and I didn't know anyone else going here and I thought that would be a good thing, boy was I wrong. Majority of the students are from the surrounding area and often commute, leaving the campus empty on the weekends. Also, a lot of them know others before they even come to the school so friendships are already established- making it harder for other people who don't know anyone to make friends. Many of the students who do live on campus often skip class and get drunk on weeknights. Overall, the campus is very unsafe. I often feel very uncomfortable walking around campus at night because there is basically no one else around. The college itself says its pretty safe but I find that to be a joke. They have an escort service... but it only goes until 1am!? If i was at a party and felt uncomfortable the escort service wouldn't even be available! It is not lively like a typical college campus would be. Ypsilanti is a joke when it comes to a college town, with about 2 restaurants and a Jimmy Johns. There is nothing to do besides going to an unsafe party, no movie theaters, no bowling alleys, or anything of the sort. Everywhere else you have to travel by car. The dorms are horrible, atleast in the First Year Center. The stairways are often littered with trash. The rooms themselves are very small, a 12ft by 12ft space with no airconditioning and little heat. People are often very loud at night keeping you awake. The classes are somewhat decent- yet it has the feel more of a community college than university. My math class we are currently learning percentages and slope... stuff I learned in 7th grade. It is often a mishmash of classes, some incredibly easy but others if you miss one class you will feel so far behind. Also, the teachers often like to talk about themselves more than actually teaching, often saying how they are "professionals" in their field. I am happy to say that I am leaving Eastern Michigan at the end of the semester to go to a real university to get an amazing education, even if I do have to take out student loans.

Some advice for high school students looking for a school and young adults as myself (20-21) who decided to take a few years off before going to school. Make sure you fully understand what school you are going to first, This school does not offer anything i'm interested in, that is partially my fault, but as well theirs. They agreed to everything i was interested in, like they offered majors that where helpful. I can say this is not an engineering school by any means now. My problem is the PASS program, if you are eligible for this program and do not wanna feel like you are in high school DO NOT SIGN THE PAPER! You will be making an agreement you will not be able to uphold. If you like weekly meetings with a "PASS Coach" who happens to only be a few years older then you and a student themselves, and to have the limitations of failing one class and your done (and the $18,000 you just spent gone) then go for it. Their learning beyond the classroom requirements are bullshit, and if you don't do them, guess what; you fail the class, thus wasting $18,000, even if you had A's in all your classes. I'm in a semi-decent dorm room. I say this because it was just remodeled two years ago, yet it looks like 6th graders painted, everything truly is still old. And you can't even ask for a light bulb when your bathroom one goes out(you have to put in work orders and wait till they have time). Just so i'm not scaring anyone away from this school, it's just my opinion and shouldn't be taken just as what i'm typing, make sure you understand any school you are going to. After i arrived i realized i spent $18,000 for 12 credit hours, at my community college, i took more advanced classes and had 12 credit hours, the price was $1,200. If your just looking to get out of the town you are in, and thus picking a university because of it, don't do it. If anyone has the option to go to a community college, take it. You'll be surprised how many people spend $80,000 on a college major and end up with a low paying job if any when they get out. at least take the first two years to save half of that, and stay ahead of the money game every school plays.

Some students graduate with out knowing how to set up their computer on the internet. The graduate program is a farce as I know several people who were unemployable after completing it. It looks like a school that is interested in grant money and students are the source of it. Scholastic Success: B, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
