I was a linguistics student at EMU ten years ago. I come from an uneducated family and was happy to get into any four-year university. Linguistics had fascinated me for years. EMU supposedly has a good linguistics program. I expected to to be challenged and learn enough to pursue graduate studies at a better school. I was extremely disappointed, so much so that I haven't had the heart to set foot in another college ever again.

First, I read so much linguistics on my own that when I walked into my first class, I realized that I already had a graduate level ability in the subject. Professors do not like being outsmarted.

Second, there are a lot of dumb students at the school who compete with each other for grades. It is not a school for big dreamers.

Third, Ypsilanti is awful, and so is nearby Ann Arbor. Both cities are dangerous although the latter has cleaned up since then.

Fourth, the real world of Metro Detroit is nearby. Enjoy it. There are no nutty professors there and the people are nicer.

I should have trusted my instincts and applied to a real school, like the University of Chicago.

Thank you for your review. It makes me want to go to Chicago, which has a good linguistics program and better students.

I came to this site with the introduction of a friend around me and I was very impressed when I found your writing. I'll come back often after bookmarking! casinocommunity
