Please,
understand that if you are from a “major” city that
is not in the Midwest, you probably will not like
it here. Students are very close-minded and come off
as not knowing much, so they are very ignorant.
Everyone expects you to either drink or smoke, so if
that is not what you do, you are the minority.
That is what most people do here, so they
do not have lives outside of that. Sad, isn't
it? I would say 85% of the student body is
judgmental and do not know how to converse with different
people. Uniqueness and non-conformity is not valued here.
Next, I will discuss the campus food. The food
is extremely tasteless and does not cater to people who
do not eat fries and burgers all damn day.
The online menus tell you what will be served for
the entire month. Do not be surprised if it
is the same thing listed every single day for breakfast
and lunch. Yes, those menus are very redundant.
Next,
I will discuss the dorms. The low-quality antique dorms
are not air-conditioned. That's just a heads up for
people who like central air conditioning. Stay in the
newer dorms if you have the money. I did.
The Mount Pleasant atmosphere is extremely lackluster and dead.
Townspeople resemble zombies and come off very weird.
Most of the people here act funny and you should
think twice about starting conversations with complete strangers. People
from here tend to look up to those from different
states, so that is a plus because you could probably
teach them a thing or two.
If you do have
the chance, you should attend another university. This university
is not huge on diversity. It has a bunch
of international students from “God knows where” and is predominantly
white with a short number of blacks. There are
some other folks in between, so that is where they'll
stay, in between. You do not want to go
here. It is very boring and I am not
the only one who says this. This town is
just big on football and drinking to the point of
insanity. If you like small college towns, then that's
fine but I would not recommend it.
Also, finding jobs
on campus is hard because they are very picky and
not willing to train. Don't waste your time.
Go to a larger school with better opportunities, because you'll
have a better chance of finding a job. Stop being
cheap and go spend the extra damn money, because you
probably won't regret it 10 years down the line.
This school isn't anything special, so I don't know why
people keep putting it on a pedestal. Oh wait,
I know why. It's because they're all townies and Michigan
folks.
I am telling you the truth, straight-to-the
point, and as blunt as possible because I won't sugarcoat
anything. This is the real deal, so it's not
my fault if it comes off negative. You can
take from it what you want, it's on you.
