College is what you make of it, if you want to have a good time, you will have a good time. Get involved, learn to appreciate the small things, and soon CMU will be your favorite place. You get out what you put in. CMU till I die.

I love every aspect of Central!
Overall 4.8
CMU has really become home for me. By the end of my freshman year, I really didn't want to leave. I felt so loved and welcomed by the school, my on-campus coworkers, my peers, and my professors. It's so sad that I will be graduating soon and leaving. I have considered a master's degree just to stay longer.

Really incompetent professors and staff, nothing else matters. If anyone ever even mentions this place, RUN!

HORRIBLE SCHOOL
Overall 1.6
CMU try's to make adjustments to increase student success at central. But, heavily misses the mark and ends up ignoring student input and implements new policies that end up charging students more a year. Continuously, makes any process from A-B more complicated than it needs to be when trying to accomplish anything. Website also next to useless.
Overall 1.8
A community college experience at university pricing- fire up chips!
Overall 2
Outdated and unclean facilities, poorly lit campus during the evenings, dining halls rarely stocked, and difficult to meet people if you don’t enjoy partying.
Overall 2
Most professors are super chill. I would recommend this school for education majors (you can get out in 4 years instead of 5!) but, the University does not care about students. They only care about admissions, and then forget that students go to the school. Again, do not expect to be respected as a student! "We Do not care about students!"
