I loved Eastern. There are a ton of things going on campus, but being a commuter school, there isn't much of a campus life. I still envied the campus-residence students, as the campus has strong potential for summer fun. The students are also some of the friendliest I've met.
As a science major, resources were ubiquitous :) and located conveniently. Science professors and TAs alike were extremely knowledgable, approachable, and well-meaning, especially those of the chemistry and physics departments. The biology department, however, I found insincere, detached, and ill-supportive.
The campus feels very safe; the campus escort service 'SeeUs' can be easily spotted all across the campus.
I succeeded in securing a job where I could make the most from my degree immediately after graduation, and I felt EMU had strongly prepared me in assuming the role.
EMU supports their students in many ways, and I encourage current and future students to discover EMU!

When it comes to online learning with Eastern Michigan you really can't go wrong. With everything going on right now with COVID and the pandemic all students have been forced to make the switch to online learning. Most colleges don't know what to do in this situation because they have never really perfected the ideal online class structure. The professors are lost and stressed and this gets passed down to the students and it's a huge mess. Eastern Michigan University is unlike these other universities. Why you ask? They mastered the ideal online class structure and they didn't do this over night. Eastern Michigan knows that showing up to class at a set time can be hard for certain students. People work and have families which means that online schooling is a need. Eastern has been testing online learning for several years and over time they have learned what does and doesn't work when it comes to online learning, students, and professors. Also, Eastern's classes are cheap!
Eastern Michigan University's campus is beautiful. It is the perfect mix of historical buildings and newer, modern buildings. It is easy to navigate and the perfect place to enjoy small class sizes and professors who love what they do. From general ed courses to my final major classes every instructor I had loved what they did and represented EMU well! The administration is sometimes harder to work with in terms of communication about university policy's, however, if you are a student with initiative this will not be a major roadblock, just something to keep in mind. I loved EMU so much that I am continuing with my graduate program there now as well!
