"When I first arrived in Mt. Pleasant I was worried that I would struggle to find a community that felt like my own. I could not have been more wrong. Downtown Mt. Pleasant is one of my favorite places to spend time. Whether it is studying at one of the many coffee shops, browsing at Sleepy Dog Books, lunch at Dog Central, or even just walking around, there truly is something for everyone. The people are so welcoming and Mt. Pleasant really is my second home!
— Julia, CMU Admissions Ambassador

"When I first stepped foot on CMU's campus, I knew it was right for me; it just felt like home. I was also able to get super involved on and off campus right away! Mount Pleasant is a college town through and through, which is a feeling I really like. You can be pretty much anywhere in Mount Pleasant and run into someone you know, which makes the community feel so much stronger and more tightly knit."
—Jackie, CMU Admissions Ambassador
