Central Michigan University Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
Central Michigan University (also known as CMU) is a coeducational state university located in Mount Pleasant in the U.S. state of Michigan. Central Michigan University is home to 20 on-campus residence halls, arranged in four districts throughout the campus. In 2006, the 21st and 22nd residence halls on campus opened in what was currently the East complex. All residence halls except for the Towers, Barnes Hall, and Robinson Hall are two-bedroom suites designed for 4 or 5 persons. The Original Towers, nine-story high-rise residence halls designed primarily for freshmen, feature one-bedroom suites. Robinson Hall and the old section of Barnes are the only residence halls designed for double occupancy. Only Barnes Hall, the oldest residence hall at CMU, is not directly connected to a residential restaurant. The older section of Barnes Hall is also the only part of any residence hall on campus that has community bathrooms. Some residence halls are designated as official Residential Colleges, associated with a particular academic department, allowing students who choose to live there opportunities for study and collaboration with other students from similar programs. Barnes Hall is also the traditional home of many of CMU’s international students because it is the only hall that remains open during university breaks. CMU offers both co-ed and single-gender residence halls. Beddow and Sweeney Halls are for females only, Merrill and Thorpe Halls for males only. Since the Fall 2005 semester, Calkins Hall, home of the Education residential college, is co-educational, after a long history of being females only. Starting in the fall of 2007, Beddow and Thorpe Halls will become co-ed due to a decline in students requesting to live in single-gender residence halls. On December 1, 2005, one of the buildings was named The Ben and Marion Celani Residence hall to recognize the generosity of Detroit area businessman Thomas Celani and his wife Vicki. On April 20, 2006, the remaining building was named the Fabiano Family Residence Hall, recognizing their contribution to the school. These two new halls opened for the fall semester of 2006, along with a new dining commons to serve the residents of the six East Area halls.
