John from Southfield, MI
Your going to be spending thousands of dollars so why not get your money worth and get those good grades so you can get your desired degree.
DeAujejuan from Westland, MI
As far as money goes, Eastern is a good choice. The tuition is lower than a lot of other options and with commuting, it is even cheaper. The university also puts out ample opportunities for scholarships.
Madeline from Saline, MI
With a variety of academic, athletics, and merit-based scholarships and grants available, Eastern Michigan can be an affordable option for many. Graduate assistantships can also make earning an advanced degree very cost-effective. Ohio residence share in-state tuition rates with Michigan residents which is an added perk!
Stephanie from Toledo, OH
At EMU you get to experience being a part of a division 1 school that isn't very expensive.
Mr Spearman
Eastern is the only college in the state of MI that has their price of tuition increase lower than everyone else. The dorms are nice, the food is good, and the teaching is excellent.
Tyler from Osseo, MI
One of the cheapest Universities that I looked into and it is one of the best experiences I have ever had. Plus financial aid has paid for all of my schooling with the exception of aviation costs (which is a very expensive major to get into).
Zachariah from Bloomville, OH
yes, EMU is expensive but the financial aid office helps you get your financial aid ready and applying for scholarships. EMU also offers many services to help you, including a career center which helps you with choosing a career later helping you apply for scholarships.
