EMU Enrollment Is Up

Michael Belanger, a senior, chose Eastern Michigan University because of cost. He thinks that the cost is affordable and that Financial Aid is helpful. He thinks that enrollment is up due to the economy. “People are going back to school to get an education because of the jobs,” says Michael.
