Name: Central Michigan University
Location: Mount Pleasant, Michigan
I’m bad at geography, where’s Mount Pleasant? It’s in central Michigan.
Ha ha, very funny. I mean, it is pretty right there in the middle part of the Mitten section of Michigan. It’s in the northern half of the lower peninsula, if that helps. North of pretty much every city in Michigan that a non-native has ever heard of, I’d imagine, with the possible exception of Traverse City.
Founded: 1892, as Central Michigan Normal School and Business Institute.
