Location

Eastern Michigan University is located in Ypsilanti,MI, a community of approximately 50,000 people. Although Ypsilanti is close to the cultural advantages of Detroit (30 miles away), and Ann Arbor (7 miles away), it is largely surrounded by farmland and open countryside. Nearby opportunities for outdoor recreation, such as boating, fishing, hunting, and skiing, are plentiful.
