Central was forced to close school for the second time this semester, due to an unexpected amount of snow fall.
According to the National Weather Service, a foot of snow was deposited on Lower Michigan overnight.
CMU decided to delay classes until noon, according to the Central hotline and an email sent to faculty and staff.
"I was definitely happy with the delay," said Brooke Helm, an academic advisor in the East Campus Success Center. "Normally I work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and this morning I got to stay home with my daughter for an extra couple of hours."
Not everyone was happy with the delay though.
"I got to campus in time for my 8 a.m. class just to find out that everything was cancelled...for the second time this semester," said Elisha Richards, a Mount Pleasant Junior.
Across town Mid Michigan Community College elected not to cancel classes, even though it is a commuter college.
"I have an 8 a.m. class I had to go to," said Kyle Judge, a Mid student. "It was a little slippery getting there, and most of my classmates didn't make it in."
Fellow Mid student Anita Doneth was one of those who didn't make it to class at all. "I got stuck in my driveway," the Rosebush resident admitted.
