Very sad. :(

On a side note, I can't read EMU and think of anything other than Steely Dan.

I don't know yet.. have not talked to my relative yet.

if you read thru her twitter it looks like she has two roommates. There are pictures of them.
 
I have just read a ton of the reviews... most of them mention how "thin" the walls are and that you can hear everything... so hopefully someone heard something
 
What a terrible tragedy. Was this woman a victim of random violence, or was this crime committed by someone she knew? Praying for answers.
 
I just looked through her Instagram. She seems like such a warm, fun, happy girl. What a tragedy :(
 
EMU community mourns

EMU professor Megan Gore said Niswender was one of her "favorite" students. Niswender was studying communications at EMU. She's a 2008 graduate of Monroe High School and attended Monroe Community College.

"She was passionate about her studies in electronic media," Gore said. "She strove to do her best no matter what the assignment was. Several weeks ago she took a trip to New York with our electronic media program and was so excited to share with me her experiences."

Gore said Niswender often shared her career aspirations.

"She always had a smile on her face and loved to laugh in class, making the classroom environment very special for everyone," Gore said. "I am devastated by her loss as I know her classmates are as well."

EMU student Adrienne Ayers was in an audio production class with Niswender that was taught by Gore.

“We worked together on an audio project for class and she was in my group,” Ayers said. “Every time I came to class Julia was always happy and she was always nice to me. She was funny and always made me laugh. Her personality was the kind that would make you want to be friends with her.”I never saw Julia upset or anything and she was a true sweetheart."

Reading the comments on these articles... people sure are rabid about their schools in MI! I am not from the area, but from what I gather, this complex housed many EMU students, and was nice- but had some questionable neighborhoods surrounding it. Is that an accurate assessment?
 
I feel so sad for Julia's family. This must be especially difficult for her twin sister.
 
Eastern Michigan University officials will hold a campus safety forum at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Center Auditorium after the death of Julia Niswender Tuesday.

EMU spokesman Walter Kraft said the meeting is another part of the university’s efforts to keep the community up to date on Niswender’s death. The Ypsilanti Police Department said Niswender was found dead of an apparent homicide in her Peninsular Place apartment Tuesday night.

Kraft emphasized the university would only be able to release information approved by Ypsilanti police investigators. University officials have set up a dedicated web page to provide updates on Niswender's death.

EMU Police Chief Bob Heighes and university President Susan Martin are expected to address the community at the forum. Kraft said they will be going over safety tips for students and other university community members to make sure everyone takes proper precautions.

“This is an important reminder at a time like this that there are things students and faculty members can do to protect themselves,” he said.

The public statements from the university and meeting with students are a marked contrast from the way the university handled an investigation into the death of student Laura Dickinson almost exactly six years ago.
