Zak
My classmates are challenging.
Natalie
All of the students that I have gotten to know are extremely bright and enthusiastic about their interests of study. I also find that they are all very friendly, and often help each other out. These students are not competitive, and it creates a positive learning environment.
Patrick
The students come from a variety of backgrounds, but despite the commitment to diversity that the university holds dear, many need to listen to the voices of those students still fighting strongly to have their stories and experiences taken into account.
Paige
Your classmates will be very driven and competitive people that will sit and study with people they already know from social groups.
Sherry
Highly driven and dedicated individuals who are committed to giving everything they have to give and more to come together to form a supportive and challenging environment and create amazing things.
Karl
UM is full of bright and motivated students who will help you push yourself further than you thought possible.
Kyra
They are intelligent and motivated, with clear goals and strong passions.
Kyle
A mix of people, lacking racial diversity, who geuninely want to be in class, people who want to look "cool" by joking around, and people whose affluent parents just decided to send them here.
Aaron
I am among the world's brightest and best students, and the integrity among my fellow classmates provides a focused and enjoyable atmosphere enabling each and every student to achieve their full potential.

There is a vast array of students from many backgrounds here at Michigan. Pretty much everyone finds something to make them feel welcome here, and the student body is not very judgmental at all. I cannot think of someone who would feel out-of-place here, however very introverted people and those who handle crowds may possibly have trouble. You definitely have to compete a little to be social, as everyone is always busy all of the time. I have been in contact and made friends with people of all kinds of backgrounds (different races, religions, sexual orientations, etc) and there are support groups for people of all different backgrounds. Most people are a little wealthier in background, especially out of state students, but they do not typically flaunt wealth. The school is very liberal, especially compared to the surrounding area, and political activism will be shoved in your face on more than one occasion. Everyone generally gets along though, and people generally accept each other.
