The University of Michigan offers both the academic rigor and prestige of private or ivy league schools AND the fun of a big 10 school with excellent and historically successful sports teams.

U of M offers a wealth of knowledge and resources at a much lower price and in a much more engaging environment than many other universities which seem removed from the surrounding areas.

The school is very academically elite, and offers a unique variety of majors/areas of study. Tons of resources for students-events, lectures, etc

This school has a lot of school spirit and most people are very proud to go here or have graduated from here. I liked that it had a defined campus because a lot of the schools I applied to were in cities. However, the tour did not give me a realistic impression of the school.

The University of Michigan - Ann Arbor has been my dream school my entire life. I was raised under the simple principle that nothing is impossible; thus, no other school was considered. With the benefit of hindsight, I realize how risky this move was, however I am confident that no in-state school could have provided me the opportunity to escape the wrath of the poverty-stricken class I was raised in. On the other hand, no other out-of-state school could have provided the comfort and assurance of a home and family.

What is unique about the University of Michigan is that it is located in the bustling, friendly, and homely city of Ann Arbor. This makes the University literally a part of the city which I find fascinating. Additionally, my particular program, the Residential College (RC) is a smaller community that encourages learning a language. While the smaller and discussion packed classes allow me to gain confidence in speaking and cultivating broader ideas, the emphasis in language supports a growing respect and knowledge of other cultures that I believe is necessary for all newer generation students.

The staff at the University of Michigan is world-renowned. They are leading researchers in all their fields, providing the world with ground-breaking data and scientific and medical breakthroughs. It's impossible for other institutions to compete because of Michigan's plethora of scientific resources and inovations. The University of Michigan simply can't be beaten.

It kind of has such a wide identity, being a well-known sports school, politically-minded/activist area, research-focused academics, environmental hub, it tries to pride itself on diversity, but has a ways to go.
