University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Top Questions

Uh, I dn? Relative to what? It's a vast population and a top public university, meaning that by definition there is a varied collection of people who, while generally smart to some degree, have vastly different interests. To that extent, I will say that there really isn't much hindrance when it comes to pursuing whatever you want, either in school or without. If you want to do it, the size of the school is such that there will be at least a few others that want to do it and probably already are. I mean there's a friggin club for the terrifyingly huge squirrels that some mistake for "cute," when they should be described as "fearless bushy tailed rats."

The biggest stereotype about michigan is that we have the ugliest girls in all of the big ten. And I will stand up tall and tell you RIGHT NOW that stereotype is...true. These girls might have had a higher GPA in high school than there best friends partying at University of Iowa, and it shows. When traveling the big ten no one has girls that are as nasty as those at Michigan.

While there are specific stereotypes regarding certain schools and organizations within UM (i.e. engineering, RC, fraternities/sororities), the school itself is far too diverse to have an all encompassing stereotype...except maybe that we are smart and work a lot, and really like football.

Michigan students are stereotypically rich, elitist, nerdy, or egocentric.

Michigan is the best big ten school. it has the perfect balance of education and partying. the students party very hard. the campus is very diverse. it is essential to live on the hill and your life will be miserable if you live on north campus.

Some people say that its not as big of a party school as Michigan State, and that all anyone does is study.
