University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Top Questions

That all of the girls have a sense of entitlement and only care about guys in popular fraternities, and the guys are in those fraternities are all guidos.

Michigan students are on two spectrums. They are either the hippy-Ann Arbor type or the over-privledged out of stater. There is a distinct line between these two groups. The Ann Arbor hippies wander around Ann Arbor, smoking pot, without a care. The out of staters infiltrate the Greek system and the bar scene- which is immensely underage. There people overwhelm the city with their obnoxious displays of wealth and most of all overwhelm the usually humble Ann Arbor atmosphere.

That all of the girls are ugly. That we are all high achieving snobs. That it is a completely secular campus and you cannot find any religious groups

Everyone associates Michigan with football and assumes that students who apply to the university are already diehard Wolverines. Also, people label Michigan as the school for Ivy League rejects.

I had heard that Michigan was full of pretentious, rich elitists. Some people told me the city was uber liberal while others said it was all "yuppies." The academic programs are supposedly among the best in the country, and the football team is infamous. Several of my high school peers declined to apply here for the reason that they perceived it as "too big".
