University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Top Questions

Michigan is an amazing school to go to, Ann Arbor is beautiful, and the people here are so different and interesting. I love how there is a lot of out-of-state students that go to Michigan, because you meet so many new people and learn so much about them. One of the best things about Michigan is the arb, it is a huge nature jungle and my favorite to go running in. Overall, the campus is beautiful and the people are funky, I love it here.

There's a lot to do. I would make the administration care about the students more and not worry about things that aren't important or illegal and wrong (aka affirmative action)

Great place, lots of fun, you can find any kind of community or group of friends you are looking for.

I got an internship and took a semester off to work down in Louisiana. So now I have to go to school for one more semester than most of my classmates. I am sad that everyone will be leaving and I will be here in the fall. But I will be busy with class and I'm sure I will find things to do: Ann Arbor always has some activity to offer like a concert or a basketball game. I think this is an excellent school, very intelligent and intellectual people come here, and the diversity is amazing, this university really prepares you for life, especially with the challenging courses, though sometimes it's hard when you realize that all you are doing is competing for the better grade in all of our classes compared to your peers. The Michigan spirit is everywhere though, and even the alumni are really close to the university.

Michigan is more than a University. It's an experience. The people you meet, the things you learn, the opportunities you are afforded-all these things will stay with you for the rest of your life. You'll have award winning professors, you'll have All-American and Olympic athletes sitting next to you in class, and you'll see celebrities and politicians walking around campus. Our alumni network is the largest in the world. As a result you'll find doors opening for you that you never thought possible because you went/go to Michigan. When you come to Michigan you join a family and that family will be with you for the rest of your life if/when you ever need anything.

Nice mix of work-hard, play-hard. Academics are taken seriously,but a very enjoyable social life available as well.

The best thing about Michigan is how much there is to do. It can be a huge school, and you can be anonymous, or you can participate in a small living/learning community and make it really small and everyone in your community will know your name. Also, Ann Arbor has all of the benefits of a small-town atmosphere with the amenities of a bigger city, like places to shop and eat and walk around and a great public transit system.

Size is good. In state people thing umich overrated, out of state are impressed. Ann Arbor is a great town!

I absolutely love this school. It is a huge school, but I like that it is so big. When I tell people I go to Michigan they are impressed. I spend a lot of time walking around the Ann Arbor liberal streets. People stress the diversity at Michigan, however most stereotypes stay together. There is not much blending of cultures here.
