It's difficult to complete the university required classes, pre-med/mcat required classes, my major requirements and my minor requirements all in 4 years.

Off campus housing in Ann Arbor can be very expensive.

A frustrating part about school here is when you end up with a professor who is not interested in teaching his undergrad class, but is required to do so anyway so he can stay here to do research. These classes are frustrating because the proffessor does not do a good job of teaching because he is not interested, meaning it is difficult to do well in the class, and also I do not learn all of the things I should from it, making future courses difficult as well.

It's very hard to meet people because most people join Greek life, hang out with their high school friends, or hang out with people they know through family connections (for example, a lot of the Jewish students only hang out with other Jewish students). It's also difficult to get a research job in the sciences because everyone wants one.

One of the most frustrating things about the University of Michigan is the way certain classes are graded. To account for the many students attending the university, there are Graduate Student Instructors (GSIs) that teach some classes that are in high demand. Often, different GSIs have different ways of teaching and grading their students. Although the faculty tries to equalize this, sometimes it feels as if your performance in the class is wholly dependent on how the GSI thinks you understood the material.

The school is so big and research focused many professors don't put a lot of time into their intro classes. The advising was good but I wish someone had helped me plan out all my required courses for my major my first year (I knew my major going into college). I ended up taking a bunch of hard classes early on and having no requirements senior year. I also wish they kept a list of class recommendations handy for freshman orientation with reviews of more unique classes.

The most frustrating thing about Michigan is that I live on North Campus and have to take the bus to class every day. However, even though the bus serves as an inconvenience to me in the morning, North Campus is great. A large majority of the people living on North are freshmen, so it is not intimidating at all to meet new friends. I was told by many people that North Campus is the worst place to live, but, if I could start over, I think I would choose to live on North Campus.

The most frustrating thing about U of M is that there is no near by movie theater where students can relax and watch a film. Some nights I would love to enjoy a good movie with my friends instead of staying in or going to a party.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Michigan in trying to fit everything you want into your schedule. There are so many options in classes and majors it is hard to decide on which one will benefit you most in the long-run.

The school is very large, so it's difficult to find the people you need when you need help.
