The atmoshpere and tradition associated with the University of Michigan. It creates a feeling of inclusion with all others who have attended and will attend the University. It feels as though the entire school is united under the Michigan Difference

Career placement - There is a very strong alumni network that is both large and attached to their alma mater. Therefore, they are eager to assist current students in finding jobs. The Ross School of Business is the top business school in the country and the students often come out with very well paid starting jobs. In any city in this country, one can find a Michigan alumni who wants to help out their fellow wolverine. It is truly a strong sense of school spirit that lasts forever.

There are a lot of career fairs so everyone has a chance to see what's out there in the real world. Also, it is a very academically competitive environment so it encourages a lot of people to work hard.

Stepping into the Big House and feeling the roar of the croud, the excitement and the anxious pause, preternatural quiet before every hike: these are the things I remember most about my time at th University of Michigan. Waking up and seeing thousands of students pour into the streets in yellow and blue, the smell of hotdogs and music blasting from every house, the flying ping-pong balls and drinking games, that feeling of being united behind a single cause for a single morning before returning to books and computer screens the following Sunday. And the afternoon naps.

The best thing about this school is it's school spirit and pride. Everyone here is proud to be a part of the wolverine experience. It is an absolute honor to be a student here.

There are so many good things at UM that I don't know which to choose. The quality of the education you receive and the fact that your professors are some of the best on their respective fields is definitely one of the best things. There are other schools that are just as good academically, but what sets Michigan apart is its diversity. It is a huge school, and the opportunities to be active and help in the community, or do any other kind of extracurricular activity, are endless. Go Blue!

The University does a very good job in providing events where students don't have to resort to alchohol to have phone in their free time. There are late night parties run by students funded by the school on Friday nights. The dorms have many group events in which you can participate and get to know the people on your floor or in your building. University-run buses that transports students so there is no need for a car and the city run buses are free to the students due to a contract that the school has with them.

The students and faculty make the University of Michigan great!

The mix of a serious academic institution and a relaxed college atmosphere is what makes Michigan special to me
