The best thing about U of M are the number of connections you are able to make and the opportunities you are given. One thing I would change is having two campuses. I am not in art/design or engineering, but I have housing on North Campus. The bus can be a pain (ESPECIALLY ON WEEKENDS). When I tell people I go to U of M, they say, "Wow, that's a hard school to get into." I spend most of my time on campus either in my dorm or in the library on North Campus. My dorm is very quiet and I can...

Starting answering!I absolutely love the University of Michigan! All of the students are extremely smart, but also open-minded and easy to get along with. Ann Arbor is a beautiful town, and there is always something to do on or around campus. The hundreds of student organisations offer the chance for you to be involved in anything you have an interest in, whether or not it is related to your field of study! Michigan Football is one of the greatest traditions I have ever been a part of - the...

This school is awesome. Greek Life makes it way better, as the social scene is the only one on campus.The best thing about this school, are the academics and sports. We have the winning football team in College Football history, the biggest football stadium in the world and possibly best venue in the United States seating over 110,000 fans per game, we are one of the top academic institutions in the country, and our football Saturday pregames and tailgates are top-notch. Don't believe me? Come...

I love it here. This university has one of the greatest educational opportunities, with many resources available for students to learn and engage in the Michigan community. The downtown vibe with the combination of the academic buildings is a perfect mix. People are always impressed when I say I am a student from the university of Michigan. There is also a lot of school pride in football. The influx of maize and blue during football days is quite a sight to see.

While I love Michigan, there are times when I do complain about the school being too large. When you're fighting for a study spot in the library around finals, you definitely wonder about how you would not have nearly this much of a hard time if you attended a smaller university (and not one where you feel like one among 25,000). Also if you're not much of a go-getter, then you might have a hard time in the large classes because professors cannot simply worry about every individual students'...

On multiple occasions I have said to friends that if I had the opportunity to go anywhere in the world, it would still be Michigan. It is, and I can say this having heard of friends' experiences at other universities, the most comprehensive college experience that you can find. That is to say that nowhere else can you wake up, go to a party, sit in a stadium with 113,000+ people wearing the same colors, get some great food on your walk home, then go for a walk in our nature preserve, go to the...

I think this school has the best combination of good academics with a good social aspect. (Football) Saturday mornings are my favorite night of the week! There is so much school spirit, and it's especially visible during football season. I'll never forget my first Michigan football game. Everyone in the Big House was wearing maize - it was overwhelming! Because I had a graduating class of over 700, I wanted to go to a large university. I love the fact that I'm always able to meet new...

1. The best thing about Umich is its endless resources available to student; it also has the largest alum network in the nation. 2.The campus is very large and spread out; I would develop an underground walkway system connecting the university so that students don't have to walk across campus in negative degrees Fahrenheit temperature. 3. The school is extremely large but it is not "too large." 4. People are generally impressed when I tell them I attend Umich; it is often regarded as the...

The coolest thing about Michigan is the school pride, by far. There is just an energy surrounding this campus and its fun to be a part of. This extends from football Saturdays to off campus presentation of the University. You will always remember your first time (and last time) piled into the big house with 112,000+ other Michigan fans. I know I do. Best things about Michigan: the passion and diversity of the student body. One thing I'd change: the dominance fraternity life has on the...
