They are both athletic and studious - they like sports but also care about school. They are really friendly - your friend's friends become your friends, it has a great midwestern social scene vibe.

As a high school student in Michigan I never realized how popular U of M was around the country. I was worried college here was going to be just like high school with all of the same people.

Alex

Michigan is known to be really large, to have great school spirit, and intelligent students. The out of state kids are known to be snobby and rich, while the in-state kids are less intelligent. Also, socially it has a bar scene and freshman and sophomore years are dominated by the Greek system.

David

That we smoke pot all the time

The people that go to Michigan are all nerds, completely obsessed with school work and the library. They never go out and have fun. The girls are all ugly, and the guys have to go to Michigan State to date.

Kendall

Smart, Not Good Looking, Don't Party as hard as Michigan State, Arrogant, Over Achieving.

They are stuck up and full of themselves. A lot of my friends from high school decided to go to Michigan State and when they come to visit they say we are not heavy partiers in comparisons. Also some people say everyone who goes here is rich.

I don't think I would be able to say all the stereotypes about people at Michigan because there are so many different types of people here. I would not be able to categorize the people here by fitting them into a category of a stereotype.

Rebecca

Amy

A lot of people say that everyone is rich and stuck up; that students only care about school and the campus isn't any fun.

michigan students don't know how to party, they study all the time

Aliza

Coming from Long Island, a very popular Michigan area, I had heard many stereotypes upon applying, mostly that the jappiest/worst of the New York tri-state area tend to flock there. Also, I knew Michigan as being a huge greek-life school, which caused me to be hesitant as well. Michigan is known for being a large school, but a great one academically, and of course a football-frenzy campus!

A common misconception is that everyone is Asian and dweeby, no offense to Asians but it sucks to be called a dweeb. People think we are poin desters, but we are also relatively down to party. Our party is chiller than yourpregrame!
