Senior: This is a fabulous choice school for someone looking to truly have the social and academic life balance, such as I am. This environment is more than suitable even for those who are dedicated wholeheartedly either side of that social-academic spectrum- though the opportunities for growth and exploration in each regard are something I refuse to believe can be found on any other campus. The professors are renowned in their respective fields, if not the world, and are advisable, inspiring, generous (most of the time), and constructors of some of the most effective and informative curriculums I can imagine. What is most imperative to emphasize is that exponential emotional, academic, and professional development occurs for every person. If you have faced adversity in the past or are entering college first-gen like me, attending UM will open your eyes, open doors, and change your life past in the best way while you overcome challenges you never thought you could. But it's definitely hard!... Read 4,620 reviews

Junior: I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Wayne State thus far. Not only is there plenty to explore and experience, the city life, the diversity, and opportunities are what makes it worthwhile! The diversity among the student body is enriching in that as an individual, you're able to meet others and collaborate to gain new perspectives. Being in the heart of Detroit, Wayne State is surrounded by all kinds of activities, events, concerts, and more. One thing that I have thoroughly enjoyed during my time at Wayne State were all the different music venues around the city, offering every type of music you can think of! You can find it all downtown. Growing up in the Metro Detroit area, I was familiar with the area before I finally transferred to Wayne. If there was anything I could change, it might be to add more food options on campus and to possibly add more "hang-out" type areas outdoors/interactive seating. Seeing more art around campus would be pretty neat, too.... Read 2,939 reviews

Sophomore: The Concordia University of Ann Arbor was a great first-year experience, while some of the facilities lack, nothing really is wrong with the education. Every teacher has a similar goal and message to share and are all on the common goal to further the students' university education to another level. Class sizes are small which is optimal for learning and having personal relations with the professor, I am in the Exercise Science undergraduate program at the university and have nothing but pros to say about the professors in the line of Health and Profession classes. Being a smaller school is obviously gonna result in smaller funds for sports programs, the gym is small, but we have unreal track, and football facilities.... Read 217 reviews

Sophomore: My overall experience is great! Oakland has a really nice campus and all of my teachers/classes so far have been good. It's a big change to move from high school senior to college freshman. The teachers at OU were super welcoming as a freshman and I was able to understand how different education there was. The University makes it very clear that there's lots of ways to get support for many different things. There is academic advising, tutoring, social clubs or groups, and also fun activities that pop up to encourage socializing. The buildings are also incredibly nice. The ones that I got to see so far were fantastic. They all had nice and spacious furniture, many floors, and things such as chain food stores, accessible printers, elevators, etc. I look forward to exploring different parts and meeting new teachers each passing year....

Freshman: I am a freshman at Eastern Michigan University, I enjoyed my first semester a lot. The beautiful campus of Eastern provides many events and clubs to join, there is never a dull moment! The library is a great place to study either alone in quiet areas or even with a group of friends. There is a variety of food choices around the campus such as going to Starbucks in the student center for a quick coffee to eating at a sushi bar in the same student center. The curriculum Eastern offers is diverse there are many different classes, online/hybrid/in-person that have great professors. Overall Eastern Michigan University has a great community, with study locations, ongoing events, and a diverse curriculum.... Read 3,321 reviews

Junior: I am so glad I enrolled in early college at Macomb Community College. I couldn’t have asked for a better college experience! There are so many aspects of Macomb that you don’t get at a lot of other colleges. In my experience all of the professors here really take interest in helping you learn the material, making sure you understand, and are doing well in the class. It’s such a nice environment on campus, everyone is friendly and you meet great people with similar interests in your classes. Another thing I love is that the professors encourage you to get to know your classmates. I really don’t know how I would have passed some of my classes if I didn’t have people to talk to, work, and study with. Macomb is such a great school and is a smart move to get some of your credits for less money than it would cost at a 4 year University!... Read 970 reviews

Sophomore: My experience at WCC has been great so far. I enrolled in the college's human services program and found it to be one of the most well-rounded programs I have ever encountered. The program's practical experiences helped me acquire valuable skills for my future career. What I liked most about WCC is its diverse and inclusive community. The college welcomes students from all ethnicities, races, religions, and sexual orientations, creating a welcoming and accepting environment. WCC also has several student-led organizations and clubs that reflect the diverse interests and hobbies of its students, enabling them to engage with one another outside of class, including my favorite the gaming club. my experience at WCC has been amazing, and I would recommend this college to anyone looking for a comprehensive education. I appreciate the diverse and inclusive community, the excellent culinary arts program, and the friendly and approachable instructors. Not going to WCC would be your loss!... Read 591 reviews

Sophomore: I love the professors at Schoolcraft College. They are helpful, understanding, and teach very well. The campus is small but beautiful. The classes aren't super big which is good for people with anxiety, like me. I have got close with plenty of professors and still visit them to this day. The people that go to Schoolcraft are also very sweet and quiet. I have made some really great friends at Schoolcraft that I will have forever. I have made many amazing memories that I will always remember as well. Schoolcraft College and all the memories/friends I have gained will never be forgotten!... Read 734 reviews

Senior: At Madonna University, I had the ability to transfer 3 years of classes from a community college. The faculty at the school made the transition seamless. The advisors and financial aid office help answer whatever questions you have and make sure you are headed down the right path. As most universities, Madonna may seem expensive. The only problem I've had is that the school has limited scholarships that you can be available for. If I could change one thing, that's the only thing I would fix. Overall, I'm excited to say I get to graduate from Madonna!... Read 530 reviews

Niche User: My sister went through the program and absolutely loved it! I have gone to some of the elective classes, and they were very educational. The atmosphere at Irene's is unlike any other school I've been to. The people are very positive, and willing to answer any question you might have. If they don't know the answer they will help track it down for you. Such a wonderful place!... Read 7 reviews
