Freshman: The University of Michigan-Dearborn is a great school to start at if you are unsure about your career path. Not only is it affordable, but it offers students a large range of majors and minors. The only downside is that the University of Michigan-Dearborn is a large commuter school, which may make it harder for someone to build connections and friendships. Nevertheless, the University of Michigan-Dearborn is a great place to attend college!... Read 1,297 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

Alum: WCC is the best and most affordable college in the state of Michigan. Their programs are wide-ranging and extremely advanced, especially compared to other colleges. Very few colleges in the US the same amount effort into taking care of their students like at WCC. The resources they offer students are wide-ranging and easily accessible. The professors are usually extremely prefessional and highly experienced in their field of study. Of course there are teachers who are not, but the majority of teachers are good at their jobs. The in-person, virtual, and blended courses are somewhat lenient with due dates and missed tests; however, the online classes with no ZOOM component are brutal. There is basically zero interaction with the teachers except through email or the notes they leave on your graded assignments. If you're having a hard time or are falling behind the teacher isn't going to do much. Overall, WCC is a wonderful school with plenty of resources for students of all backgrounds....

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

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 3,319 reviews

Sophomore: As a current student-athlete of Rochester University, I am loving my experience at this institution. Growing up in a small Christian school for 5 years of my life, Rochester University feels very familiar to me in terms of the size and dynamic of the school. I love how small it is, yet how great of a profile it has. Being able to play sports for this school also makes my experience even better. The facilities are nice and clean, there's a beautiful park in the backyard of the school, and the teachers and students here are so wonderful. The small class sizes creates a more personal connection with my professors and it makes me feel like I am getting much more out of my college experience. So far, I love the school I chose to attend!... Read 294 reviews

Junior: I appreciate the diverse and inclusive environment. I find the faculty to be supportive and committed to student success. The college is known for offering a range of academic programs, from transferable courses to vocational training. Additionally, students often highlight the various extracurricular activities and resources available, such as the Henry Ford Library, which contributes to a well-rounded educational experience. Of course, individual experiences can vary, but many students value their time at Henry Ford College positively. However, the downside is the early closure of the cafeteria and the absence of good coffee at Henry Ford College. Limited dining options and insufficient access to quality beverages can indeed impact the overall student experience.... Read 697 reviews
