My experience at Michigan was outstanding. The campus is beautiful and surrounded by the City of Ann Arbor which has so much to offer. The academic experience is second to none and my professors were engaging and dynamic. The level of arts, culture, food, diversity, sports, etc. is truly amazing considering the size of Ann Arbor. The alumni network is huge and offers great support and benefits long after you leave the Diag. Michigan is truly a family, Go Blue!
Review University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
Michigan is a great school overall. Post graduation, the school name carries a lot of weight when it comes to finding a job. Make sure you get a plethora of experiences-study abroad, school sponsored internships, take courses outside of your major, etcetera. If there's any idea for a student org or business or start up you have- use those resources! They are there. There's so much you get that's paid for in your tuition. Take advantage of it.
The University of Michigan - Ann Arbor is an excellent school all around. Although rather expensive, the campus is a beautiful, energetic environment with abundant resources and study spaces. The classes offer just the right amount of a challenge, and the professors are wonderful. It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
