The campus life is academically and socially vibrant, with trendy restaurants and cafes mingling with professors who are at the forefront of their research. The university offers a wide range of classes with many hidden gems like spending nights in the planetarium, looking at the effects of video games on education, or finding answers to resource sustainability. It can be easy to feel lost in such a large student body and campus, so it was important to find clubs and smaller communities early on, of which there is a niche for everyone. As a rising sophomore, the dorm food was amazing. Advisors are really helpful and kind; they do everything to help you plan out your path. But I've heard many times that our mental health services (CAPS) is extremely lacking. Experiences will vary for everyone, but if you are looking for a high-energy campus with a strong mix of academic vigor, some loneliness and depression, low student diversity, brilliant faculty, and big sports/parties, come here!
The University of Michigan has been a pivotal part of my life, starting in June 2010, when I was first enrolled as a student just weeks after graduating high school, to present day 2020, where I currently work at the Ross School of Business as a Front Desk Administrator.
The Top 3 things UofM is widely known for:
1. Academics
2. Football
3. Tailgates/Partying
The University of Michigan has one of the hardest grading scales in the U.S., which makes the academic edge that much more difficult, competitive, you name it. The faculty, however, are top notch in their respective fields, with lots of them having successful private sector careers before transitioning to educators.
UofM Football team is the winningest college football program. Of course we have our up and down seasons, but overall, we are a consistently top ranked program.
Last but not least, the tailgates on football Saturdays are like no other. We are nationally known for our tailgates. Our bars are up there too. Visit!

My time at the University of Michigan was amazing. I loved the sense of community in the student body and being around a level of academic excellence. Courses could be rigorous, especially in larger classes of hundreds of students (e.g. pre-med or engineering courses). If I could change one thing about the University it would be to have more spaces for cultural dialogue and exchange of free speech. There is a very progressive, liberal culture in Ann Arbor which is great! But often, if there is an inability to dialogue with others who do not share the same views, it can lead to extremism, division, and inability to build a society together.
