As a high school student this is one of the schools that you hope to god you are good enough to get into because it would benefit your life so much. This school is amazing, I deservedly rate it 5 stars.
The University of Michigan is an amazing community. The academics, though challenging, provide students with the knowledge and experience to begin working right after college at higher levels than average graduates. In addition to its academics, Michigan has an extremely diverse student population, there is a place for everyone with the hundreds of student organizations, multiple research opportunities, and fantastic sports. I haven't had any bad experiences at the University of Michigan and if I were to ever have a negative experience there are many different people I can talk to to fix my problem. Michigan cares for its students and works hard to provide the best education, community, and opportunities them.
