U of M is a wonderful place to study anything your heart could possibly desire. I've meet from Michigan that go there to study from chemical engineer to music, and all of them look happy, successful, and proud. While I don't much about all the academics, I know that Michigan offers liberal arts, engineering, medicine, law, and everything in between. Mandated classes tend to have large audiences, but more professionalized courses tend to grow smaller.
If you have doubts, the campus has enormous libraries, filled with thousands of books and nice places were to study.
I would say that as long as you don't get too distracted by the active Greek life of the university, and you put proper attention to your studies, you should do great things at Michigan
Will enjoy being here
Ann Arbor is probably the best, middle-sized city in all of Michigan. Filled with theatres, movie houses, lots of coffee-shops (and probably the biggest Borders store I have seen yet) and all other kinds of stores, some located within giant Briarwood Mall, there's always something to do or somewhere to go at Ann Arbor.
During winter, as in most of Michigan, the weather can be a tad unpredictable, both is usually characterized by freezing temperatures and snowfall once in a while. However, the city is great for outdoor experiences during spring, summer and fall. Even in winter, you can always be sure that great woodlands or skiing areas cannot be too far from Ann Arbor.
The city as a giant art fair every year or so, the best Japanese restaurant I have ever tried, and a rich past characterized by the settlement of mostly Germans in the city a century or more ago.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
U of M can be extremely affordable, as long as you are a resident of Michigan. Since it's technically a public university, U of M can afford to offer low tuition to most Michigan residents, as long as they can prove they haven residents for at least three consecutive years.
For those coming from outside, the academics that U has to offer, plus the many opportunities that come from obtaining a degree from Michigan, its definitely worth the tuition costs, and even for non-residents, U of M's cost is still somewhat low compared to other great schools in Michigan.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you live in Michigan, you should definitely visit one of the school's information fairs. They give a tour of the university, help you with the application process by giving tips and important info, you get to observe the city of Ann Arbor in the process (or are welcomed to do so after the visit is over), and you usually get a pretty realistic glance of student life. Last time I visited Michigan for an information fair, we were received by a fraternity's party occuring in one of the many fraternities at Michigan. That further boosts the belief that there is always something to do at Michigan.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Party people, as long as you keep things in moderation, you will ADORE Michigan. For students interested in receiving the best public education in Michigan, don't forget U of M. Most of all, coffee adicts, book snugglers, peace-loving hippies, library recluses, concert and moviegoers, organice eaters, Chinese addicts, and winter sports people, Ann Arbor is calling.
