University of Michigan-Flint prepares you for your career field while ensuring you've tried a bit of everything before graduating. There are a few professors who aren't that great at teaching, but they are few and greatly surpassed by their colleagues who do their best to make sure you understand the material. First semester tends to be rough on freshman, but you'll catch on quick and figure out what works and doesn't work for scheduling your courses.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
University of Michigan-Flint's campus is moderately- sized, bordering on small. The Skywalks are a unique addition to its campus, which the student body generally appreciates, especially in the winter when we have to travel from building to building. People here are friendly for the most part- the student body is diverse and open-minded, so it's hard not to make a friend here. The food is pretty decent, but somewhat overpriced. The library is a great place to study, with myriad books and desks with walls that enable you to focus on your work- and you also can use books from Ann Arbor's campus if you request them online. There are several clubs you can join, and several volunteering opportunities.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
University of Michigan-Flint is DEFINITELY worth the money you pay for your education, here's why:
- The classes are generally smaller than you would find at larger universities, even when we're talking about lecture hall-based courses.
- This means more individualized attention per student, which is good for you because the professor will do his/her best to make sure you understand the material. The staff is generally very encouraging.
- Tuition isn't as expensive as most other colleges, and there are several scholarship opportunities available.
- More individualized attention also means it's easier to study abroad via UofM-Flint.
- When you graduate, your diploma will say you graduated from University of Michigan without specifying which branch, so you will still have graduated from the big reputable university.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
- Make sure you order your books at least two-three weeks ahead of time.
- Be sure you know where your classes are located before you start school.
- DO NOT HESITATE TO DROP A COURSE OR TWO. You have plenty of time to drop one, but after the drop deadline has passed and you try to drop a course, they put you through hell in order for you to do so, and there's a chance the committee who reviews your case might not let you pass.
- There's a LOT of work involved in the Honors Program, and half of it doesn't seem like it will be useful. Professors in and out of the program are usually very understanding though, so don't be hesitant to get to know them and work with them.
- If you're entirely new to the university and are having a hard time making friends, join a club or two at the beginning of the semester, that is based around things you may be interested in, e.x. Anime Club or Poet and Writer's Society (PAWS). You'll be bound to make a friend or two, people here are open and friendly for the most part.
