UM is a great school! The campus is beautiful, the students are friendly, and the classes are interesting. Also, they offer a lot of financial aid.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you're not looking to attend a liberal school--both in terms of education and politics--then this probably isn't the place for you. If you're an art or theater major, though, or just a free spirit, then UM is perfect for you. Also, if you don't want to attend school in a small town, you'd better look elsewhere.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are challenging, but the professors are fair, for the most part. Also, UM offers a lot of interesting classes, like a Harry Potter course.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are pretty nice, and the RAs are always hosting activities for the residents, like movie nights.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafeteria is a lot better than I expected, and they even offer vegan and vegetarian options.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Like I said, it's a small town, so there isn't a whole lot to do. There are several nice parks and trails if you're an outdoorsy type, as well as a lake where you can rent canoes and kayaks. There are also a few boutiques if you like to shop, and several restaurants (we just got a Taco Bell). And if you want some real excitement, you can always drive to Birmingham, which is only 45 minutes away.
