| I live in Ann Arbor and couldn't even begin to count the number of U of M students, professers, and alums I know. Michigan's greatest weakness is that the school cares significantly more about their graduate students than undergraduate. There are WAY too many undergraduate classes taught by grad students, and the quality of teaching is not consistantly very good for undergrads.
Another personal thing that I have is that the campus is HUGE. It is completely mixed in with Ann Arbor, like, there U of M buildings next to Ann Arbor buildings and this causes for no real central part of campus, and everything to be extremely spread out.
Just as some people have said before, everyone at Michigan loves themselves, although I think you will find this at almost all Universities. It is a good school, but from a girl that has been surrounded by the University of Michigan her entire life, I wouldn't go there if you paid me. |
