Campus Visit Notes for University of Michigan-Ann Arbor


Visit Description:

I was only in Ann Arbor for about 24 hours and I really loved it! When we were first driving in, I was a little uncertain about whether or not I'd like the campus because the Detroit area was quite bleak, but when we got there it was HUGE and somewhat intimidating compared to my state flagship (to which I've been MANY MANY MANY TIMES, Go (Missouri) Tigers!) but absolutely awesome at the same time! When we drove by the Big House, it was absolutely amazing. The size of that stadium is immense! I'd never seen anything so big (that's what she said, I know haha). But really the campus visit was awesome (save for a rather unenthusiastic guide, but whatever)
