Campus Visit Notes for University of Michigan-Ann Arbor


Visit Description:

I was very glad that I visited before I applied. I'm much more reassured that I will be happy at Michigan if I decide to go there. I'm not quite as scared as I was before about the enormity of it and all the facilities were great.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Parking wasn't bad at all, actually pretty cheap. The directions from the website were great.
