Her studio classes are 12-15 people. Humanities can really vary, it could be as small as studio classes but can also be large lecture halls. She had a creative writing class that had 30 people but her HIV history class at the nursing college had 100+ students. The diversity and classes at UM are just phenomenal. So this current semester she had 3 studio classes, Creative Writing and Television and the History of the HIV epidemic. Next semester she has 3 studio classes, Art History and Creative Writing and Dance. She tried to get into a Children’s book writing class and a History of Video Game music class but they are very popular and filled up before she registered. She got AP credits for American Government, History, Psychology and Calculus so she doesn’t have to take some courses that others do. Having access to such a diverse amount of classes just opens up opportunities for learning. My daughter is creative but still academic and liked this type of environment over just an Art school. You won’t get into UM unless you have the academics though, so you need a strong art portfolio and academics, which is a combination that you don’t always see. Carnegie Mellon and Yale were on our list too but she felt like those schools were too serious and she wanted to enjoy college too. UM has been great so far and she just loves Ann Arbor. College is also about the experience and she did not want to just be working all the time and dealing with stuffy people. We got a horrible vibe from CM and was completely turned off- everyone seemed to take themselves way too seriously.
