The humanities are great at Michigan. I’m a Classics and Spanish double-major, and I love my concentrations. Some of the Classics courses are huge but not all of them. (For example, I think there were approximately fifteen of us in one of my classes this semester.) My upper-level Spanish classes are usually capped at 25 students (I think). Also, it’s easy to get personal attention from “those in power.” I’ve actually become really close to one of my former instructors after working with him for a long period of time. However, the only difference is that you’re going to have to go to them. They’re not going to come to you and ask what you need. In other words, you have to be a self-starter. (HINT: Go to office hours!) You’ll get as much from your Michigan experience as you put into it. Finally, you don’t have to be in a sorority nor know anything about football to have a good time here.

Choose the school that you think will be best for you.
