Student culture at UM?

I’d just like to add that literally every single one of my close friends (and I myself) would not be here without his/her scholarship and each one lives on a modest budget just like your average college student. I do know one guy (and international student) who is definitely ridiculously wealthy, but he’s one of the nicest, most down-to-earth dudes I’ve ever met, so who cares?

If there’s any problem I have with the general student body, it’s that there is quite a distinct lack of intellectual curiosity: most kids here are pretty bright, but learning is kept strictly to the classroom. That’s kind of to be expected at a place like this, but still- pretty lame. However, it’s certainly possible to find fellow nerds to throw your lot in with; it’s just harder than at most other schools.
