<p>Freshmen in college vs seniors in college are like night and day. By the time most people are upperclassman they seem much more confident, more honest and just more comfortable in their own skin. Freshmen in college so often seem so self conscious and so desperate for approval. </p>
<p>I do think UM is a school where confidence is important. There are so many outgoing and lively people at UM that it can be challenging for people who are more timid and self conscious. You don’t have to be the life of the party by any means, but you should have confidence in yourself at UM.</p>
