<p>The campus is enormous! If you are looking for a quiet, small college experience, this may not be a wise choice. Coming from a small town in Northern Minnesota, the U of M was a complete culture shock. The public transportation is great. You do not have to own a car if you want to go here. For $97/semester, the UPass gives you unlimited public transportation access. The professors here can be a hit and a miss. They are all very knowledgeable, but may not be the best at teaching a large class. So far, I have only had bad experiences in Chemistry and Anthropology. As others have noted, CBS is very competitive. What careers are you considering pursuing?</p>
<p>If it is anything related to human health, you should consider applying to the College of Liberal Arts as a Physiology major. In the long run, you actually have more flexibility with your degree to take classes you enjoy. As a Physiology major, I am taking the same core classes as my peers from CBS. The only difference is that they have more requirements for their degree. For instance, I am able to take advanced courses when some of them are taking ecology/evolution. If you speak Arabic fluently, you would not have to worry about the second language requirement that all CLA students must take. </p>
<p>Let me know if you have anymore questions! I’ll try to come on here from time to time. Good luck!</p>
