I’ve been told that the Michigan winters are almost unbearable for people from the west coast. My older brother actually went to visit a friend in Michigan over the winter and told me that there’s no way people from the coast like ourselves can live in Michigan for four years.

I have come to believe that UMich is one of the best colleges for me and would definitely like to attend, but are the winters really bad enough to seriously consider not going?

Also this a pretty dumb question too, but people have told me that the Detroit area is also one of the most dangerous areas in the US. Does the campus itself have a safe environment?

Thanks for any input.
