The University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

The costs of books and homework is astounding. My stat 250 class alone is over $400. Everything is online, you have to pay ~$50 tosubscribe to the online homework FOR EACH CLASS. It's ridiculous, especially with out of state tuition so high. I feel taken advantage of finacially by the school.

The people hang out with their high-school friends, so being out-of state is really hard at first. And then, if you are a girl who doesn't want to join a sorority, you are out of luck. People are down to earth, but you have to work hard to find anyone who actually cares about their studies, or is abnormal or interesting. It's incredibly cold, and I barely left my building if I didn't have to. You are very isolated in the Michigan Bubble, and it was just not the place for me. I did, however, love my classes--I learned a lot, and the Communications Studies courses are really interesting, though many people here didn't take their courses seriously. I am switching schools, because it's just not the right place for me. I never felt at home there.
