U Mich is, more than anything else, a compilation of resources. You have all the tools you need to succeed; You just need to choose and use properly.

“Going to Michigan was especially great for onePsychology
Going to Michigan was especially great for one thing - the reputation. I had no problem getting a good job and later, I had a number of top grad schools recruiting me. Everyone seems to be impressed with my Michigan degree. Unfortunately, I feel like the quality of my education was lacking, and other alumni I know have said the same thing. Classes tend to be large and impersonal, most professors only care about their research, and you have to work very hard to forge any type of meaningful or lasting relationship with them. If your experience was different, consider yourself lucky.
Ann Arbor is a neat town - make the most out of it. I am attending grad school at another large university and only now do I realize how great Ann Arbor really was.
I'm a shy/reserved person by nature and it was difficult for me to make close friendships, but I blame myself for that and not U-M. In a school with tens of thousands of students there is bound to be a wide range of personalities, so you can't paint the whole student body with one brush. There are sweet down to earth people, stuck-up jerks, and everything in between.

“If you are out of state you mayQuite BrightUndecided
If you are out of state you may want to consider the following:
1. Many freshmen come into the school already knowing at least a few, if not many, other incoming freshmen from their Michigan high school.
2. Do not expect to make many friends in class. You will have more luck getting to know people by joining organizations on campus.
3. Due to the declining Michigan economy (I believe) they are getting rid of lecturers. This makes it harder to get into classes because there are less class sections available.If you're into the football/frat scene Michigan may still be a good choice for you. However, if you are not it may not be such a good choice for out-of-state kids.
