The University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
“The University's art program is quite disappointing.AverageArt & Design Department
The University's art program is quite disappointing. The first year and a half is basically filled with art classes that really need to be redesigned. I understand that TMP and CFC can be useful classes (if you get the right professor) but ADP takes up three semesters and is absolute bullshit. There are no definite majors (you don't have a structured curriculum for ceramics or painting) and the school really is focused on creating designers, not artists. We are also talked at for the majority of the week, rather than being pushed to create. If you have absolutely no clue what type of art you're interested in, or if you want to double major in an academic major too, then U of M may satisfy you. I personally feel as though I'm wasting my time. If I hadn't met so many wonderful friends here, I'd transfer.

“I love this school,Quite BrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
I love this school, its a big school but if you assert yourself they its impossible to get lost. There is so much that you can do from sports to clubs to opportunites to travel and work. I really have nothing bad to say about this school except to expect to live in the library.

“I would say that U-M has really surprisedNot so bright
I would say that U-M has really surprised me. I never visited the school before I came. All I did was research. I was never really engaged in sports and activities during my high school years. Michigan has really changed my view on people and my view on higher education in general. I have met many people and I'm involved in several organizations. As long as you come to U-M with an open mind, there are many positive and rewarding experiences that you will go through. U-M academics are challenging. Getting an A is no walk in the park, but if you put in the effort, you can achieve. Being self-motivated is very important to being a successful U-M student. The dorms are nice, the food is average. Being a minority, I can say that some people act differently towards me, but most are welcoming. People can be arrogant and snobby at times, but with so many people U-M, it is important to find your niche.
