The University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
“My professors knew me by name and caredEducation
My professors knew me by name and cared about my progress when I went to Michigan, but the university has changed. My son is currently a junior chemistry major. Not only do his professors not know his name, many don't even have office hours. He is taught almost entirely by graduate student instructors, who administer and grade his exams. Do your first year or two elsewhere, where you will have experts teaching you instead of running a lecture once a week. You will probably learn more, and you'll save a lot of money. Transfer students still get a "Michigan" degree.

“I love it here.Quite BrightOther
I love it here. The other students come in all forms, and I've had no problem meeting people who I can have fun with and relate with. Not everyone is approachable, but where on Earth would EVERYONE be approachable anyway? The technology use and resources here are A+, the campus is aesthetically great looking and wonderfully laid out. If you're living on Central Campus, everything you ever need or need to go to is within walkability, unless you have business on North Campus. The faculty so far has been engaging, and even my GSIs have really seemed to know their field and how to deal with us undergrads. Getting involved is easy and there are so many opportunities to do so. The work so far has been a great balance of challenging and interesting, even in the topics that I didn't expect to have much interest in. This is worth every cent I'm paying to be here.
