The University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Michigan was an overall great experience. To be frank, it was hard to adjust during the first year. I was a first generation college student and had to get used to not being the smartest kid in my classes. The school is challenging and your peers are very accomplished, smart individuals. However, you will soon adapt and fall in love with the school. For me, Michigan was a place of incredible personal growth with opportunities for everyone. It is a very well-rounded school. Great town, social life, academics, and sports.

Yes, there are bad eggs here. However, you can expect that with ANY university that you attend, and more so in life.

It may be hard at first, but any life transition is. You will find you place, your people, and your rhythm. Stick with it and you will be proud you did.

I'm almost done with my first year at UMich and I absolutely love this school. I wouldn't change my decision to come here even if I could go to my second choice for free. The students (for the most part) are nice, have more school spirit than you can imagine, and know how/like to have fun. Everyone here is motivated which forces you to be productive. But once the sun goes down, you can expect to have more parties than you can count on both hands. There is always something to do no matter what you are into. I did not join Greek Life and I have not once had a hard time finding something to do at night. I would advise applying/coming to this school because it will be the best four years of your life, all the while you are getting one of the best educations in the world. Be open to meeting new people and trying new things. Great people, great place. Forever go blue!!!!

The university of Michigan, especially the college of engineering, is an amazing school with near limitless possibilities. While here I've met amazing people and within my first year I already have inventions to call my own. It is difficult and competitivee, but it is worth it. I was accepted to Johns Hopkins as well as Duke university. Not one day goes by where I regret my decision. Go blue!
