University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Top Questions

.

Yes.

We are extremely spirited! Honestly game days are like no other! We're also extremely smart...we're called a public ivy for a reason. In terms of politics and general attitude, coming from the liberal northeast I assumed that I would be in Obama-loving weed smoking heaven in the city where marijuana is "decriminalized." I have found that almost everyone I've met is very conservative, at least politically. I have to assume that this may just be the people I hang out with (maybe its a Greek thing?) because most reputations come from somewhere. EXCEPT ONE. We are much hotter, smarter, and more fun than Michigan State. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. GO BLUE!!!!

In some cases yes and in some no. There were many people there I got a long with great, and some that I did not. It really matters on the classes you are taking and what kind of person you are.

Yes

There is a huge population of Jewish students at the University, however I feel that the University is extremely diverse and that this is not an accurate stereotype.

If you want to branch out, there are definitely opportunities. I know people from high school here who are still only friends with the people they grew up with but I also know people who have found entirely new groups of friends.

The school becomes smaller once you have a group of friends. Intelligence is equal all around and the bars are becoming harder to get into no matter how old you are.

no

Everyone here is really driven and the libraries are always packed but people go out on the weekends and have so much fun. And the girls are smoking, much hotter than the boys.

Liberal: almost true, if they're not, they keep their mouth shut because all the liberals will gang up, and the student paper is extremely liberal Rich:not necessarily,but there is too much North Face...Everywhere

No

Some people are definitely stuck up and rich. But I think most people who go here are the picture of average American young person. And I think people do party hard here, just because it is a college, but not as hard as they party at State

To an extent. USA Today put it best when describing Wolverines, "People say Michigan has an arrogance. But the bottom line is that Michigan fans care about Michigan and they don't care about anybody else." It's true. We're the "Leaders and Best" and we work hard every single day to keep it that way. As far as the rich/spoiled stereotype...that's not true. While we do have a very affluent population, we pride ourselves on our diversity. This diversity is more than just race, it is in socioeconomic status as well.

For the most part, yes.

No, because the great thing about Michigan being a big school is that you can make it whatever you want. It is so easy to find a niche, and you can stay away from things you don't like as much.

most are based in thruth, although there needs to be something to count for the disproportionate number of ugly guys as well

in some/many ways

To a minor extent
