University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Top Questions

I think the worst thing is the lack of students who come from poor or lower middle class families. It seems like most of the students who go here are from wealthy families and have no financial troubles whatsoever.

The dorms could be nicer. Some bathrooms are in terrible condition, and some dining halls need to improve the quality of their. food

I do not like how the professors are not helpful. I lost my father towards the end of the term and all of my professors told me to withdraw which would mean losing all of the money I paid for the term and I would be behind a whole year. I toughed it out and ended with a 3.9 in the hardest semester of our 4 year nursing program. I would have liked some support from the faculty but am happy that I had enough strength within myself and with my friends to finish.

Ann Arbor housing is expensive and recently lots of robberies.

yyyyyyyy

The worst quality of my college would have to be the overabundant opportunties that are available. Sometimes students tend to become so caught up in the wide array of extracurricular programs that they lose sight in what truly interest them. For example, if a student is a member of several groups, they may not be able to devote a large amount of time in one particular group in which they could make a difference. This flaw most definitely be eliminated by simply limiting the amount of activites one takes part in so that they are able to make significant contributions.

I think the competitive level really puts a strain on social organizations. So many employers are seeking 'leaders' and motivated people, and it sometimes becomes really hard to become part of organizations. So many people are interested and especially for clubs where auditions are necessary, chances are, if you aren't top notch, you probably will be rejected.

There are many bad things about my school. From the bad cafeteria food and loud dormatories to the excessive price of tuition and housing. My least favorite aspect is the size of the classes and availability of the professors. It is almost impossible to build a personal relationship with a professor. They put their own work first and then their teaching second. All small classes are led by a graduate student.

Hard to think of the worst thing about this school! I love it! But, if I have to come up with something, it would be the difficulty of the introductory classes. As a freshman, all I take is the introductory classes, also known as the weeder classes! They are packed with information and move so fast! Although they are said to be introductory courses, the students that usually do the best are the ones with background knowledge and experience in the course.

That you can get lost amid all of the people, and frequently get confused about all of the available resources. Sometimes it gets a little overwhelming, and choosing one or two resources may become a struggle instead of a source of aid.
