University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Top Questions

That student do not always help each other.

The amount of students in sororities and fraternities.

The worst thing about my school is that way that the exam schedule is set up. In the begining of the year, we do not have any exams for the first month of school. Once the second month of school begins, we begin having midterms. Although some students have exams that are very spread out, others have multiple exams on the same day for a few consecutive days. It also feels like once we being having exams, they never stop until we have our winter break. This can be very stressful for the students.

Since the school and campus are so big, it's kind of hard to meet people who will remain your friends, since you usually don't see them again. It really depends on what activities you join that determine your friends. I am in a sorority so the majority of my friends are from there, and I've made a few friends through classes, but as a science major, the classes are usually 400 people lectures. It takes extra effort to make a group of friends, but you're always meeting new people.

While the off campus food is amazing the lack of good food at on campus eatires is a bit depressing.

I consider the worst thing about my school to be the competitive academics. The workload is overwhelming and the students in the harder majors (engineering, business, etc.) can get very stressed out.

It's too goal-oriented. A lot of classes are difficult because of the engineering / medschool / lawschool competition.

The worst thing about my school is that everyone is extremely oriented towards their academics and it is therefore very competitive.

Too competitive.

The North Campus Central Campus divide.

There is very little integration between different ethnic groups. For being such a diverse campus, few groups actually mix and so that aspect of learning is missed.

The worst thing? I actually can't think of a single negative trait about my school. Maybe that there are so many different choices in regard to classes and social activities that it's difficult to pick just a few... but what's really bad about that?

I know this sounds lame, but I cant really think of any thing bad about UofM. Its everything and more that i wanted from a college. Its just a great place to be! Hell, i even LOVE going to class. Maybe the dorm food, but I mean its dorm food, what do you expect.

The classes are often large lectures and usually you have a TA. Often times the TA dosn't speak English as a first language and this can lead to confusion.
