When people hear that I attend the Ross School they are always impressed.

Michigan is a great school, academically and socially. The size of the school is just right and it's so easy to find a click.
Alex
A lot of people are very socially active, for example, in fighting for environmentally friendly university buses and recycling. One of the best things about Michigan is all the recycling bins! I also love having such an amazing newspaper-- I religiously read the Michigan Daily. I like how big Michigan is because there are so many people to meet-- if i get bored of my friends there are always new groups to hang out with.

A big recent controversy on campus happened in a thai restaurant named "No Thai." The thai community at Michigan is very offended by this restaurant name despite "No" being the name of the owner. Regardless, there is currently debate about changing the name and whether this name is in fact offensive.

Michigan has a lot of school spirit, this is seen through professors and students alike. I would change the schools breaks because they isolate us from other college students. It's the right size for someone who wants to go to a big school. Most people are impressed when I say I go to Michigan. I spend a majority of my time in the dorms. Michigan's campus is ideal in regards to a "college town." All of Ann Arbor is centralized around the university. There is a strong faculty, who, on the most part, are easily accessible. But the administration, however, is very disorganized.

Jenna
Michigan is an amazing school. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to go here and I have never regreted it. It is the perfect combination of great academics, sports, school spirit, etc.
Rebecca
I like that there are so many different kinds of people here. It can be hard to find your place but since the most important aspect of college is academics, I spent a lot of time studying.
Amy
I love the feeling of being on campus in the fall. The trees are beautiful and everyone is so excited for FOOTBALL SATURDAYS!
Evan

Aliza
Michigan has something for everyone. I truly believe that no matter who you are or where you come from, Michigan will have something to offer to you. It's the perfect balance between having fun while still maintaining a prestigous education.
Nico
Best thing about Michigan is the pride that every student takes in this school either in athletics at the football game on a Saturday or in academics.
Paige
Michigan has a great campus. It's a wonderful environment and it's just an amazing place to live in and to be around.
Cris
Ann Arbor is a great college town and I'm glad I picked U of M. It's a great school, large, but there is always something to do depending on what your scene is. There is a huge selection of restaurants and shops to browse. The only downside to this school is the constant construction and people handing out little pieces of paper on the Diag. There is a ton of school pride especially on football saturdays. You scream Go there will definitely be a response back from somewhere saying Blue. Michigan is a great place to meet new people, learn about new cultures (in class and out of class) and experience the college lifestyle in a small town.
Whitney
the school seems too big at times with classes being impersonal and not knowing everyone on campus but it allows people many easy opportunities to meet lots of new people, lots of school spirit, biggest recent controversy was zach yost creating the infamous facebook group
Jessica
Coming from California, people think it is quite random for me to come to Michigan. Although it is such a large school, i do not feel overwhelmed in the crowds. I believe that everyone finds a smaller community within the large U of M community. There is tremendous school pride - not only by students, but by all residents of Ann Arbor. That being said, Ann Arbor is the perfect college town and makes U of M an even more unique and special place to go to school.
Brett
They need more teachers and classes
the kids are so fun and most are nice
they need more bars
lots of school pride
Ali
Football games are UNREAL. Michigan seems really really big but it's not--it's really what you make of it and you can do anything you want to make it smaller, aka join clubs or groups, etc. I love that Michigan has a college town but also a campus.
Ash
Michigan is an amazing university.It's so diverse and there really is something for everyone here, no matter who they are or what they like.The teachers are, for the most part, incredibly qualified and helpful and the students are generally smart, well rounded people who have very high goals.
