I don't know that there is a kind of person who SHOULDN'T attend the University of Michigan. We are very welcoming to all religious affiliations, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds. Perhaps someone who does not like the cold! It was definitely an adjustment moving from the warm south up to chilly Ann Arbor, but it is also a beautiful town! I also think someone who does not want the big University experience, and maybe was more interested in the small liberal arts college should steer clear of the University of Michigan. I love it! Go Blue!

If you plan on looking for a easy school to finish in four years think again. Grades are really hard to pull up once you bring them down.
