The best thing about Michigan is the culture. I loved everything from the pride of alumni to the feeling of football Saturdays to the high standards to which we were held. I felt comfortable and safe yet pushed to grow and learn. There were resources to help and I always felt supported.

The best thing about the University of Michigan is by FAR the school spirit. There is no better feeling than waking up on a Saturday morning, getting dressed from head to toe in Maize and Blue, and entering the football stadium to see the Wolverines take on one of our many rivals. There is something about the comradery, no matter who you're next to at the games (as long as they are a U of M fan), you become one!

Aside from the fact that we have the largest alumni-base in the world, we have almost every resource you will need to succeed. If you need help with class work, an idea you have, starting an organization, or just want to find something new and exciting to do, there's a resource for you.

U of M is situated in the beautiful city of Ann Arbor. Central campus and the heart of downtown are interwoven, making for a beautiful walk to class! We also have the Law Quad, which is a quaint area with beautiful architecture. This area was actually considered to be scenery for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies. Then, of course, there is the Big House, our football stadium, which is the largest college football stadium in the world. So we have a lot of unique, characteristic aspects of campus that you cannnot find anywhere else!

The school spirit is incredible. Football Saturdays are truly one of the greatest experiences ever. The entire student body just comes together and cheers on the university. It's a really nice feeling.

The best part about the University of Michigan is that there is always something to do at any given point during the day. If you're not busy with school, work, or a club, then there's always something great going on at the dorm, the Diag, or the Union. At night, if you're not into Greek Life, there's always concerts or other events to keep yourself entertained with. At the University of Michigan, there's never a dull moment. With so many things going on, it is almost impossible to not get involved!

I like the way that I am challenged with classes and professors. I am in a school that accepts the brightest and best of the applicants. So, I feel honored to have been chosen to attend U of M. With being surrounded by these outstandin students, it forces me to strive to achieve and match the high standards that the school is known for.

The environment is excellent, and people are very upbeat and positive about learning and the courseload. It's difficult to get through the hardest classes without friends who care about that sort of thing as much as you do, and you're never in short supply here.

The best aspect of the University of Michigan is the level of excellence they demand from students. There is nothing "easy" about the course work, however, this is because the school wants to push students to maximise their potential. The bar is set very high from the very beginning and that is what makes you, as a student, want to strive to succeed. The school surrounds students with all available rescources to help them achieve this success. It really is a reamarkable university.

Plenty of awesome people with a wide range of beliefs, while still not being incredibly crazy. Plenty of professors that know their stuff and will always help when needed.

There is great school spirit! Everyone is proud to be here. Atheletic events are awesome. Go Blue!!

The school spirit. From the moment you begin at UofM you will forever be proud to be a Michigan Wolverine. The school spirit is like no place else in the world. That, combined with the amazing acadmics and faculty, beautiful campus, diverse student body, and wide range of things to do, make it one of my favorite places on the planet. It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine! Go Blue!!

There are definitely feelings of school spirit and a strong disposition of passion and camaraderie between students. There is a large breadth of activities and the vitality that surround each passion, activity and sector of society. All of those things are very extreme and a fantastic part of the campus community. They make Michigan unforgetable and perhaps, worth the sweat and blood it takes to get through the academics.

The engineering school had the most option for me.

School spirit, friendly people, high prestige.

The best thing was the diversity and culture on campus. I met people from all walks of life and attended many art and cultural events.

All of the organizations to get involved in. All of the diversity. The availability of great churches whatever denomination you may be. The ability to make a large campus into a small community by finding groups of friends with your same interests. The football games! Their great academic reputation.
