The atmoshpere and tradition associated with the University of Michigan. It creates a feeling of inclusion with all others who have attended and will attend the University. It feels as though the entire school is united under the Michigan Difference

Career placement - There is a very strong alumni network that is both large and attached to their alma mater. Therefore, they are eager to assist current students in finding jobs. The Ross School of Business is the top business school in the country and the students often come out with very well paid starting jobs. In any city in this country, one can find a Michigan alumni who wants to help out their fellow wolverine. It is truly a strong sense of school spirit that lasts forever.

There are a lot of career fairs so everyone has a chance to see what's out there in the real world. Also, it is a very academically competitive environment so it encourages a lot of people to work hard.

Stepping into the Big House and feeling the roar of the croud, the excitement and the anxious pause, preternatural quiet before every hike: these are the things I remember most about my time at th University of Michigan. Waking up and seeing thousands of students pour into the streets in yellow and blue, the smell of hotdogs and music blasting from every house, the flying ping-pong balls and drinking games, that feeling of being united behind a single cause for a single morning before returning to books and computer screens the following Sunday. And the afternoon naps.

The best thing about this school is it's school spirit and pride. Everyone here is proud to be a part of the wolverine experience. It is an absolute honor to be a student here.

There are so many good things at UM that I don't know which to choose. The quality of the education you receive and the fact that your professors are some of the best on their respective fields is definitely one of the best things. There are other schools that are just as good academically, but what sets Michigan apart is its diversity. It is a huge school, and the opportunities to be active and help in the community, or do any other kind of extracurricular activity, are endless. Go Blue!

The University does a very good job in providing events where students don't have to resort to alchohol to have phone in their free time. There are late night parties run by students funded by the school on Friday nights. The dorms have many group events in which you can participate and get to know the people on your floor or in your building. University-run buses that transports students so there is no need for a car and the city run buses are free to the students due to a contract that the school has with them.

The students and faculty make the University of Michigan great!

The mix of a serious academic institution and a relaxed college atmosphere is what makes Michigan special to me
Lauren
The best thing about The University of Michigan is the plethora of opportunites available to all students. This is such a diverse campus filled with so many different clubs and activities. I love the wide range of things that I can do while I am on campus.
Jennifer
I think the best thing about my school is the atmostphere. Soon after coming to the University of Michigan, I felt that Ann Arbor had become my home. I always have always felt welcomed in the community and I think the community welcomes each student to take part. Each student is an important part of the University of Michigan community, and I think we all feel this.
Elise
The school spirit and camraderie that comes from school pride and really knowing what "the Michigan difference" means. Knowing that we, as students and eventually alumni, can take part in this pride and still root for our football team years down the line is awe-inspiring and really makes me feel as if I am part of a tight-knit community despite the size of our school.
Justin
The best thing about my school is the reputation. To say you are a Michigan Man or Women means an incredible amount in the working world. UofM has produced some of the best scientists, business men, doctors and, more importantly, well rounded individuals out there today. Michigan teaches more then a career, but values and ideals that really stick in a true wolverine. To be called a Michigan Man or Women is a privledge, one I am very proud of myself to put myself in this category.
Kyle
The amount of exposure to other cultures, ideas, religions and backgrounds is by far the best thing about my school.
Matthew
The camaraderie makes the campus a warm place even when there is snow outside. Making friends is easy. Everyone is kind, and everyone wants to include you.
Jessica
The education you receive is the best because each professor is usually considered among the best in their respective field.
Christopher
The best thing about my current school is that is very well known.
Kevin
The best thing about UM is the size of the university and the numerous opportunities to join some of the many organizations that are available in such a large institution.
