I bleed Maize and Blue. Not many people are genuinely unhappy with the University of Michigan. Most of the negative reviews are from Spartans and Buckeyes....How does that fight song go? Can't read, can't write, Go Green, Go White?

On 10/12/18 Michigan Tour guide Raoul seems to dislike "rich white men that donate 100 million dollars" to build a business school. Does it matter what skin color a man has Raoul? I thought you would not judge a man by his skin color or by how much money he has. What a poor representative to such an allegedly prestigious University.

My son undoubtedly is enjoying Michigan and receiving a good education. However, if you are not a Michigan resident and won't get financial aid, the school is virtually as expensive as almost all private colleges. And every year, the tuition for out-of-state students goes up, both as a percentage and obviously in actual dollar cost, dramatically more than for in-state students. So, if you are in-state or if you are out-of-state and get financial aid, yes, this is a "best value" university. If neither applies to you, it absolutely is not, and I suggest you not pay any attention to the various statements you will see about "average cost" and the like. It's irrelevant to you.

I visited their campus for a day last September during the the weekend of the BYU football game and man this place was buzzing, I watched their baseball tryouts, saw some guy murder the ball, watched some of the track athletes do some hurdles too. Later I was told to just cruuuuuise down State Street I believe (may have been main) and I hit up the UM store, got myself a shirt, a hat and met my idol Derek Jeter. Yep. Made that trip truly one of the most memorable. Even as a huge MSU fan I would definitely go to UM to play ball or for education.

This place can be great or terrible. A lot of it depends on luck. And a lot of it is on the university for not being as competent as they claim they are. I don't personally feel that the faculty is treated well. And I think a lot of unnecessary stress is put on students. Of course some amount of stress is normal when at university but U of M takes it to another level. The financial aide program is a joke. Each person you talk to there will tell you different information from the last time you spoke with someone at the office, leaving you very confused. Advisors are over worked and not properly trained for the job. I'm not really sure who is the ultimate cause of the trouble many people face at U of M but I hope someone can figure it out so then everyone who works there or attends the school can have a good experience. The education over all is good. Wich of course is one of the top priorities. However with the way things are at the school now I don't know that the education is worth the money. The amount of stress and lack of help or accurate information is most definitely not worth the money. I would like to see U of M take people's complaints or issues with them seriously. Maybe someday the school will be more organized and everyone who is involved with it can have a great experience and gain the knowledge they need to succeed.

For my mom, it was the best place for her to be. It's a great hospital. They have a market some mornings you can go and buy fresh fruit and flowers. Big cafeteria with lots of choices. It can be confusing your first visit, but it's not as difficult to navigate as one would think. You could tell the specialists and doctors really cared and wanted to help. The gave the facts and diagnosis gently but without sugar-coat.

I didn't go here, but visited the campus. The library is something straight out of Harry Potter. It's beautiful, and you can really feel the school spirit. I think the students, faculty, and anyone associated with the school is proud of it.

Most importantly, the students are always striving to make the school better.
Be ready to bundle up, if you aren't used to Michigan winters!

It's a great school, but they do screw over their staff. The pay for researchers are insultingly low, and the raises are even more insultingly low. Employees that are let go due to cutbacks when try to get another job here, they make sure they're not paid even a dime more, even though by now they're more experienced. So if you're stuck at this place due to some personal and life issues, rest assured, you will be living below poverty line, even with an advanced degree and significant experience. HR is no help, and the big guy always wins. But they really need to treat their employees better, they are doing amazing work and contributing to society and you treat them as they'd be better off working as day laborers.

Very disappointed in this school. They had a booth during a college fair. The rep that stood behind their table continued to direct my son to the black schools, and continued with the same negative comments directed to my son. Not knowing my son is a straight A high honor student, who is also Captain of the Varsity football team at his school, and he was only a sophomore at the time. You should never judge a book by its cover. I am so disappointed in this school, and we moved here from Connecticut for our childrens education and for the great college opportunities out here...

Excellent University with a gigantic campus that merges with the city of ANN ARBOR.

I am not a student there but being right next door it's a place I love you visit. The campus is beautiful and a great atmosphere to be in. It's definitely a nice place to go to just walk around and explore if you haven't.

im going to attend this school! i am very excited. the immersion of the university's campus with the city of ann arbor is great. although close to home, it gives students the feeling that they are far from home! (at least for me, i am from Michigan!)
