I love this school, its a big school but if you assert yourself they its impossible to get lost. There is so much that you can do from sports to clubs to opportunites to travel and work. I really have nothing bad to say about this school except to expect to live in the library.

I would say that U-M has really surprised me. I never visited the school before I came. All I did was research. I was never really engaged in sports and activities during my high school years. Michigan has really changed my view on people and my view on higher education in general. I have met many people and I'm involved in several organizations. As long as you come to U-M with an open mind, there are many positive and rewarding experiences that you will go through. U-M academics are challenging. Getting an A is no walk in the park, but if you put in the effort, you can achieve. Being self-motivated is very important to being a successful U-M student. The dorms are nice, the food is average. Being a minority, I can say that some people act differently towards me, but most are welcoming. People can be arrogant and snobby at times, but with so many people U-M, it is important to find your niche.

I'm an engineering transfer student at UofM and to be honest, the only reason I came here was because this is the only school in Michigan with the program that I wanted. UofM has an elites attitude that I don't care for. I'm not impressed with the way the school presents the material either. It seems that there is no standard that the faculty has to follow. For instance, my friends and I all had the exact same thing on our homework. Some of us got 70% some got 95%. There's no doubt that all the professors are extremely intelligent. However, it's rare to find one that can teach. They have a kind of throw you into the deep end approach to teaching that isn't working out too well for me. I had an assignment which required an extensive knowledge of Matlab. I had never heard of Matlab before coming here. I was basically told to go and figure it out by myself. Why am I paying them to teach myself? Thinking back, I would have gone to a different school for undergrad then transferred to UofM for grad school. For your info, a typical class grade break down is as follows: homework 20%, class participation 5%, midterm 35%, final 40%. If you decide to go here good luck and I hope you make it.
