Coming to the University of Michigan is probablyBrightEconomics
Coming to the University of Michigan is probably the most dissapointing decision I could have made in selecting a college. The Greek life is turning to shit because the president of this school is enforcing numerous new rules and laws for parties, something that is hurting the only real positive that used to exist when I first showed up in Ann Arbor. So now the party scene sucks and all frats and sororities are constantly worried about getting kicked off campus for some ridiculous offence. The weather is TERRIBLE. If you like to be active and do things outside, forget it. Expect 6 of the 8 months to be the coldest you've ever experienced and expect to always be dressed up in big jackets while all the girls go into hibernation and eat all winter long and come out in the spring like plums. That reminds me. Worst girls I have ever seen in my life and I swear. It is so hard to find one attractive girl at this school. The school is way too tuff. You have random kids who can easily get good grades but for most people its a struggle to get anything above a B+. The football is good I must admit. But everything else sucks. I guess if your from Michigan you are used to all of these things so have a good time spending your in state tuition here, but if you are from out of state take your $36,000 somewhere else and at least have a semi-decent time while your attending college. I know college is about the education, but its also about having a good time with some good people. Don't look for that here. There are plenty of other schools that you would love and also have a great academic reputation.

If your academic advisor ignores your emails, it's time for a new academic advisor.
