Michigan has an objectively great psych department. The students and faculty are collaborative rather than competitive. The research is of top quality. Most laboratories are very well funded. Because the department is huge you might be a bit more of a "number" here than at other schools, but not in your particular lab (where it matters), because there don't tend to be any huge labs at Michigan. Recent developments (in the department's budget) have made the funding package temporarily worse and the administrative offices harder to deal with. But other than that it's a great place to be.
