University of Michigan - Ann Arbor Reviews

"This program offers a diverse complement of faculty to choose from, which is particularly valuable for students who want to get experience in more than one area. However, the classes were not helpful in improving the graduate experience and there is little help for students who are not in an ideal faculty mentorship situation."

"An an international student I feel very welcomed by the University community. The support of the school was more than excellent for me to manage to integrate with the recently unknown to me American law school environment."

"I believe the program is really great. The professors are very accessible and the classes are small, which allows a personalized education."

"Michigan Law School is amazing. The quality of the education provided here is out of the charts. Professors are very well prepared and are usually leaders on their field of study. The Office of Career Planning actively works to help all students out and the social events and networking events are constant and helpful."

"Pros : Good learning Most of the faculties are good Cons: Less flexible ( with respect to number of cognates from other departments) Highly expensive No funding opportunities"

"U of M is a fantastic school. It is a large University with a rich history. The faculty and facilities are great. The city of Ann Arbor is an amazing college town. Big time athletics is a major plus."

"Michigan has arguably the best combination of top academic programs, extracurricular activities, and school pride. Ann Arbor is also a great college town. The biggest challenge is figuring out what you want to do with your life so you can take advantage of all the opportunities being a student there provides."

"University of Michigan is one of the best education institutes in the world. The student life in Ann Arbor prepares you for a better life in the future. No wonder why Ann Arbor has been chosen as the most intellectual city in the US."

"The UM SSW is one of the few schools of social work that has a few macro tracks in the country. The internships are great."

"I cannot recommend U of M highly enough. I had an unmatched academic experience with top professors in their fields who were genuinely interested in their students' thoughts and encouraged me to think bigger and more deeply. I miss the campus all the time, and would encourage anyone looking for a rigorous but rewarding university to Go Blue, 100%. (Also, I got a job in my field soon after graduation ‰ÛÓ and my field is English, if that makes it more impressive. Besides an incredible experience, U of M looks great on a resume.)"

"U of M is a great school, but a lot of times professors are more concerned about their research than teaching. Depending on the program, it can be highly competitive. That works for a lot of people though!"

"Great school overall. Met a lot of people with different viewpoints and backgrounds, which was huge for my own personal development. That said, the campus really needs to desegregate."

"Best school in the country! Renowned academics, deep school spirit and pride, fun like you've never had before! Go blue!"

"Incredible academic and non-academic experience at the university. Not only was it an extremely diverse community, but the bonds that you will form are incredibly tight and what's great is that there is something for everyone. If you want to get into the sports scene, you can see some of the nation's best teams. If you want to get into Greek life, there is a very strong presence on campus. If you want to just sit around and be a hippie, there's plenty of that to go around. Ann Arbor is a great college town, but it's one of the only schools I've visited and experienced where literally just about everything is accessible. Hell, even if you want to take some road trips with your friends, Canada, Chicago, Indy, and Ohio are all in reasonable distances."

"Although listed as the number one school for social work, I wished I would have chosen another university. The courses are centered around research instead of application. Also, it is very unlikely to receive one of your top five choices for an internship, even though the school claims almost every student will intern at one of their top three choices. I felt the school was more concerned with their status and ranking than for the success of their current students."

"The master of science program at my university was offered jointly by the graduate school and the medical school. The setup of the master's program maximized my academic experience by allowing me to interact and collaborate with both research-track (PhD) and medical (MD) students. The faculty members are top-notch experts in the fields, with strong publication record and exceptional mentorship experience. With the instructions and support from my faculty mentor, course directors, cohort student, and campus social network, I successfully completed the master's program and am continuing my career path as a lab scientist."

"It is a great university with plenty of resources"

"Wonderful place to go to school. Great campus, fun town to be a graduate student in."

"Going to the University of Michigan was the best decision I have ever made. It was the most incredible experience that I would not have been able to have anywhere else."

"Its big and you'll meet a lot of people from all over the world. In that regard, it is a great place to start your network which can become far reaching. If you want personal attention, don't. You are there to grow up."
