University of Michigan - Flint Reviews

"University of Michigan-Flint is temple of learning where all the faculty are very much supportive and helping students to reach their goal. However,the campus life is pleasant but the surrounding atmosphere is not safe. The public safety is good but still have some blind holes where it's not safe."

"I have enrolled for Fall 2014 in University of Michigan-Flint. The school is awesome and provides all facilities to complete graduation successfully with out any hick ups. Thank You, Sarath"

"A great asset is that many of the professors have real life experience working in the field that they are teaching in."

"The program i am in is very hands on. We are actually working in city high schools. A negative that we are off campus making for a long commute."

"The good things about my graduate programs are: 1) Good Money 2) Opportunities to meet new people 3) Opportunities to develop good leadership skills 4) Become part of USA business world and competition 5) Value Time 6) Hiring rate for this program is high The bad things about my graduate program are: 1) Fast paced life 2) Hectic schedules"

"At U of M Flint, my facilitators have been accessible at all times for advising and for support with the coursework. I've grown to have great relationships with all of my professors. My only complaint for the school is having to call in to different departments and getting "the run around," before an issue can be resolved but I had that same experience in undergrad at EMU so I guess it just comes with the territory. Thats my complaint. On the upside, this pass summer I was able to study abroad in Beijing, China as part of a teacher intership program. This experience has forever changed me as an educator and gives me a better perspective of teaching throughout the world.Read Less"

"I am an online student, so most of the questions did not apply to me. My DNP program is wonderful. Instructors are great and always willing to help. This is an intense program, but will be well worth the struggle when it is all over!"

"The Graduate Program at University of Michigan is a well known, competitive and advance program. The faculty and staff provide great support and encouragement to assist students in their overall achievements. I am glad that I am enrolled student."

"The most effective course of study for my degree program would be for the college to provide a Graduate degree in History, but it does not offer that. There are many plusses to attending UmFlint. The best being the faculty and their passion for their students and their student's careers. The faculty and administration are always on hand when needed. They can be trusted to put you on the right path and steer you in the right direction. I am glad that I chose UmFlint Graduate program."

"Safety and security in the surrounding areas for a student to move alone is low. Studies, the faculty and the library are good. The cost of living is a bit high. Getting a chance to go for graduation is a boon for me and I want to utilize it to the maximum. I need too be extra careful and cautious in all the aspects when i am in this town."

"The program is good and useful but the only thing is the high tution fees without any scholarship or financial aid."

"I have completed one year towards my DNP degree, and I am very satisfied with the program at UM-Flint. The program is based mostly online, yet the instructors still maintain great communication with thier students."

"So far, my experience at the University has been great! The faculty are amazing and accessible. The academic programs fit the needs of the area and have the ability to work in changing demographics. I received my undergraduate from the University of Michigan-Flint and am now back to complete my graduate degree. The University is located in a not-so-safe area in Michigan but there are many visible police officers and security throughout the campus. My overall experience at the University has been a very positive experience!Read Less"

"The major con to this school is that there is not a lot of financial help available from the school. Graduate students do not have much opportunity to receive financial assistance."

"Faculty here are amazing and leaders in the industry. Furthermore, their "open door policy" is legitimate and incredibly helpful for their students."

"The Physical Therapy Program at the University of Michigan-Flint is very competitive and the quality of education is excellent. Almost all students pass their board exams on the first try, unless there are extenuating circumstances (health reasons etc.). The faculty in the department prepare us to be excellent physical therapists!"

"I commute to U of MFlint to save money, so the surrounding areas and social aspects are limited for me. Otherwise, the faculty are knowledgeable and helpful, coursework is very interesting and has a good level of challenge without being overwhelming. The instructors are knowledgeable and most work in the field while teaching. This brings a real life feel to the coursework because information can readily be discussed in terms of current clinic issues. I have learned an incredible amount in a short time, and look forward to a great education in the coming years.Read Less"

"I think that if there were more people living near campus and together that there would be a better connect between students as well as between students and professors."

"The staff and faculty of the Biology department are very approachable. They specialize in a wide range of research interests given the size of the institution. There are many research resources and instruments, and opportunities for internal funding. The cons have to do with the surrounding community. While the university is actively reaching out to the community, and developing the surrounding area, the infrastructure is poor and there is an abnormal rate of violent crime. However, the campus very safe, and the immediate area surrounding it is ripe with progressive businesses.Read Less"

"The graduate nursing program at the University of Michigan-Flint is best in its class. The courses offer the highest quality evidenced based theory, learning and practice methods. Faculty are experts in the field of nursing. They are experienced, knowledgeable, open minded, easy to contact and receptive to students. The program utilizes many technological methods to allow for online learning and campus/faculty accessibility for students across the country. The financial aid office is very helpful, and in addition the university offers many types of aid (grants, scholarships, loans) that are specific to graduate nursing students. Because I am an online student I do not often access the campus housing, social activities, or surrounding areas but feel as though those areas of life are well displayed at the university as well. Most importantly I feel as though upon program completion I will have had the best graduate nursing education in the country.Read Less"
