Why Michigan?
Anyone who is willing to
challenge themselves and
explore who they are will do
well at Michigan. The
opportunity to experiment
and try things out is
unparalleled. The U of M
won’t hand you an
experience, but if you’re
willing to go out and find it,
you will love this University
with all of your heart…”
