University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Campus

Listen to an interview by an upperclassmen

I misspoke during this video and called this ’the central area’ when it does in fact have a name— the diag haha. It is THE center for student engagement. If there is a protest it is most likely going to be there. During the winter there will be snow and the M will be covered, but the snow will show that nobody steps on the M. There is just this giant area of un-stepped-on snow.

The Hill is a collection of dorms surrounding Palmer Field (a large field with tennis courts and a track). There are many students living in this area and it is also marked as the place of CCRB the Central Campus Recreation Building aka fitness center.

Hey Campus Reel! My name is Kyle and I am a JR at the University of Michigan studying User Experience Design in the School of Information. The program I am in focuses on data manipulation, graphic design, building applications, user testing, and creating sustainable experiences. The School of Information only accepts applicants form students that are (college) sophomore standing, so unfortunately if you are a high school senior you can't enter it just yet, but you can still enroll at Umich and take classes in the school of Information! I hope you enjoy my videos on Campus Reel though!

This is a look into game days and what the sports arenas look like.

The gym located near the hill is the Central Campus Recreational Building(CCRB). There is also the Intramural Building located on South Campus.

So this is a little bit about my daily routine as a student and some of my opinions on this campus. Ann Arbor is definitely one of the more expensive campuses I’m not going to lie, but in my opinion It gives you some of the biggest bangs for your buck.

An event the first Friday of the school year where you can find different student organizations to join. Come early to get the prime pick of freebies.

The law quad is one of the prettiest quads on campus. It is quiet and secluded which makes it really nice to walk through and clear your head a little bit.

This is one of our college streets that has a bunch of restaurants, apartments, and bars. In this video I also show the Central Campus Transit Center.

At the law quad, you are sure to find people taking engagement, wedding, or graduation photos. The backdrop of the old buildings with the tall hovering trees makes for a great candid shot. Here you may also find the law library which is beautiful, but quiet.

One thing I appreciate at the University of Michigan is that it has taught me how to think. It is to be expected that we will forget a lot of the material taught in classes, but the way to approach different problems with different analytical and problem solving skills is a sure attribute I will take with me beyond college into the workforce and into life to continue learning.

Listen to my friend Natalie and her first impressions on Michigan!

Hello! My name is Josie. I am a Junior studying Public Health Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and minoring in Business at the Ross School of Business. I am super excited to be taking you around campus. Go Blue!

Bring a hammock to school and hammock on the diag! Now there is even wifi on the diag so you can work on your computer while hammocking!

The legend has it that when meeting someone alone in the middle of the arch at midnight (and maybe kissing) it means true love forever. So when you walk back or to UgLi look out for your soul mate. ;)

The iconic diag. Make sure not to step on the M (as it is bad luck for your first blue book exam) as you meet friends, check out clubs, and participate in demonstrations.

A central building that holds many different classes, offices (e.g. Newman Academic Advising, Sweetland Peer Writing), and student organization's meetings.

This is North Quadrangle located on Central Campus. It is close to South State St. and the Modern Language Building.

This video quickly shows three important buildings on campus. Many lectures and classrooms are inside these buildings on central campus.

Michigan has some big lectures but they try to make them interactive with iClicker questions and sometimes dividing up those huge lectures into discussions usually led by GSIs (Graduate Student Instructors). The big lectures can range from 80-500 students and the discussion are typically 20-30 students.
