University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Campus

There are many different lectures and events going on all the time during the school year. I remember some of my favorite lectures were out of the classroom and somewhere else on campus.

In between classes is a great time to study and there are study spots ALL over campus. I tend to like places with sunlight, large desk space, and relatively quiet noise levels. This place at Ross which is a quiet study zone is one of my favorites. I also like the bottom level in the School of Social Work, 4th floor of DANA, and the 4th floor of Taubman Library.

The University of Michigan is composed of many different schools. The biggest one is the School of Literature, Science, and the Arts, LSA for short. This holds most of the majors. Other schools include the Engineering School, Ross School of Business, Ford School of Public Policy, School of Information, Architecture School, STAMPS, School of Public Health, and more. Some of these schools you apply to once you get into the school such as the School of Information or in my case the School of Public Health and they might have a program for Junior and Senior year students.

This is a look into the Lawyers Quad and library. The law library is a famous spot on campus not only because it is one of the quietest places on campus but also because of the beauty of the interior.

Shinola is a leather goods provider based out of Detroit. They have been known for being offbeat and classy at the same time— just like Detroit. This coffeeshop is kind of a secret gem of Ann Arbor and I have had trouble finding it in the past, but since it is difficult to find that also means that not many people know about it which means that the coffeeshop is often empty.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

Listen to my close friend share her opinion on Michigan. "Work Hard, Play Hard" - a great way to describe the culture of this school

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

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. ;)

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

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