Great Experience although the classes, I currently enrolled felt the same rigorous as it was before when I begin my undergrad degree with Michigan State, both academically, intellectually and professionally consider outstanding. Where these public universities recognized around the world which brings prestigious values after graduation.

University of Michigan has a strong reputation nationally and internationally. The quality and plethora of graduate programs can not be beat by any other university. I graduated from the College of Pharmacy in 1997 and I have had employment ever since graduation. Living on and off campus was safe and the professors I encountered were all professional. I have very fond memories of the school. Go Blue!!!!

I was informed by everyone that I asked that it was an outstanding school. I went in with high expectations and UofM exceeded them easily! I loved going to school here! My degree got me a very good job right away. So, so happy I chose Michigan! And you get a bit of the four seasons which is an awesome experience for someone from the south.

I think the university of michigan is up there with stanford, and harvard when it comes to academics, and of course saturdays are like nothing else.
