University of Michigan (U‑M), Ann Arbor : Overview, Courses, Scholarships & Rankings
About University of Michigan
On crisp fall Saturdays the city hums from the Diag to the stadium, but weekdays are all about ideas. The Ann Arbor campus is known for strength across STEM, the social sciences, the arts and humanities, and health fields, with a research culture that pulls students into real projects. You'll find expansive libraries, busy labs and studios, makerspaces, and a law quad with storybook courtyards. Advising, tutoring, and counseling are easy to reach, and the rec centers keep things moving when winter settles in.
Student life spans a lively arts scene, service groups, cultural orgs, student media, and plenty of intramurals. Trails and the river offer quick escapes, and downtown's bookstores, coffee shops, and festivals bring a friendly, creative buzz. Career prep leans on a far-reaching alumni community and regular recruiter visits, with internships in town, Detroit, and well beyond. And traditions run strong, from the Block M superstition to game-day pageantry. Notable alumni include Gerald Ford, Larry Page, and James Earl Jones.
