University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Campus

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.

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.

Typically you want to try and paint the rock once in your college career. Often student organizations, frats, sororities, or even just group of friends will decide to paint the rock for their organization or a certain event. It is a fun social event and a good bonding experience. The Rock is actually a glacier and holds a box of its history and origin under the gallons and gallons of paint.

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

This building really sticks out on campus with its architecture. It has some great areas inside to study but beware like every other place on Sundays it can get crowded.

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!

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

This is South Quadrangle. It is exclusively a dorm and is very close to West Quad and Central Campus.

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.

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.

Listen to an interview by an upperclassmen

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

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

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.

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.

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. ;)

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!

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.

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.
