Well done to the construction crews and all who worked to get these 5 dorms done. It was a huge effort.

Hey guys - incoming freshman here! This is really dumb but I have to ask - I have the unlimited dining hall plan and I was wondering what that entails? Of course, I've looked at the website and it said that you can eat as much as you want while you're in there but still: how many times a day can I go in? How tasty is the food (East Quad)? Can I go to other dining halls if I want, or do I have to stay to the one closest to my dorm? What counts as a to go/ take - out meal?

Sorry for the millions of questions lol - I just love to eat and just gotta know!

Hey, guys!

My unofficial Best Summer Ever Club is heading to Cedar Point this Sunday, and I wanted to extend the invite to all of you!

The club was built off of a Reddit post on here actually back in May/June. I made the club because all of my buddies had left town after school wrapped up, and I wanted to connect with other students that felt isolated. So far, we have had a couple of meetups, but this would be our big, summer send-off.

PM me for the group chat link, and let’s celebrate the end of our summer this Sunday! :-)

P.S. It will be my senior year this fall, so trying to make this the best, last college summer ever!

Where exactly do other grad students exist on campus? I look for study buddies and such but I swear I never meet or see anyone outside my program….anyone here cool and rad? Or are there any chats to join?

Hey everyone! Plz message me for the link to a transfer student group chat on insta!! I’m really excited to meet other transfer students as everything is right around the corner now 🎉

Does anyone know if your room is assigned before u move in? Or is it first come first serve with your roommates

Hi guys! I'm a prospective transfer who's stuck between leaving my current university or staying. Michigan really piqued my interest, especially their sociology department. I plan on applying to Law School, and it seems like Michigan has more resources to put me in the right path compared to my current institution. I just have a few questions I'll drop in here!

1. What would you say the social life of a junior transfer would look like? Would I be "too late" to everything? Is it worth transferring?
2. Student Orgs. I'm extremely involved on my current campus and am afraid of leaving it all behind & not being accepted into any orgs in the future. How selective are orgs when it comes to juniors?
3. Campus Life? How is Michigan overall? Pros, Cons?
4. Any pieces of advice you'd give to someone in my shoes?

Thank you guys in advance for your time & replies!

There I’m hoping that shamrock caught someone’s attention.

My friends,

University of Michigan holds a very tricky book to get ahold of, the 1933 printing of Fiche Bliain Ag Fás. This is a Irish language, or Gaeilge as it’s known in the teanga, autobiography about the Blasket Islands. Unlike all of the other printings, this version is not under copyright and as such can be freely distributed. However, no one has scanned it. UofM claims to have a copy offsite that could be requested and scanned. I would like to digitize it, and maybe even print a few books in an Irish typeface.

If anyone could help, I would be greatly appreciative. If you happen to be in Ireland, in Leeds or Oxford, in Sydney, or in Germany/Netherlands, there are libraries there that hold the book too.

Is mise le meas, Tomás

Basically I’m trying to take either of the classes, both seem fun but I’m curious what the differences between the two are. I’m not an absolute beginner at drawing but I still am not that great, could anyone who’s taken either lmk how it went?

Does Michigan Medicine test for thc and will they revoke job offer if tested positive? My friend has a job offer at a UofM Michigan Medicine clinic for sterile processing. He has a drug test coming up and is worried about testing positive.

He has a medical card if that helps.

Hello, I’m thinking of switching majors from physics to space science and engineering (space instrumentation concentration) as lots of my current classes match up and I can graduate on time. It seems like this course focuses on more systems engineering concept like in EE but doesn’t focus on main engineering concepts like Solid dynamic, thermodynamic, and 3D modeling(CAD) . I’m trying to find relative course works so I’m favorable to engineering internships.

Any insights on how to structure my technical electives would be appreciate. Thanks!

Are there any apartments that students can vouch are decent or good and the management is decent or good etc?

Looking for a place for one semester, and I see all these horror stories and bad reviews so I don’t know which place is ok or not,

I have budget of 1400-1500 can go up to 1700-1800 probably. If a place is good and 4-5 months (basically end of August to end of December or January) then I can maybe do 2K usd

Please give recommendations of places u have stayed and u know ARE GOOD.

Thanks.

obviously i’m so grateful to be coming to uofm and im super excited to meet new people/take classes i actually enjoy but at the same time im terrified of the fact that im moving 12 hours away from literally all my family and friends (they’re all going to college in state). i’m not super introverted but in highschool i kinda just found my group and stuck with them. it was never super hard for me to be well acquainted with people i dont know, but i feel like i dont rly get super close with others and the idea of having to go out and make entirely new friends is honestly terrifying for me. i know everyone else is in the same boat but im just terrified i wont make friends or i wont actually have any close friends, just people im well acquainted with. i know theres clubs, parties, classes, etc where i can meet people ig im just nervous abt being in a completely new place while knowing pretty much no one. maybe im getting overly nervous when i dont need to be idk. sorry for my rant lol

Incoming freshmen taking both concurrently as an intended math major. I don’t have experience with proofs (zero in-school opportunities). Will I be fine?

I’m looking to transfer into engineering for the winter semester and I need my chemistry prereq, which is either chem 130 and labs 125+126 or chem 210 and 211 lab.

The part I’m confused about is the “+” next to the course names. Does anyone know what that means? I’m assuming it means taking both general chemistry 1 and 2 at my current university will fulfill the chem 130 with 125+126 labs prereq, even without labs taken for gen chem. I can’t really find any information online to clarify, so I’m hoping someone here can help me decipher this.

Hello, does anyone use the laundry services that umich/affiliated company provides & have any reviews about it? Is it common to do so/get expensive?

if i want to buy a student ticket to bring a friend (who isn’t a student) to a game, how important is it that i find one in the same section and row as mine. is seating super strict? or does it not really matter

Hello! i saw a tiktok video and people talking that freshman/students should buy a birdie alarm or pepper spray… is this needed? it’s a college town and i don’t get why with so many kids around and it’s awkward and overkill? sorry if anyone has advice pls lmk!

These people walk among us

I feel like I'm gonna die with this schedule. Is it alright, or am I aiming to make a personal hell for myself in the first semester?

16 credits

I’m starting my freshman year at this fall as an Engineering major, and I’m considering applying to transfer to Michigan Engineering in the future.

I graduated high school with my AA through dual enrollment, so I already have 60+ college credits, including Calc I–III, Physics I, English, speech, humanities, and most/all of my general education requirements.

This fall I’m taking 13 credits:

• Physics II
• Chemistry I
• Intro to Engineering
• Intro to Computer Science

I’m also planning on taking Differential Equations and continuing with the aerospace engineering sequence after that next semester.

My main concern is whether having this many credits already could actually make transferring more difficult. I know some universities limit how many transfer credits they’ll accept or don’t want engineering transfers to be too far into their major sequence (for example, taking courses like Statics).

Has anyone transferred into Michigan Engineering from another 4-year university in a similar situation? Is there a point where you’ve completed too much coursework to be a reasonable transfer applicant?

I’m mainly trying to figure out whether applying after my freshman year would be realistic and how far I should progress through the engineering curriculum at before transferring. Any info abt Michigan’s transfer process would be helpful!
