So much fun to be at this school. Bc like ofc we get the bougey chalk, it only makes sense!

Separately, if anyone within the Michigan Math sphere of influence knows where a chill guy like myself can get my hands on a stick or two, I'd be endlessly grateful.

Hello everybody.

I'm going to be studying engineering this fall, and was wondering how easy it is to make friends.

I could be a pretty awkward guy sometimes and be pretty social at others, and I stutter often as I have a speech issue where I talk pretty fast and might have to repeat what I say which makes me feel stupid. It has put me in a lot of embarrassing situations.

I've never had much friends growing up, but it's always been something I've enjoyed and would love to make a few (or a lot) of friends to both make college and my future and more enjoyable path.

Thanks!

UMich won its one, and ONLY, NCAA Men's Basketball Final in 1989 (21% of US households watched back then), which had been 70 or 80 years in the making. Let that sink in. Once in like three quarters of a century.

Nearly 10,000 viewers of that 1989 U.S. televised game were born in the 1800s, and hundreds of thousands of viewers' beloved, departed grandparents had been born prior to Abraham Lincoln becoming President. Charlie Chaplin, star of silent motion pictures, had been living just a dozen years prior.

A quarter of the 1989 game viewers recalled a time earlier in their lives when a slight majority of Americans didn't have indoor plumbing. At the start of 1989, 85% of Americans had never had a computer, and the World Wide Web didn't exist. 99% of Americans had never had a "mobile" phone. Poland was communist, run by the USSR out of Moscow, and Berlin was divided by a wall, bolstered by barbed wire, soldiers and landmines. Ronald Reagan still was President at the start of 1989.

Bo Schembechler was the current UMich football coach. UMich All American forward Glen Rice (a STUDENT) had just a season earlier profoundly rearranged the lower&mid abdominal organs of PROFESSIONAL sports reporter, prayer in public schools advocate, future Governor and GOP VP nominee, Sarah Palin, at The Great Alaska Shootout (where UMich lost to UAriz 😭).

Brothers and Sisters, please hear me: A Wolverines basketball Championship comes along MAYBE once or twice in a lifetime. Do NOT miss a minute of this Final Four on Saturday and, God willing(!), on Monday. It might possibly be your last chance.

The Fab 5 are reuniting for the first time, 30+ years after their bitter breakup, to watch together. Look, and listen thru the background noise to 245LB beefcake Will Tschetter (a sage UMich Grad student who finished UMich Undergrad in 3yrs)--- https://www.reddit.com/r/MichiganWolverines/s/JFu0BRJw21 It's THIS monumental. Lock the f*** in. Go Blue!

Hello folks,

I was just recently admitted to LSA as a non traditional transfer student. I’m currently 27 years old and have spent the last 8 years in the military.

I know I won’t have a college experience in the traditional sense, but I was curious how others in a similar position as me have found it to make friends. I certainly plan to join clubs and my biggest fear is being stuck in a military/vet population. I’m trying to separate that from my identity and become someone known for their interests/hobbies/goals rather than the military guy.

I will probably opt to live off campus, but I fully intend to go to bars, become involved in campus events and activities, and all of that stuff.

I also would like to eventually get roommates after the first semester so I don’t spiral into becoming the old recluse on the block.

Anyways, if you have been in a similar position I’m open to hearing the positives and negatives of adjusting to being a full time student and building a social life from scratch.

Cheers!

pleaseeeee play tennis with me pleassseeee

Why? What’s the deal?

hey everyone, i'm an admitted (but not enrolled) student trying to apply for the four-year renewable scholarships. i'm pretty sure i'm meant to do this through my friend account on okta, but my okta account is only showing settings. what am i meant to do?

here's the picture for reference. i feel like i've looked everywhere for some kind of answer but i haven't found anything, and i'm really stressed out about it because the scholarship deadline is less than a week from now. please help!!!

Currently this seems like the best option for me next semester as I have all my intellectual breadth and general electives done. I didn't struggle at all in 280 and am doing great in engr100 microprocessors and toys. I'm mostly concerned about the combined workload even if I don't find topics too challenging.

I got accepted into UMich as part of the LEAPS program in the School of Education. I applied as a psych/poli sci major at every other college, and I'm primarily interested in psych research, as well as implementing mental health initiatives within communities and schools. I originally applied to LEAPS because I thought it sounded interesting and relevant to what I want to pursue, but now I'm worried since the major is very new and experimental, and there isn't much insight into what careers grads can get. I don't want to miss out on the foundational concepts that a traditional psych degree might provide and I don't want to be limited to an educational framework.

The first year of LEAPS requires living on the Marygrove campus and not Ann Harbor, and seems more of a cohort-style program. I was wondering if it would be possible to switch my major before attending to not complicate the process with housing. If anyone has any insight into the process of switching colleges, or the LEAPS program in general, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hey r/uofm,

We're four lads heading to umich this fall for a semester exchange at Ross School of Business and are having a genuinely hard time finding furnished housing on a 4-month lease. We've tried the usual platforms, contacted a lot of places, and keep hitting the 12-month wall. Even tried splitting into groups of two.

Does anyone have experience navigating this as an exchange student, or know of landlords, platforms, or communities that are actually open to semester-length stays?

We're some Danish guys, 22+, quiet and easy to deal with. Happy to hear from anyone subletting too.

Any tips would go a long way, thanks.

Hey folks! I was recently admitted to Michigan’s SMTD under their music scholarship. In order to keep it, I have to join an ensemble they offer for my major.

The one that I’m drawn to the most is the Electronic Chamber Music ensemble! I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the course/ensemble, performances, etc? I’d love to hear about it [:

Anyone have easy ULWR course recommendations for the fall?

Will be a CompE junior in the fall. I would only be taking these three classes.

current plan for fall 26 (i’ll be a junior) is taking eecs 281, eecs 216, and eecs 472, does anyone have any words of wisdom or insight into this schedule?

mainly just wondering about course load, exams, projects, etc lining up

currently taking eecs 373 and eecs 470 this sem and workload is high but im not fully overwhelmed. i did eecs 215, 270, 370 (+physics 240) last sem and got really burnt out/hated my life because exams were always back to back

Hey guys, I’m thinking of doing calc 3 at wcc over the summer. I’m not sure if that’s going to negatively impact me however as a meche major. Do you think I’d be better off doing it in umich and suffering?

Thanks!

hi i’m a 1st year and i got all 4’s on my ap bio, lang, and apush exams last year. i’m also taking ap stats, lit, psych, and micro this year

i got admitted into smtd but am hoping to add an econ major in lsa once im there- assuming i pass all my ap’s this year, which of the 1st year course requirements are the best/most worth it to test out of?

I’m debating which one of these combinations to take next fall. It would be with 1-2 LSA courses. I wanna get these all done next year but I’m also trying to keep my workload lower in the fall for recruiting. Obviously recruiting can also go on in the winter but it’s most busy in the fall so that’s my thought process rn
