One of the world's premiere academic institutions. Arguably the best public university in the nation with a total of 40,000 students, both undergraduate and graduate. Michigan has top-ranked programs in law, business, medicine, political science, and an array of other subjects. Virtually no area at Michigan is ranked below the top 20 in the country, allowing for it to rival the Ivy league as well as the other selective private institutions despite its high admission rate (47%).

Home to Michigan Stadium, colloquially termed "The Big House", the University of Michigan is also known for its legendary football, hockey, and formerly its basketball team (We all remember the Fab 5).

Michigan is one of the country's leaders in athletics, academics, and college life in general--located in beautiful Ann Arbor. You simply cannot go wrong with the University of Michigan.

An awesome school located in Ann Arbor, Michigan: a great city and a kickass college town with some of the most lenient marijuana laws in the nation. Despite its moderately high admission rate (47%), it is arguably one of the best public universities in the world. In 2008, it was the highest ranked public university in the nation, according to World University Rankings. The students here really know how to have fun, but realize that school is about getting an education. Most everyone here has that "work-hard, play-hard" mentality.
The University of Michigan is the best public university in the nation and Ann Arbor is one of the coolest towns in Michigan!!!

(1) Best school in Michigan, one of the Public Ivy Leagues, with medical, business and engineering schools in the top ten. World renowned professors and researchers.

(2) Does not seriously consider Michigan State a rival, despite MSU's sad, desperate, single-sided rivalry with UM. No, seriously.

(3) Used interchangeably with Ann Arbor.
State kids: "The University of Michigan sucks. The kids are snobs and I wouldn't want to go there anyway. In fact, I was accepted but chose not to go, this way I can party my way through college and become employed by a University of Michigan graduate; I believe this makes me the bigger person."

UM kids: "Ohio State sucks."

State kids: "Ann Arbor's a whore."

UM kids: "If Ann Arbor's a whore, why didn't you get in?"

A school where most of the students are smart enough to care about something beyond sports.
In this sense, University of Michigan is unlike most "schools" in the Midwest.
