<p>Has anyone gone yet?
Did you find it helpful?
And do you think it's better to go by yourself or with a parent?
Before I register, if I do, knowing this info would be so helpful.
Thanks guys!</p>
<p>hey massgirl, I went already, it was my first time at Michigan so I would say it was really helpful lol. I suggest probably going with a parent, most everyone had a parent they brought along. It’s not like the students interact with one another a lot anyway. When I went, there was basically a general presentation, then you could pick if you wanted to see a financial aid presentation or go to this “Michigan difference” presentation. After that there was a housing presentation and then a part where students and parents are separated in order to ask questions. Last but not least, the tour! I did learn stuff from the presentations but it was an overwhelming amount of new info. The tour did really help though but just because it was my first time there. Hope this helps and if you go, enjoy it.</p>
<p>I went almost 2 weeks ago and it was really helpful. Go with a parent or with a friend’s family. My parents couldn’t make it so i made the trip with a friend. I found the most helpful to be the tour because it showed you more of the university and the residence halls. You get to eat in the residence halls so you can try the food. Go on a warm day and you can really enjoy the tour. Lastly, you go to your separate college presentations (CoE, LSA etc) and its a more in-depth presentations than those you might’ve seen.</p>
<p>Overall I found it to be worthwile. I saw the school on a typical school day and it was fun i guess!</p>
<p>Went last week. I’d say that 99% of the students were there with a parent/friend. </p>
<p>I thinks it definitely valuable if you’ve never been to campus before or are on the fence about attending Michigan. To me the info sessions and tours were pretty much the standard stuff but pumped up with some steroids. If you’re sticking with LS&A there is a session right after lunch that struck me as a re-hash of the morning session, though it was followed by more detailed breakout groups specific to programs within LS&A.</p>
<p>Conversely, if you’re planning on enrolling in one of the schools within Michigan other than LS&A there are special presentations and tours made by those schools but only on certain days. The day we attended Ross Business and Ford Public Policy Schools were giving tours and info sessions. My son hopes to attend Ross, so this focused presentation and tour was very valuable. Check the schedule on the admissions page to see if the school you want is presenting on the day you plan to attend.</p>
<p>After all the stress of applying and selling yourself to schools, the student day is about Michigan selling you on Michigan (by the end of the tour my son and I were both ready to scream if we heard the words “The Michigan Difference” one more time). If you’ve been here and are sold on Michigan you certainly aren’t going to see or hear anything to change your mind. If you’re not sure on you’re decision it could be very helpful.</p>
<p>I like campus days as a student here. The dining hall at Bursley always makes their most popular dishes when a tour group is eating there.</p>
