<p>Living Arts:</p>
<p>I've just received an e-mail invitation to apply. Right now I'm looking at their website, but I can't get a real touch of how the program works. Is it worth it? I'm on CoE btw.</p>
<p>I’m thinking about it also… from what I understand they just all live in Bursely and they have to take a one credit course. Basically it’s just a group of people interested in the arts/engineering and architecture who do projects and live together.</p>
<p>Any input from UMich students?</p>
<p>I’m not in it, but many of my friends are. The course itself is apparently pretty easy, and they are a nice community of people. The big downside is that you have to live in Bursley.</p>
<p>But what’s the point of the program anyway?</p>

<p>urm…having an outlet for creativity/having a dorm community?</p>
<p>Does that means no advantages at all from the standard programs?</p>
<p>Sorry, I’ll bump this again.</p>
<p>Does any UMich student have an insight whether the Living Arts program is worth it? What’s the academic point of joining the program?</p>
<p>I would like a response to this as well. I’m a prospective junior transfer and the community itself looks like something I would want to be a part of…mainly because I will not know anyone on campus and would want a “group” of sorts to try and meet people. As far as meeting people, living in Bursley doesn’t seem so bad- plus I hear the food is good.</p>
<p>My concern is applying to join only to discover that this is predominantly a freshman crowd…</p>
<p>Does anyone know if many upperclassmen join living arts? Would it be weird for me to join as a junior?</p>
