<p>“Could you describe in aspects Michigan college experience is better than the others’?”</p>
<p>This is obviously personal and will very wildly from person to person. What made Michigan so applealing to me was the following:</p>
<p>1) Friendly, down-to-earth students. I clearly felt it when I visited the campus before making my decision. I got the same vibe when I visited Brown, Chicago and Cornell, but none of the other schools I was admitted to had that sort of welcoming atmosphere.</p>
<p>2) Lively and spirited campus with happy and proud students</p>
<p>3) Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor! I have travelled to over 40+ countries, visited over 100 cities, lived in Paris, London, New York, Berlin and spent much time in Barcelona, San Francisco, Montreal and Chicago and even then, I still find Ann Arbor to be very appealing, charming, intellectual…and, for lack of a better word, magical.</p>
<p>4) Huge alum base that is omnipresent. No matter what country, city, industry or company, Michigan alums will be found anywhere and everywhere, often in a position of influence and almost always willing to lend a hand to a fellow Wolverine.</p>
<p>5) Finally, and this is personal to me as an international student; Globally, Michigan’s reputation is hard to beat, but that was the case with half the universities I was seriously considering.</p>
<p>Ironically, I knew nothing of Michigan’s athletic tradition until after classes began…but it turned out to be another great addition to the Michigan experience.</p>
