U Michigan HELP

<p>I recently got accepted into the University of Michigan.
I do not really know that much about this school and was wondering if anyone could answer some questions.</p>

<p>1) I know UMichigan is highly ranked (26) but, is it that good all around?
2) How is UMichigan such a good school, when intro courses are taught by GSI/TA?
3) Why are classes taught by GSI?
4) UMichigan is such a large school, does its degree still have a powerful weight?
5) A lot of reviews say that it has a "pretentious" environment, what dose this mean?
6) At such a large school is it every man/woman for him/herself?
7) At such a large school is it difficult to adapt?
8) In the end does it matter that you went to a slightly higher ranked school like UMich
rather than a slightly lower ranked school like Penn State.
9)Does UMichigan have good counselors/advisors that can help you, or are they bogged 10)down by the vast student body.
11)Is the atmosphere more or less friendly, or does a certain type of student "fit" better there?
12)Is UMichigan worth the money of an out of state student?
13)Does UMichigan have a good Premed track?
14)Is it hard to get good grades?
15)If you had to rate UMichigan on a 1-10 scale what would you give it?</p>

<p>I know there are a lot of questions, but any answers would be appreciated.
I hope you guys get in too!</p>
