University of Michigan Vibe

<p>Here is one very thin “slice”: <a href=“http://static.echonest.com/HowStudentsListen/school.html?school=university%20michigan%20ann%20arbor”>http://static.echonest.com/HowStudentsListen/school.html?school=university%20michigan%20ann%20arbor&lt;/a&gt; wherein you can compare listening styles.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that Michigan has an insane number of student clubs…something like 1,200 different student “organizations”…if you can conceptualize it, you can find it at Michigan. It isn’t clear to me that the culture is a monoculture…there is a lot of stuff going on…the first challenge is, do you know yourself well enough to sample from the huge menu. The second challenge will be are you flexible enough to mutate and take advantage of all that there is to offer without compromising your grade point? </p>
