Visiting...

<p>I'm going to visit UM of next week. I already found a place to stay. Can you guys tell me how I can get to talk to profs in the bio department, take a tour of the bio dep? Also, are there any good programs next week? What places on campus should I see?</p>

<p>Anybody???</p>

<p>Uhh... Next week is the last full week of classes so a lot of us are going to be studying. However, there is always something happening around campus. I just can't think of anything majorly amazing going on next week. </p>

<p>Check around Michigan's web site for names, etc. of people in the bio department. See if you can find an e-mail address or two, and contact them. I'm sure they (or someone that they know) will be more than willing to show you the department.</p>

<p>You can just walk into the bio department and ask for someone to show you around and i'm sure they'll be happy to. Places to see on campus: Big house/Crisler Arena, Law Quad, Union, South U and State Street areas, Diag, Hill area, (north campus if you're going into engineering).</p>

<p>Go to Crazy Jim's Blimpie Burger for lunch, you won't regret it.</p>

<p>A2Wolves may have just lied to you there. In fact, it's quite possible you will regret it; either upon eating it or 4-5 hours later. On the other hand, it may just be the most rewarding experience in your entire life.</p>

<p>I lie to a lot of people.</p>

<p>I was at the art fair, and ate at Crazy Jims. I had difficulty walking the 3 blocks back to the Library, lol.</p>

<p>But it's soooooooo good. But it's soooooooo bad for you. I heard you lose a day of your life eating there.</p>

<p>You have to go to Zingermann's! Best Deli West of NYC! hehe You should also walk up and down Main and South University streets. Grab a pizza from NYPD (New York Pizza Depot!).</p>

<p>Blimpie Burger is definitely a must. Also check out the backroom, even though it's always packed with drunk students, their pizza is phenomenal and only $1/slice! See a movie at the Michigan Theatre.</p>

<p>I would recommend that you set up a meeting with a prof in advance. Just pick two or three that are working in an area that interests you, and send them an email. I bet one of them would be happy to meet with you. You're going to be going on a tour -- so you'll see lots of the highlights on that. Otherwise, I would say walk around State St and South Univ, eat in a residence hall, check out the U-M website to see what events may be going on. You may also want to hop on a University bus and just ride around. They're free.</p>

<p>Check out the student union and walk be sure to walk around the diag area</p>

<p>Does visiting UM help your chances of being admitted? or is that not factored in?</p>

<p>Visiting isn't factored in.</p>

<p>Go to Blimpie's. By the intersection of Madison, Packard, and Division. Just go.</p>

<p>BLIMPIE'S IS AWESOMENESS!!!</p>

<p>Unfortunately, Michigan boys are <em>much</em> cheaper than Alabama boys. However, you do get cool $2 bills and half-dollar coins in your change.</p>

<p>visit law quad :]
that was my favorite place when i visited.</p>

<p>and just walk around the diag and the clock tower.</p>

<p>Oh, you're a Floridian. Sigh. I give in. Jimmy John's is better and cheaper than any sub place we have in the South.</p>

<p>Yeah, Law Quad, Diag/Angell Hall is the most picturesque part, especially with that big box that rotates (what?), if you get a chance the Stadium/Basketball arena/Ice Hockey arena are good places to visit.</p>

<p>Football stadium is closed for construction, last I checked, and I don't think Crisler is generally open to the public. Yost should be open, since ice rinks are in demand a little more than basketball courts/football fields.</p>

<p>The spinning cube is in Regent's Plaza kinda behind the union and near the Student Activities Building.</p>

<p>Only portions of the field are closed from what I remember. I haven't run the steps in a while, but I did it a few months ago and they closed only a bit.</p>

<p>By the way, don't get any ideas. Running the stadium steps stinks. They start off small, then increase in height each step. And there are 72 rows. You get in the 50s and you are tired, and it only gets harder. Oh the agony, I did it every week.</p>

<p>wow, this thread is old.</p>
