What Students Are Saying

As one of the top public schools in the nation, we don't joke about the academic rigor. The exams are difficult, and you learn a lot more than you'll retain (naturally, that is). But this is good, because the information is really interesting and challenging at the same time.
Julia from Ann Arbor, MI
It depends on the school you're in, but they all share the general tone of, you guessed it: rigorous.
A Girl from Florida
The academics are definitely challenging at Michigan. Obviously it depends on what you study, but I would say that overall you are going to have to adjust your study habits if you don't already have them, and you're going to need to study A LOT. The math and science classes are especially rigorous, as well as the engineering classes.
