Jessica from Livonia, MI
I feel that this is a great school! You get a Michigan degree for a fraction of the price! Only complaint is student life, it sometimes doesn't really feel like a college campus that way U of M Ann Arbor or MSU do.
David from dearborn, MI
The campus is beautiful. The class sizes are small. The people here are VERY friendly.
