Who Thrives at Michigan?
Michigan has what most big public schools don't: genuine academic ambition combined with the resource base of a top-10 university. The Ross MBA is a feeder to Wall Street and consulting. The College of Engineering is a serious research institution. Ann Arbor is small enough to feel like a college town but close enough to Detroit's resurgent automotive and tech scene to matter for industry careers. International students describe the campus as exceptionally welcoming - the sheer size means there is a community for everyone. For international students who want broad academic depth across multiple schools (business + engineering, or law + policy), Michigan is unusually well-configured.
