Embrace the enormity of the University of Michigan
Before coming to the University of Michigan, I constantly heard the phrase “it’s a big campus, but you can make it smaller.” The phrase is supposed to assuage incoming students’ fears that a campus with 33,000 undergraduate students is too big for a student to figure out their place in it. After spending eight months and two semesters in Ann Arbor, I can say that campus feels impossibly big and small at the same time. However, this size has allowed me to find my niche.
Freshman 15, working out and staying healthy in college
The summer before my freshman year, I was in the best shape of my life. I worked out five days a week, lifting weights and running multiple miles. I was eating well. I started noticing muscle in places I never had before. Surely, I could continue this regimen in college with no problem, right?

Michigan College First With Their Own Cocktail
Over the last couple of years, many states have passed laws granting colleges and universities the right to apply for licenses to sell alcoholic beverages at their sports facilities. Michigan joined that list of states last year in 2023 and instantly many schools applied and received permits for all or many of their sports facilities. This would increase their concession sales as fans could enjoy drinks while watching their favorite team.
Dorm Data: The Numbers Behind Freshmen Living
Each year, The Michigan Daily conducts a freshmen survey to ask first-year students a variety of questions about their new experiences at the University of Michigan. Between time spent studying, roommates and sex lives, nothing is off the table. For the 2024 orientation edition, we took a second look at the data collected from 685 respondents in last year’s survey to focus on one of the biggest transitions for a first-year college student: life in the dorms.

It will also provide a better understanding of student perspectives.
‘Where are you from?’ and other questions: Rantings of an Ann Arbor native
This question echoed throughout campus during the first few weeks of my freshman year. Whether it was in orientation groups, discussion sections, frat basements or wherever else I went in the early weeks of the fall of freshman year, I couldn’t escape it. Often sandwiched between “What’s your name?” and “What’s your major?”, this question seemed to be a mutually agreed upon prompt for all introductory small talk at the University of Michigan.

It’s great to have Plan B courses
Since the University of Michigan is a highly-ranked institution, you might think things will run smoothly during your first year. Well, I’m going to tell you that there might be major bumps, and it might be more than simply struggling with what to major or minor in. But, that’s okay.

Know your major, know yourself
When you started the college application process, you took a whole slew of factors into consideration. You looked at where the school is located, its football team’s statistics and the variety of student organizations it has on campus. Despite these fun and seemingly inconsequential characteristics, one thing tends to come out on top when selecting your university: the possible majors you could pursue.
Take easy classes, join more clubs
The summer between your senior year of high school and freshman year of college is accompanied by a unique feeling: something familiar is ending, and you only have a very faint idea of what comes next. Your education will no longer be defined by other people. Up to this point, adults have decided your class schedule, telling you when to eat lunch, when to go to the bathroom and when to go home. Leaving that rigidity behind is both exciting and frightening. You’re the adult now — no one calls your parents if you don’t show up to lecture.
‘They don’t care about us’: Students hurt, confused by Michigan college’s downsizing
ANN ARBOR, MI - Kaleigh McClelland enrolled at her dream school last fall, joining the defending national champion softball team at Concordia University Ann Arbor.
