What I love most about U-M: What I love most about U-M: Even though we’re on a pretty big campus, the community that you feel within U-M can be so incredible. There are countless ways for students to get involved in different groups:
clubs, the greek system, church life, intramural sports, even just events in your residence hall. I’ve built so many communities here that have helped me survive the stresses of college. And it’s great to walk across the Diag and run into 2 or 3 people you know!
