Chloe Kipnis Student at This School - Grad Year 2014
Academics are rigorous, but you get out what you put in. Make sure to go to office hours. Most classes are small, although you'll have your share of large lectures of 200+. The workload can get overwhelming at times, but it teaches you how to manage your time.
Alexandra Banks Alumnus - Grad Year 2011
Science courses would have around 1800 students, but discussion sections would have around 10-15 students. All of my humanities courses had between 15-20 students. I found intro level course to be more challenging because the material was new to me and upper level courses to me more work depending on the professor. All classes have scheduled office hours. There is also a language learning center available and science learning center available to ask questions to graduate student instructors if you find approaching your professor to be intimidating. There are also several course that you can take that will take you outside of the class room. Some are connected to internships, others allow you to travel the US and the globe. For example my best friend took a course on African Art and ended up going to the Smithsonian to see the art up close that they had been studying all semester. Another example would be a sociology course I took that had us volunteering in the University of Michigan Hospital and keeping journal entries on our experiences.
