A wholesome place to learn.

Tips: Being an international student here has its own set of challenges and unique experiences. The cost of studying and living here is expensive. There are good academic systems in place here such as office hours, peer tutoring and more. Lots of student events and resources to help with homesickness.

Very interesting classes.

Tips: The city is beautiful, filled with students as well as fellow Indians so there is a sense of familiarity. The research projects are quite thorough and invaluable, but you are expected to know the fundamentals of things before you arrive. The campus culture is quite fun and inclusive and sports here are such a big deal. Chances of staying solely depend on job offers.

MS Computer Science and Engineering - Batch of 2026

University of Michigan is multi dimensional with good academics.

Tips: Students should not stress about their studies or other things, as things will happen automatically. Instead, students should be active and explore as many things as they can. There are almost 20 activities offered each week at the college, and students should participate in them all.

Likes (Post study jobs): There are many companies available which are providing visa sponsorship. Students can get good jobs with a good paycheck if they have some domain knowledge and expertise. All sectors are good here to get some good jobs but mainly, automotive and electrical.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The public transportation system at the University of Michigan is not very well connected, and there are very few options available. Students mostly use the college shuttle bus to get to and from campus or go shopping. Other than that, students can't rely on public transportation and have to book a cab, as there is no other option.

Thriving in a diverse and challenging academic environment.

Tips: Students should be prepared for a rigorous academic environment, plenty of extracurricular activities, and a diverse student body. Time management is crucial to balance coursework and activities. The transition was smooth but adapting to Michigan's weather and a more independent, fast-paced academic life required adjustment. The diversity on campus made cultural adaptation easier. I got a teaching assistant position, which covers my tuition completely and offers a generous stipend on top. I'm highly satisfied with the University of Michigan's academic rigour and opportunities. The courses are challenging but rewarding, and the US provides ample avenues for professional growth.

Likes (Public transportation): Ann Arbor is a college town, so the city is built around the campus itself. There are two kinds of buses running throughout the day, one is public buses run by the city, and the second are buses run by the university itself. Both of these are free for students.

Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee is on the higher side for the University of Michigan, especially considering that it is a public university. For engineering programs, that fee may be somewhat justified due to the career outcome, but for other programs, it is not at all financially a good decision.

Interesting and one of a kind University.

Tips: It is important to make sure of your safety by being aware about your locality and potential danger owing to the crime rate. My experience has been positive as the locals are friendly and there are student friendly options to explore as well. You should also try to be a part of the communities and campus culture as that can help you further in social engagement.
