[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a good place for someone who doesn’t care at all about sports? Will they feel like an outsider?[/quote]

It is so big there is something for everyone! I graduated from M the year we won the Rose Bowl and the NCAA tournament.   I watched a total of 2 basketball games (1 in person and 1 on the TV) and went in person to a handful of football games.  It left everyone I know baffled but I got to tell you, it worked for me.  I loved the school, loved the experience, loved the “best of” professors, the fact that my peers were interesting and fun and that every band and politician would come through Ann Arbor.  I loved the energy, the place literally throbs,  the political awareness and social activism of much of the student body.  The Daily was (is?) a top rate student newspaper and its journalists go on to write for nationally known papers.   Peers went to grad schools all over the map and there is a public school swagger that is filled with pride.   Plus it is in the mid west.  You won’t find blue blood elitism there and yet you will find the best of the mid west.   I graduated with solid grades, not top 10 percent of my class, I got a phenomenal education, met lifelong friends and it was worth every single penny.  I wish I could do it again.  It was awesome.
