[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would recommend looking for campus events that aren't part of the admitted students day.

What I love about the large flagship where I got my grad degree and where my oldest attends now is the wide variety of events.

I have been to so many interesting lectures, concerts, theatrical works, etc. over the years.  Many of them free and just walk-in.  It's one of the major strengths of my flagship and all the info is on the web.

Also, I have experience with studying at 3 different flagships and this one has way more on offer than the other 2.

I think getting restaurant advice can also make a visit nicer.[/quote]

Which one?

Michigan.  I just love it.  I'm not sporty at all - have only gone to a few football games over the years.  Some of my favorites over the years: Armenian shadow puppetry, Indonesian gamelan orchestra, Indian musicology lecture on time signatures, Laurie Anderson concerts, Complicite doing a Murakami-based show, Shakespeare in the Arb (outdoor strolling show), lots of student plays and musicals, a Stravinsky appreciation conference, and students doing readings from their long-form journalism articles about Great Lakes Ecology (English class final project).

I was an MBA student long ago.  During my years there I went to lots of student run conferences.  These are mainly for current students but depending on the agenda they may be of general interest.  Examples include: Net Impact/Students for Responsible Business, Women in Leadership Conference, Black Business Students Conference, Asia Pacific Business Conference.  They are usually open to non-business students and the public although the ticket prices go up for general public.

Lots of famous and semi-famous people come through to give lectures.  I like the departmental talks that aren't necessarily by famous people.

I moved from MoCo to Michigan and stayed here.  I still go to Ann Arbor to do cultural things.  It's a great local resource to keep in touch with the world.[/quote]

Seems like a great environment, full of rich experiences.

Were you the poster who commented on Georgetown too?
