[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Visited MI and vibes are work hard-play hard (from tour guide) so I think many social opportunities.  One thing to note is that the engineering section of campus is separate from the main campus.  Kids can easily take buses for core humanities and such so they have worked this out and while I would not say it should dissuade anyone, it's something to know about before you decide. Ann Arbor looks very fun with a lively restaurant scene.

Regarding the shuttle bus...I used that daily for two school years to get from my grad student housing to Central Campus.  Many freshman are assigned Central Campus dorms anyway (thousands of them).  And new dorms are opening soon to add beds on Central Campus.  Freshman do like Central Campus if they like to go into the town or do a lot of social events at night.

Taking a campus shuttle bus is not big deal.  For many people, including myself, who are used to public transportation, it is a non-issue.  If this worries your family, check it out live during a campus visit.  It's free to anyone so you can get on and ride the loop.

Also, many sophomores and most upperclassmen rent apartments.  So within 1-2 years, they can choose exactly where they want to live.  There are different clusters of apartments and amenities on all sides of campus. Engineering students do tend to get apartments near their classes on North Campus.

The reasons the campuses are separate is because the top of Central Campus borders the Huron River valley.  So North Campus is across the river valley.  Central Campus is surrounded by town on the other sides.[/quote]
