If he's looking to study Applied Mathematics and/or Engineering, then Triangle might be right up his alley.

Drinking lines are short

If you are considering engineering you should also check out north campus (the Duderstdat, BBB, EECS, diag). Other than academics, there is not a lot going on (plan accordingly).

4th floor mason hall bathroom where the teacher offices are. Best kept secret at UofM for an enjoyable dump during peak class hours.
Also, RIP Mitch's.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:14 AM ^
It can not be understated how important a secret dumping spot is, personally I liked top floor of west hall.

Mine was by the computer lab in the old B school. Believe it was one of the only ones with 2-ply. Thanks Exec Ed MBA program.

Please resurrect this topic in a new thread. It's THE perfect off-season topic!! I predict 200+ replies

Dreaded double post related to shitting.

This was mentioned before but the law library/quad are jewels of the campus. I would also suggest the Union and the League for architecture/design and a campusey atmosphere. I'm not as familar with North Campus, but the Bentley and Ford libraries are both cool facilities.

is beautiful and the best place to study.

on my only visit is the reason I went to UM. It looked/felt like what college should be.
And second on studying in the Law Library. Get there early.
January 11th, 2018 at 10:23 AM ^
They are doing a major renovation, scheduled to last almost two years.
January 11th, 2018 at 11:04 AM ^
Closing in May for 18 months. Complete redo.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:14 AM ^
Oh man, you're going to live on north campus and commute to Dennison like it's your job. Godspeed.
Check out the libraries, and definitely walk around downtown. If there's one thing I could redo from my time in AA, it would be going downtown much more often.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:37 AM ^
Me too. It's a whole 'nother world.
But as a student I couldn't afford it, so I only went like two times.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:14 AM ^
January 11th, 2018 at 8:16 AM ^
Take a ride on Commuter North during peak hours to really get an up close and personal view of student life
January 11th, 2018 at 8:23 AM ^

You could always test out the theory of "get hit by a blue bus = free tuition"

Architecture and Engineering majors sharing close quarters with Art and Music, it's definitely a broad canvas of student diversity.

That was my answer (despite it being close to 60 today). The Arb will be a sea of mud until the next snow (tomorrow).
January 11th, 2018 at 9:35 AM ^
It will be 59 degrees today and all the snow will melt -- the Arb will be as sloppy as hell.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:27 AM ^
then down by Huron River.
January 11th, 2018 at 6:06 PM ^
Agreed, the parks along the Huron are some of the nicest parts of Ann Arbor.

January 11th, 2018 at 8:31 AM ^
If we're going to suggest some out of the way places that aren't on the guided tour, then I think you definitely need to check out The Stacks in the Hatcher Graduate Library, where there is much studying going on, but PLEASE KNOCK FIRST. That last part is important.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:50 AM ^
Or you could just barge in and learn a thing or two about life...but I don't recommend it.
January 11th, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
That's two new topics that deserve their own thread.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:40 AM ^
Engineering is on North Campus, so it might be good to go look around up there and see what you need to spend as much time avoiding as possible when not in class.
The Diag is the place to be spending your flex time. The Law Library is a great place for silent studying, assuming the Law School hasn't completed their take over of the main study room yet.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:44 AM ^
Firstly, I recommend declaring as an engineering student when you enroll instead of applied math. Your first year would be general prereqs (most of which are needed for either college) and one or two survey/intro engineering courses to give you a better understanding of the various engineering departments before you decide to choose one (there are many). And, if you decide you want to go with applied math, it is much easier to transfer from college of engineering (CoE) to Literature-Science-Arts (LSA) than the converse.
Most of the "happening" places for food./music/social scene are near central campus, which is just the nature of how the university and town grew. North campus is beautiful and quieter, but not much immediately near it aside from strip malls and generic restaurants.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:46 AM ^
Come find me in MSRB1. I'll take ya to Skeep's then Rick's!
January 11th, 2018 at 8:53 AM ^
Make sure to get a dorm tour!
January 11th, 2018 at 9:00 AM ^
January 11th, 2018 at 9:29 AM ^
I don't believe you.
January 11th, 2018 at 9:36 AM ^
January 11th, 2018 at 9:40 AM ^
January 11th, 2018 at 1:46 PM ^
Me neither. 0.0% chance this loser is actually a prospective student.
January 11th, 2018 at 9:36 AM ^
might I suggest LSA?
