I'm updating my previous review of the University of Michigan after riding bicycles through the…read moreCentral Campus on a sunny Sunday afternoon. "U of M" as it's called locally, is the state's oldest university having been founded in Detroit 1817 before being moved to Ann Arbor 20 years later. It is also a very large public university with 46,000 students, second only to Michigan State University with its 50,000 students. Intercollegiate athletics are a big part of the university's tradition with a sprawling sports complex for the Wolverines including the "Big House" for football Saturdays. With over 500 major buildings on campus, the University's architectural styles stretch the limits from Angel Hall's Greek and Roman blend to Burton Tower's Art Deco design to the Law Quad's Tudor Gothic style. The University of Michigan is highly intertwined with every aspect of life in the Deuce. I think of the "U" as the anchor of this college town and in many ways, it is what makes the city different from every other city in the state of Michigan.

There are free workshops for several resume boosting programs and the staff (especially meeeee) is always friendly and helpful. The steps facing the Diag are iconic, and the South entrance is pretty much a wind vortex to be avoided at all costs in cold weather.

Mujo is a great place to get decent coffee and snacks. I usually go with the Crammin Caramel Latte, which is pretty good. Just a heads up, sometimes it can be a little too sweet. Don't forget to get a FlocksTag card and use it!

I had the pleasure of attending the PCAP's annual presentation of prisoner art this year at the…read moreDuderstat Center Gallery this year. It was a thought provoking exhibit. The art had a such a wide range of styles, themes and mediums. Some of it was quite amazing really. I really was inspired by some of the beauty that was created in some of what must be the worst of circumstances. Some of it was achingly hopeful while other works really allowed you a glimpse at despair and even ugliness. All you can ask from art, a look at the real. So many contibutors, well over 300 pieces. We took our time and were there quite awhile. Quite an experience. Thanks for the heads up on this Mariah!

I love the interlibrary loan and the writing resources for students. The library website can be the best resource a hard-working student can have. Library OneSearch is a new search engine that features everything from the library catalog and other library databases. OneSearch also includes scholarly content publishers and view results ranked by relevance. The library is now open 24/5 for OU Students from Sunday through Thursday and closes at 2 on Fridays and Saturdays.

This library has mixed spatial identities so it is up to you to find your nook. There are a variety of group areas versus quiet solo spaces versus my aforementioned favorite, the periodicals section in the atrium. It is a GIANT atrium and I love how the pleasant low hum of people talking throughout the building is softly absorbed by the silence of books. Of course the selection of books is astounding (one thing U of M has going for it) though a good deal of them are in the basement which is, let's just call it like it is, ugly as sin and depressing. The library also has a bunch of adjoining little "centers," one of which is this phenomenal media suite for editing, transferring, and doing whatever you want to whatever media you want. There is also a full-blown recording studio free for students to use. Damn you PhD for taking away all my time, energy, and creativity because otherwise, I'd be a rock star filmmaker by now. There's also a video game archive as well as special collections that has some crazy old architecture books like you wouldn't believe. Open 24-hours with plenty of computers. If you like artsy fartsy materials, this is your place.

This library has so many amazing resources: hundreds of databases, a glorious collections of books, a beautiful contemporary reading area with art and architecture magazines, and we cannot forget the many wonders of the Duderstadt Center.

They have a cafe in the front of the library. Important note: the stapler is located on the first floor at the center desk.

Pretty spacious and never feels like it's overcrowded with students even at busy times. Could definitely use a little updating in terms of furniture and overall architecture. Also, I would love if there could be more local businesses represented inside rather than generic crappy chains like Panda Express and Subway, especially since these chains are just as expensive and hard on a student wallet now (eg a bowl from Qdoba is the same price as a bowl from Kosmo's Bop Shop). Also, the Panera in the Union suffers from severe mismanagement - they are so disorganized and don't seem to know what they're doing. Every time I order a drink through the app the cup never makes it onto the shelf. It's baffling. Lastly, I regularly go to the Blue Market in the lower level to refill gift cards and none of the student workers have any idea how to do it and need to get a manager. Overall it's not the students' fault but whoever runs the Union needs to step it up.

Quick, name one university student center that doesn't give me a social anxiety attack. Ready? Go!…read more It's best not to play this game with me because I seriously can't name one, out of dozens, that haven't sent me reeling into the uncomfortable realm of agoraphobia. This one isn't HORRIBLE but it's not altogether innocent, either. What's surprising is that the cafeteria food does not completely suck and there are often "guest restaurants" that sell their food here (like Jamaican Jerk Pit). It's also affordable. But I almost never ever eat at the cafeteria because it is effectively hidden on the 2nd (or 3rd'ish?) floor - you have to go up some steps and then 180, and then up some more, and then 180 again. Go with someone who knows where it is. So what is this place good for? It's good for walking through when needing to get to the library on a cold day. It's also decent to grab some food. I personally frequent Sushi by Panda (on the 2nd floor, not on the 1st floor which is just the Panda Express). Or I grab a wrap or salad at the little cafe on the 1st floor. I avoid all the junk food, and there is plenty, including a Quizno's, Panda Express, and various convenience stores with candy and chips. There are also a lot of banks and ATMs in this building. There's a small Barnes & Noble (with fairly high mark-ups for prices) and a computing store. Though there are study areas, they are not at all my cup of tea. Everything feels like it's from the '70s or '80s and beige beige beige. If it's studying you're after, I would push on through to the Duderstadt Art and Architecture Library's atrium.

You never k ow what the day will hold. It is an adrenaline rollercoaster ride here. You may not know it when you walk on by but the food here is out of this world, hot and fresh. The place is always clean, inside and out. It is also a good place for an overnight stay. Beds are comfortable. Rooms are clean and quiet. If you would like the opportunity to experience this lifestyle applications are being taken. What you need is your firefighter 1 and 2 certification as well as your paramedic license. Application can be obtained at the Livonia City Hall.

A part of my soul remains forever trapped inside this building. This place and the Engineering…read moreBuilding were my 2nd and 3rd homes while at MSU. The MSU main library has everything you need for research and study. It contains the vast majority of the University's library collection. It also has tons of study locations from loud to quiet, comfy or torturous. The Sparty's cafe stays open late, and open 24 hours during finals. The computers here stink. MSU computers take FOREVER to log in. I have no idea why. There always seems to be a large amount that are not functioning properly. Compared to those available for Engineering students in the Engineering Building, they're flat out awful. The place is over 50 years old and it's really starting to show in some areas. Regardless, they keep it in pretty good shape and it serves its purpose well. As with all university libraries, they need to keep transitioning from being a place for research to a place to study. Hardly anyone goes to the library anymore to search for a book they need. The stacks should be condensed to free up more space for study nooks. They also need to put more electrical outlets in to account for the fact that everyone has a computer now. Piece of advice: Bring a power strip and extension cord with you if the Library is busy. This way you can make a table far from an outlet work and make an outlet that someone else was already using help out multiple people.
