"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.

It is a small, picturesque 197-acre campus perched above the Huron River that runs through Ann Arbor. The chapel has a unique pyramid design with walls of stained glass within it and an immense pipe organ that you have to see to believe. The 1960s campus resembles a park and sits in the heart of the Lutheran Synod of Michigan. Entering after the CoVID, it seems like a quiet, relaxed atmosphere on campus. I like that they consistently tie their lessons to the Lutheran Faith. The online curriculum is not perfect and allowed me to build on skills that I was already familiar with and tried to steer me towards what I needed for my career. I think with the onset of the pandemic, they like most schools were negatively affected. I am currently working towards a Master's degree here online. Make sure to look into possible scholarships and aid to save money. I am giving it 3 stars because I have always been an adult student at this school and in Wisconsin. I cannot judge extracurricular activities and athletics. They do have a strong music program and do concerts on the banks of the river at times. Very nice. From their website: The institution was originally established as Concordia Lutheran Junior College but underwent multiple name changes over time. The institution changed its name to Concordia College when it began offering four-year degree programs in 1976, and ultimately became Concordia University Ann Arbor in 2001. In July 2013, a strategic partnership between CUAA and Concordia University Wisconsin became official. Within the first years after the merger, the campus underwent major renovations and enhancements, including to residence halls, the student union, athletic fields, and the dining hall. In 2015, the university purchased a former law school building located just over two miles north of the main campus. The "North Building" now houses the campus' School of Nursing, the first fully accredited academic school opened by Concordia since its merger with CUW. Coupled with expanding academic programs and athletic offerings, enrollment reached an all-time high at Concordia University Ann Arbor during the 2017-18 academic year with a total of 1,081 students. Since 2013, CUAA's enrollment has grown more than 60 percent, and in 2017 it earned a spot among the fastest-growing private universities in the Midwest.

I am a student of Eastern and finally graduated. This was no easy feat, and took me a bit longer…read morethan anticipated, but I did it. I started here as a full time student living on campus in the dorms immediately after high school with a meal plan and no car. I didn't finish my degree with 2 classes left and joined the workforce. Eventually, years later I returned to complete my schooling and finally graduated. I will list what I know as a young high school student, and as an adult commuting, since I have experience in both situations. Eastern has plenty of housing available throughout campus for people who need it. They have a nice student union where you can sit and study, eat or hang out if you have a large gap of time between classes. As a returning student, I found it reasonably easy to navigate my way back into campus with doing all the paperwork and readmitting myself. The process was easy and simple, but should be done far in advance so you can get into the classes that you need. Don't do this the day before. Instructors were qualified and accessible. Some are harder than others, some have book and materials required for class, some do not. It really depends on your program and how far along you are in your degree. This is life. Each major is different, but this is college, so different things are to be expected. Eastern has a really great online program that allows students to submit assignments and read lectures (depending on the professor) online via their website. It's easy to navigate, and made commuting so much easier. I didn't have to attend class in person twice a week like I did back in the day. It's called a hybrid program. you show up for one class and the other half of the class is online, allowing you to do assignments from home. Each instructor and major is different and there are some classes that you must show up for in person and have very little online involvement. Others are heavier on the in class work, and lighter with the online stuff. It really depends on the instructor and what your major is. I loved the hybrid format, since it meant I didn't have to show up as much, and could do stuff from home. The downside to Eastern is the parking situation. It has become very expensive and because the school contracted it out to a private outside company. This is causing a huge uproar on campus, and people are getting parking tickets that should not. Now, all of the pay lots are automated and if you don't have a charge card or debit card, you are not going to get out. It used to be a $1.50 an hour. Not anymore. I think it's a $5 flat fee per hour or whatnot regardless of how long you are there. Also, the parking hang tags here are absurdly expensive. I don't know how any of the students can afford to park who have cars full time on campus. Back when I was a student, they had different "levels" of parking tags. The most expensive one was for full time students who either lived on campus with a car, or commuted full time during the day with a full class load. They were there the most money. Then they had part time tags, for people who were only there like 2 days a week, and the cheapest was the evening students who came in for night classes. Now, they don't care if you are taking one night class or live full time on campus. It's $165 a semester to park, regardless. I was on campus once a week for one class, and it would have still been $165. For one stinking class, once a week! They offer a shuttle that you can park off campus and come into school on, but that adds about 30 minutes to your commute, since you have to park at the football stadium, and get dropped off at their designated points, then walk to your building. That runs $30, but they keep raising the prices on those as well/ My only other complaint is that sometimes dealing with administrative stuff here outside of the classroom can be frustrating and drag on. Staff is readily accessible, but some are easier to deal with than others. For example, my graduation auditor was a wicked crotch who was miserable to deal with. But, my program advisers were awesome and easy to reach. Aside from my graduation auditor, I was always able to get stuff accomplished, even if it wasn't on the timeline I preferred. Overall I loved Eastern, and it was worth the stress of getting my degree. They made it easy as a young high school student and as a working adult who commuted. Thank you Eastern, you really let me get my degree done, and made it worth it, even with the few setbacks I had.

It is a clean, quiet, modern, and green hotel that is perfect for the business traveler. There is a fitness room and lounge areas, and an awesome market on the first floor that has excellent coffee, friendly staff, and probably the best steel cut oatmeal for only $1.50! I also liked the fact that it had an easy-to-use coffee maker with Green Mountain Coffee, Tea, and Hot Chocolate, and you had free bottled water that was always replenished. The housekeeping staff was excellent. I'm refraining from giving it five stars for a few reasons. First of all, the parking was inconvenient. The hotel is next to a parking lot that charges $1.50 per hour and there didn't seem to be a way out of this (in fact, my room overlooked the top level of the parking lot, which was painful considering I couldn't park there!). So, guests were encouraged to park on the streets, but there was no loading/unloading/check-in zone in front of the hotel. The residential area is gorgeous and safe, but the only reason why I found any parking at all (sometimes in excess of two blocks away, which is tough with luggage) was because school wasn't in session yet. Fortunately, I wasn't fighting with students over parking spots. Second of all, this really is for business travelers. The beds were 3 inches smaller than a normal queen and there were no other size beds--so don't plan on bringing guests if you want a good night sleep! Otherwise, the beds are super comfy. Thirdly, the rooms were small, but not quite NYC small. It was comfortable enough, as long as you don't expect to spend much time there during the day. Finally, the fitness room could stand to have more equipment. It was very clean with a fridge full of water in environmentally friendly bottles, but it filled up fast by 6am if the hotel was at capacity. I expected more for $150/night in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but you do pay for convenience. Also, you can't beat how friendly and helpful the folks are in Michigan!

The law libary is perhaps one of the best places to study on the whole campus. Unlike the Ugli which is where people go to pretend to study and the Hatcher graduate library which can get seriously quiet and spooky later at night (sometimes attracting folks like the Unabomber who was a grad student at Michigan), the Law Library offers a good balance of being able to see other people around and a general 'no loud noises' rule to maintain a good productive vibe. With its cathedral like ceiling, it's a beautiful place to sit with only a mild hum of noise that feels like white noise to help you get serious work done.

Another fascinating feature is the stained glass windows of crimes and other aspects of the law. From the stained glass window depicting murder to that depicting debt collectors dragging away a person who was going bankrupt... I don't think the windows were originally intended to be comical, but I found them hilarious. The law quad is really cool to visit. Go blue!
