One of the biggest problems I faced while living in the dorms freshman year was lugging heavy 24 packs of bottled water from the trunk of someone’s car to my room.  But this year, with the addition of H2GoBlue to our campus, this no longer has to be a problem!  A few friends of mine [...]

I’m talking, of course, about Splash Bash.  You know welcome week is coming closer when you get the facebook invite to AEPi’s big welcome week party.  It happens the last night that people get to really party hard, the Sunday before the first day of classes.  Hundreds of Michigan greek life members pack The Necto [...]

Two of the most enjoyable days I’ve had at the University of Michigan happened on Spring Term, when classes were done and the weather was warm in the Nichols Arboretum, more commonly known as the “arb”.  When my parents were dropping me off at the beginning of my freshman year, I walked through the arb [...]

For the freshmen, and even the rest of the University, registration is a stressful time.  Unfortunately for the freshmen, who have already gone to orientation or will be going within the next 7 or so weeks, by the time they go to the fishbowl to register for classes, many are already full, since the rest [...]

If you’re looking for somewhere reasonably priced to eat, with good food, look no further than South U or Kerrytown’s No Thai!  This is one of my all-time favorite places to eat on campus…my friends and I always joke about how we could write a five-page essay about this place.  No Thai is one of [...]

Stucchi’s has been a favorite of Ann Arbor residents for over 20 years.  With two locations, each on popular campus streets (State St. and South U.), Stucchi’s has been the primary stop for fro-yo fanatics for a very long time.  But in April of 2009, YogoBliss, a new frozen yogurt place opened on South U, [...]

It’s that time of year again…the University of Michigan has released its housing assignments to the incoming freshmen for the school year.  Those assigned to Alice Lloyd, Mary Markley, and the other dorms in the “Hill” area, as well as those on central campus cheered when they got their assignments.  Those who were assigned to [...]

This piece located on Central Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is made out of black painted Cor-Ten steel.  It was acquired in 1968.  The artist was a UM alumnus (’36).
Although seemingly massive, the 15′ x 15′  the CUBE will rotate on its axis given a gentle push. “Spin the Cube”

Next time you’re in Scorekeepers in Ann Arbor…
Consider this —30+ years ago Madonna worked there as a waitress.  Yes, that Madonna…. the “Like a Virgin” Madonna.  She attended University of Michigan on a dance scholarship..but then left sans diploma in 1977 for the lights of NYC.
Scorekeepers, a fairly recent establishment at this location…was once the [...]

Officials at the University of Michigan announced on 4/20 (how ironic) that all University of Michigan campuses will be smoke-free, starting July 1, 2011.  Currently, smoking is banned in all dorms and all health-related buildings, but there are a few campus residence halls that allow smoking.  The new law will also ban all smoking on [...]
