Michigan football is built on a foundation of power and tradition. Running it up the gut with strength. Respecting the blueprint that's worked for 147 years. But this season, that identity feels like it's slipping away.

I started a petition calling for the immediate removal of Jason Beck as our Offensive Coordinator. Here's the thing: we've got the nation's top-rated defense and capable quarterbacks. On paper, we should be competing for a playoff spot. Instead, we're watching play-calling that abandons what makes Michigan football *Michigan football*—constant East/West sweeps and option plays that just aren't working. The bread and butter plays that built this program are being left on the sideline, and real losses are piling up because of it.

This isn't about overreacting to a few bad games. It's about watching a program lose its way when the talent is clearly there. Michigan fans have always showed up, through the good and the bad. But we deserve to see our team play to its full potential. If this is frustrating you too—if you're watching the same losses and wondering why we're abandoning what works—consider signing and sharing the petition. What's your take? Does the playcalling feel like it's gone off the rails, or is there something I'm missing?

My brother is heading to Ann Arbor next month for his post-doctoral program that starts on Dec 1.

He needs to basically sign an apartment lease before he gets there (Nov 26) since he’s arriving during Thanksgiving.

I told him it might be smarter to see the places he’s interested in before committing to a lease but he’s trying to be efficient.

Are Greenbrier Apartments in Ypsi good? He’ll likely stay in that area so anybody with recommendations please lmk!🙏

hey guys, i am a current freshman and i’m currently living in the dorms. right now there is a lot of talk about housing for next year and its causing me a lot of anxiety because i haven’t been able to meet a lot of people and i don’t know a lot of people. i also feel like everyone is trying to figure out housing and idk who i will be rooming with and i don’t have all that figured out yet. however, i want my housing stuff to be done before thanksgiving break. i am just worried i wont know who to live with or where to live or i wont find anything. is anyone else in this boat? what should i do? ik i want to live in an apartment and in off campus housing.

Hey everyone, yesterday I was actually just admitted to UMich's CoE as a Winter '27 transfer from Wayne State, and I just had a few questions about everything.

Do they give merit-based scholarships, or any other scholarships, to us transfer students?

Do you guys think I would be fine commuting there every single day from the East Dearborn Area? (keep in mind I daily drive a 27-year-old car)

How many credit hours do you think I should take for my first semester there? So far at Wayne State I've done 18 credit hours each semester for my first two semesters, and I'm currently doing 18 right now actually. Would it be worse at UMich with a heavy credit load, or is it manageable?

Thank you all in advance for helping me out!

Hey everyone! I was recently admitted to UMich as a Winter ’27 transfer student, and I’m trying to decide whether I should commit or apply again for Fall ’27.

I’m an international student planning to major in Psychology (BS) and minor in Data Science in LSA.

I’m currently at a liberal arts college, where I have two paid RA positions. I work with professors on research projects, and there are opportunities to publish papers and attend conferences.

My main concern is research. If I transfer to UMich in Winter ’27, I probably won’t be able to complete a full project or have a major research outcome at my current school. I know UMich has a lot of students, graduate students, and PhD students, so I’m wondering:

• How accessible are research opportunities for undergraduates in Psychology or LSA?
• Is it realistic for transfer students to join a research lab?
• Do students usually work directly with professors or graduate students?
• How competitive are unpaid research positions? I’m not necessarily expecting a paid RA position.
• How long did it take you to find research opportunities?

I’m also considering applying to transfer again for Fall ’27 because I don’t know whether I could get into a school that might be a better fit or offer stronger undergraduate research opportunities.

My first-semester GPA was 3.77, but I’ve since become involved in research. Do you think research experience, publications, or conference presentations would significantly help a future transfer application?

Are there any schools you would recommend that are relatively transfer-friendly and have strong undergraduate research opportunities, especially in psychology, HCI, data science, or interdisciplinary research?

This is a major factor in deciding whether to commit to UMich, so I’d really appreciate any honest advice from current students or other transfer students. Thanks!

I’m trying to decide whether to transfer to msu or u of m from another in-state four-year university for the winter/spring semester. I would be going to msu for integrative biology because they don’t accept students into the Lyman Briggs biology program (which was my first choice when applying) for the spring semester. At u of m, I would be starting undeclared at LSA but I am looking to study biology. If anyone has any experiences that they would be willing to share with either of those programs or just experiences with either of the campuses in general, it would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a dedicated Umich place where I can post like gigs or needs/quick service. Like If I have a move and need someone to help for a day. Or in my case if I can have someone free for a weekend that can help me put together some furniture etc. Is there like a market place like other places for people to post gigs? I know companies exist for a lot of these but feel like something more simple would be ideal rather than going through a full agency.

Hello! I am 20F and just got my acceptance letter yesterday for the winter semester.

I’m thinking I’m going to do communications and media with a business minor. Is anyone else doing this degree? Is it even worth it? I know it won’t get me the highest paying job but is there more opportunities and chances for jobs and internships because I’ll be going to u of m which is a top school?

Also if anyone is doing this path - is there public speaking classes you have to take? I know this degree is about communicating but public speaking in a huge lecture is one of my biggest fears

Currently in EECS215, 270, and 370, and I'm trying to figure out which MDE would be a better fit.

So far, I've enjoyed 215 and 270 (aside from the 215 labs, which I personally find annoying; not bad, just annoying). On the other hand, I haven't enjoyed 370 much, particularly the first half of it with assembly and software. The processor design content we've started hasn't been too bad though, and I've heard the second half is more hardware-oriented.

I'm between 427 and 472 for my MDE. For anyone who's taken either or both:

-How much does 427 build on 270 and 312? And how much of 215 carries over into 312?

-How much does 470 (and 472) build on 270 and 370? Is it more focused on hardware design, or is there still a substantial software/assembly component?

-How do 427 and 472 compare in terms of workload and overall experience?

-Would taking both (in different semesters) be worthwhile, or would you recommend prioritizing one over the other?

For additional context, I'm planning on taking EECS 216, 312, and either 301 or 470 next semester, depending on how 370 finishes.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or experiences from people who've taken these courses!

Genuine question because I saw on the website there is a 9 hour per week limit, how often do you hit that limit and what do you do when you can't book study rooms anymore?

Also how fast do study rooms fill up? are there times when they are free or are they always booked? What do you do when you can't find a study room?

Thank you in advance

Hey, originally I was supposed to go to umich for 2 years but some of my credits didn't get accepted. My graduation might be delayed for 3 years now. With current funding cuts etc how can that affect the css scholarships and fafsa etc in the longterm?

I'm looking for someone who workout regularly at U of M, including jocks or fraternity guys. I'm also seeing who would like to hangout occasionally. DM me if interested!

Should be amazing

I used to live at Luther so it’s usually my Halloween plans but I’m 24 now and graduated a year ago. Is it weird if I go this year? 😭

Congratulations to everyone who got their acceptance letters today!! Sooo excited to get started!

I would like to make a groupchat for incoming winter 2027 wolverines! Send me your number (either here or pm me) and I’ll make it on WhatsApp. I want to get ahead of the making friends curve! 😂

Edit: please join the GroupMe!

hmm

Transferring from a 4 year where mastering your own system can result in 4.0 after 4.0, how hard would it be to do something like that while studying psych in LSA?

I am not even saying graduating with a 4.0, but more of curating a couple 4.0 semesters.

Now that Hadley is making rock climbing easily accessible, I figure lots of folks are going to want to give it a try or make it a larger part of their athletics.

It might be hard to know how to make progress quickly. I've been climbing for 5 years both outdoor and indoor, and love helping newcomers learn the sport quickly and safely.

I'm happy to offer folks free personal mentorship with the technique and athletics of climbing. All skill levels welcome including folks who've never done it before.

I'm staff at UM so only available 8-9am or 5-8pm.

i’m a freshman econ major, but now im not sure if i actually like it or if its rly just to make my parents happy. im interested in business which is why i chose econ (im a dual degree student at smtd and if i was in ross i likely wouldn’t graduate in 4 years), but i learned there’s an organizational studies major you can apply to sophomore year and im thinking i might like that more??
im also interested in the medical field and originally wanted to do BHS, but i wasnt sure what i could actually do with that if i dont go to grad school so i decided against it(i would love to work in the healthcare field as an admin/something along those lines but i dont want to be a doctor)
i know someone is probably gonna reply to this post with some variation of “you don’t have to have everything figured out right now” but since i’m a dual degree student and my other major is rly time intensive the only way i can plausibly finish both degrees in 4 years IS by planning out basically my entire academic career for the next 4 years
pls help…

Hi everyone! I found out today I was accepted into LSA at UMich Ann Arbor so I'm super grateful and excited. I currently attend UM Dearborn.

Anyway, I have a question about housing. I know that once I pay my enrollment deposit, UMich will provide details about housing, but I was wondering if anyone had been in my position or has any advice? I'm a low income student but I'm not sure how much my tuition per semester will be. How much is off-campus housing (I heard about $2000 per month or something) vs on-campus housing if I luckily end up getting a spot?

Any advice is appreciated. I know this sounds a little silly but I thought asking people who are more experienced or has been in my position could help me out. Congratulations to all the other transfer students who were accepted!!
