Admissions

Be prepared to study!!! College is different than high school, but yet enjoyable. Make sure you learn and get used to balancing your time with activities, friends and studying. And cramming isn't good! Make new friends and study partners because everything isn't easy...... But don't be afraid. Enter with a strong attitude and the preparation to overcome obstacles whenever they come.... And many times you can rest and have fun!

take the initiative to use the academic support services available to you on campus. the career counselors can help you decide your major early which will help you not waste time and money on classes you don't need. you can also find out about future job prospects in your field of study and projected income to help you discern if the career you have selected will make a livable income and help you change paths if it isn't. if you need extra money the university has numerous employment opportunities that will comply with you schedule and most will even allow you to do your homework on the job!

The best lesson I've learned is to stay organized. Most students will take an average of 3-5 classes while also working 1-2 jobs and maybe an extracurricular activity. Juggling all this can become quite chaotic, so having a system in place to track what needs to be done and when it needs to be done will be a tremendous help to do everything the student wants to experience.

If you have plans to come to this great institution, I have one main tip for you: SOCIALIZE! Being social will open the doors of opportunity tenfold, and you will notice the benefits of being open to others right away.

Have good grades in High School and College if your a transfer, but if your not than make sure you have good ACT/SAT scores sent to UM-Dearborn.

Stay on top of your work. Don't just put everything off till the last minute. It makes things so much harder

Work up your stamina or bring a skateboard. Getting from science class to math class is a bit of a walk.
Also get used to canvas.com, that is where all your assignments are posted and submitted, grades are submitted and class information is.

I wouldn't go to this school. They are impersonal and don't help the student much. You are made into a number and I hated that.
