A Weekend in Ann Arbor


This weekend I drove to Ann Arbor with my dad to visit the University of Michigan. I really liked the school and the atmosphere of Ann Arbor. The whole town revolves around the college and the three campuses spread across basically the whole city. It was also the weekend of the Michigan and Michigan State football game so the town and campus were hopping. The Michigan football stadium is absolutely gigantic, holding more than 100,000 people. It’s incredible how they can draw such a large crowd, but Ann Arbor isn't very close to any other large towns so it’s the main event in the area.
              
  After my trip there I could definitely see myself going to the University. It has really good academic programs all around and there is so much stuff going on all the time being bored is out of the question. My dad and I also ate at Blimpy Burger on campus which was featured on Man v Food on the travel channel. It was insanely good but it was interesting because the workers there were very pushy and kind of rude. It was successful though because the long line moved really fast and according to the locals the workers always act like that.
   
  I also walked past a frat house on my tour in full swing pumping 99 problems on Saturday before the football game but I won't go into the details on the happenings in the yard.

 It was definitely worth the trip and I am definitely going to apply to the University of Michigan, among other schools, because it was a great college atmosphere with great opportunities.
