The University of Michigan has a long and distinguished history. It was founded in 1817, twenty years before the territory became a state, and was one of the first public universities in the nation. Throughout its nearly 200-year history, it has maintained the highest levels of education, scholarship, and research. Ann Arbor, a vibrant mid-sized city known for its sprawling greenery and exposed-brick facades, its array of enticing eateries and historic theaters, and, of course, Michigan Football, is regularly ranked as one of the best places to live in the nation.

The U-M campus is also less than a thirty-minute drive from the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, a hub for major airlines like Delta, Air Canada, Air France, and American Airlines with over 400 flights to and from Europe, East Asia, and every corner of the United States every day. From Ann Arbor, Michigan Flyer and D2A2 are offer accessible bus services that connect the U-M Ann Arbor campus with DTW and offerings of downtown Detroit, like the Detroit Riverwalk, the Detroit Institute of Art, Corktown, Eastern Market and a vibrant musical and arts community.
