Well, I just got into Michigan, found that out a few minutes ago.

Also, I have an interview in a few days for a full ride scholarship to Michigan or MSU, which is basically you have the scholarship unless you completely fuck up the interview.

Good luck with the interviews.

errrr michigan. stupid 1 sec left :evil:

anyway, congrats zimmer

Michigan??? Well, enjoy your 6 and 7 win football seasons for the next four to five years.

Welcome! Good luck with the interview.

Ignore this person yelling at you from the short yellow bus. Just ask him who has more all time wins between Michigan and Alabama.

Grats on getting in Zim!

I actually hate Michigan right now, been a Michigan State fan for the last 15 years of my life. Will change for football, just don't know if I'll be able to stop caring about MSU Basketball.

But this effort they're putting up against Wisconsin today might help me stop :evil:

Do you follow hockey? The GLI is a great time around the holidays, although I am sick of being from the annual whipping boy, Michigan Tech...

Hey, if you need to know ANYTHING about the place, ask me. I was a student there, once upon a time. Michigan is so much more fun than State. TRUST me, trust me, trust me. Pick Michigan. You'll thank me.

I'm jealous zim. Michigan is the love of my life, but, their jazz program sucked, so I couldn't go their. Michigan> MSU. I've known a bunch of people who went there and all have loved it. You will have a ton of fun at ann arbor(be sure to start poking smot if you haven't already, cause that is a major pastime there :-) )

12 "recognized" national titles by the program, and 5 other titles recognized by the NCAA official record book (I don't count those, but many argue that you do..I don't know. Record 30 bowl wins as well. And...our program is going up, as next year will be our FIRST year fully back from probation..and Michigan is falling. Good new for you though...Michigan did receive some votes in the latest polls!!! Hehe..unranked. Seriously though, Alabama finished #8...one of the best teams in the nation...you know, just like I said in August.

This thread has nothing to do with Alabama football... please STFU..

best of luck zim

Yeah, I used to go there every year from when I was 6 til when I was like 14. Of course I was a State fan when I went.

Tech, that must've been fun I've heard about what happens there when you're snowed in.

did I bring up Alabama football?? No. I did not. Thanks and good night.

I wish I'd known you were an Ann Arbor fan... I would've shown you a good time/month.

I'm pretty sure Michigan parties significantly harder than MSU or any other college in the world does... I don't think the cops could BE any cooler. At Freshman Orientation I had a bag (half an eighth, give or take), and a half pint of vodka on me, and I actually stumbled into a parked cop car. Of course, the cops stopped me and chatted with me.

Cop: "You been drinking, son?"

Wang: (terrified) "Yes sir. Very much, sir. I think I'm going to vomit soon, so don't get mad."

Cop: "You okay? You have alcohol poisoning?"

Wang: "No sir. I just feel dizzy. It might be the fact that I'm terrified, sir."

Cop: (confused) "Terrifed? Why are you scared?"

Wang: "I'm only 17, sir, and here for orientation."

Cop: "Huh. That explains it then."

Wang: "Am I going to be arrested sir?"

Cop: "Well, do you have any drugs on you?"

Wang: "...."

Cop: "Any cocaine, heroin, horse tranquilizers anything like that?"

Wang: "...I..."

Cop: "Alright, alright. You don't look like you're on anything but booze, either. At least none of the hard stuff. Get back to South Quad, son. Welcome to Ann Arbor."

Wang: "I... thank you sir." (Wang walks away)

Cop (to other cop friend, when I'm walking away): "Man, that kid was hammered. Did you see how red his eyes were? I was sure he was going to start crying when I asked about drugs."



Anyway, Ann Arbor is the best college town on the planet. MSU sucks. I've partied there. Cops are hardcore, and they ride horses. Nobody in AnnArbor cares about anything.

In defense of other schools, Wang, most college cops could care less about small personal amounts of the mary jane. The cops found me 4 times with it on me while I was in school, including catching me in mid-hit 3 of the times, and not once did I get arrested. They have bigger things to worry about.....

....though I have been in Grand Rapids for almost a year and never visited Ann Arbor. From what I hear in this thread I need to make a visit there soon.

State School.. State School..


Ann Arbor's a whore!!!


he he..


Just had to give you a little big ten razzing, Michigan's awesome, and Ann Arbor is one of my favorite towns I've ever been to. A friend of mine on the NU football team hooked me up with some NU/Michigan tickets my senior year, and I've never seen anything as scary as 100,000 people doing "hail to the victors". a full ride it UM is absolutely amazing.. you'll learn to love the wolverines, I'm sure...

michigan sucks, but good job on getting into a ocllege

Congrats. Great school.

I'll grant you, the UM education is nothing like the quality education you get at Alabama.. is it too late to apply there zim?

I'm pretty sure Alabama has rolling admissions. It's never too late!

i concur.. i lived in ann arbor for a while and it is a great ****ing town

now bigD, don't be raggin on alabamie now. that's just not right

I don't know, I think both Notre Dame and to a much lesser extent MSU have nicer looking campuses than Michigan.

I don't really care about weed, as I don't smoke, just not my thing I guess. I'm sure you can find partying at any college campus (other than BYU). Just tough to choose, but I guess It's better to be in this spot than to have to choose which community college to go to.

That's awesome man, I have always been a Michigan fan.

I just got into Illinois 3 weeks ago, so we can be big ten rivals now.

I would love to go to Michigan, but I can't afford it, their out of state is like 37K.

you should change that. its fun and girls like it, learn to have fun with it




of course you are going to be able to party at almost any college in the country, but, there are very few places that have what UM has to offer. It is one of the best schools in teh country, is a very laid back and liberal place, and is one of the best party schools around. If you want to go to East Lansing, then go, but seriously, I'd be willing to bet that if you go to UM you will have an experience that will be far superior

Ah.. college.. I didn't smoke weed till college either.. *laughs* good luck getting through 4 years at UM without smoking weed.

on another note, if I had to do it over again, I would have gone to college some place warm. Did you apply to any warm schools? if so, go there.

No, the only schools I considered applying to with the academic credentials I'm looking for and warm weather (that I would want to go to) were Rice and Stanford, but didn't apply to either. Although, after seeing that FSUCowgirl link someone posted, I considered applying to Florida State.

Now that I've got in, I'm starting to realize I have no clue what the hell I want to go into. I don't really want a 9 to 5 job, but want to make plenty of money doing something I enjoy (man, how many people said that when they were 17 :roll: )

I'll probably smoke some weed at college, some of my friends do it, and it just doesn't seem like that much fun. Getting drunk seems like more of a social thing I guess.

Do both--at the same time, it'll change your world.

And you'd be surprised how quickly one person can go through a case of beer when they're eaten some shrooms. Just sayin'.

Yeah, the only warm weather school I applied to was duke, and I didn't get in.. stupid duke.

But hey now, there are several southern / california schools that are equals to UM in terms of acedemics, like UVA, emory, vandy, usc, cal, cal tech, UNC, Wake forrest..

Oh man. First time I shroomed (Expand Your Mind Night, 2001)...

I smoke occassionally, but usually only in "end of the night" private situations. I'm just a clueless stoner. I get awkward and never know what's going on. But for one of my good friend's birthdays, a ton of us decided to get all shroomed up (first time for all) at a party he threw.

Well, I smoked a pj (personal joint) while I was waiting for the shrooms to kick in. So I was mega blazed, and then I started hallucinating like crazy. I randomly went into my friend's room and saw he'd just put on Radiohead's "Meeting People is Easy" documentary. So I watched it. Over and over again. For 7 hours. Eventually, all the shroomheads were glued to the TV watching this thing, drinking Newcastle and grape soda. I had 12 Newcastles in 2 hours (nothing ever tasted so good) and 12 grape sodas in the next 3 hours.

I had a tummyache the next day, but it was awesome.

Also, Zimm... I'm telling you man. UM. MSU's campus totally sucks compared to Michigan's. It's so much more spread out. Everything is SO FAR at MSU. Gotta drive everywhere, which sucks when you're hammered. AT UM, everything's withing 15 minutes (except North Campus), and EVERYBODY has a house. No crappy apartments. House.

At MSU, you gotta pay for a cup. "Five bucks if you wanna drink, bro." It's weird; at State, people throw parties TO MAKE MONEY. At UM it's such a friendly atmosphere. If someone throws a party, it's just to have a good time. Everyone's ALWAYS WELCOME. To me, that was the biggest difference. Everything's so laid back and jive at UM, but at MSU there's this weird antagonistic competitive atmosphere about partying. Sucks.

When you're down for orientation, I'll give you the name and address of some fun guys who'll get you hammered and welcome you to their world.

Cheers,

Wang

what a waste of shrooms, and beer. when u trip though, be sure not to drink or eat any dairy and to take some vitamin C pills, or drink OJ. The vitaminC makes trips stronger

Are you kiddin'? It's the only way I don't completely spazz out. Time at least slows down SOME what. Instead of.."HEY! What time is it yet? Is Domino's open yet?" "It's only been three minutes since you asked, man.." "NO! It's been at least an hour" "No, seriously, look at the clock"

I'll tell ya what..laying in the back of my buddy's pick up, riding around the back roads tripping out of my mind, staring up at the stars on a clear night was probably the greatest thing I've ever done.

My only regret is that it was chocolates, and not the real deal.

Didn't know that about the Vitamin C though, neat.

It's kinda weird the setup I get through the scholarship though. They have their own house for all the people who get the scholarship. They just built a new sweet ass house just outside of South Campus, so I live there with all the other Evans people. They also have way more kids going to MSU than Michigan, so instead of 4 to a suite like my brother at MSU has, we have like 2 to a suite.

Yes, Bloomington is the greatest campus on earth. I cant count how many times I was busted by cops in the middle of ripping my Jerome Baker. Nothing ever happened.

Zim, congrats. If its between ND, MSU and MU it all depends on what you are looking for. If you're looking for the best overall expereince I would say Michigan. I'm a HUGE ND fan, but lets be honest. The social scene blows. The academics and football are excellent however. MSU, bleh, it really doesn't compare to Michigan. Congrats again and GL on the interview.

Also, will you have to be in the Evans Scholars frat if you take this full ride?

Congrats on getting into Michigan, but please realize that UW is far and away the best party school in the nation.

FYP

All of the best party schools are in the Midwest.

Madison is far and away the craziest college town I've ever been to, Bloomington's a fun town, Iowa State's been in the top 10 in Playboy for the last few years, Ann Arbor is a whore--errr, a blast.., Iowa City's a good time.

Us Midwesterners like our drinkin', I suppose.

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


..............



hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I should have been born in Wisconsin. I have a severe drinking problem, and that's the only place among the general populus I fit in.

You'd fit in pretty well here in Iowa..More bartenders in this county than there are Police Officers.

It's not really a "fraternity", but yes I will have to live in the house they have for all of the scholarship winners. As I said, they have a brand new sweet ass house at Michigan, so it's a great deal actually.

Michigan Tech was once declared ineligible for Playboy's top 10 because we were considered "professional drinkers".

It's cold, it snows, it snows some more. All you can do is drink...

You're right, what was I thinking. I am man enough to admit when I am wrong... :roll:

OHIO STATE RULES

but seriously congrats and have fun

Congrats, man. My alma mater. Good taste in music, going to U of I... bigkg maybe just became my fav poster.

Ann Aurbor is a w h o r e!

Go ILLINOIS!



seriously though, congrats

Nothing beats Little 5 week in B-town...
