(-)-- Profile of the University of Michigan in the Michigan town AnnArbor.AnnArbor translation of the Ann Arbor City mainland, it is not a translation of and AGB level. Local Chinese newspapers to Ann Arbor, not only near the sound, seem much more gentle, more importantly, it covertly allusions. Ann in the name of the city to commemorate the two is the wife of the founding of the city (
Ann), and Arbor word from the bushes around here (grove ) and the woods. Ann Arbor was built in 1824, is a small town in the Midwest style of the existing population of about 110,000. drove along the east-94, about 40 minutes, is the motor city of Detroit - Big Three auto companies headquarters.
Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan and no boundaries, can be said to be integrated. School buildings throughout the city, and many city agencies and tour places are almost all in relation to the schools. About half of the residents is the school s professors, students or staff. number of students in the school about 30,000.
Ann Arbor residents from all over the world, the level of education and training is relatively high, and among conservative and open. Properly the environment here, the high level of consumption, excellent law and order (to a homicide in a year is very unnerving), schools The facilities, services and sophisticated, making Ann Arbor often living in the United States most of the cities on top of the list.
(B - the University of Michigan campus was established in 1817, the United States is the oldest one of the public universities. In 1837 when it moved to Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor to the city 13 years, and only 2,000 population, plus a court , a prison, a bank and four churches. UM then the only two professors and seven students. today, UM has developed into the United States one of the most outstanding universities. its and the University of California, is one of only two in the United States maintained by the top 10 public universities. UM also has the world s leading health care systems, improve the computer network, and the University library system. UM students from the United States all 50 states and more than 100 countries, 5,600 teachers more than 17 school and college, 588 major and every year some 5,500 courses taught. another of the more than 600 student organizations, held annually about 350 concerts, and hundreds of lectures, forums, etc. All of these are here for outstanding research atmosphere in a variety of campus life and lay a foundation.
According to academic points, UM in Ann Arbor campus can be divided into two parts: NorthCampus and CentralCampus. Almost all of the Arts, School of Law and School of Medicine are located in the campus of the centre, it is AnnArbor the downtown. North campus is a major, College of Engineering, School of Architecture, College of Music, and so on, because the needs of the development gradually moved from the centre to the campus. If more stringent points, the total can be divided into four, in addition to the two front and AthleticCampus MedicalCampus also outside.
MedicalCampus divided it into two parts, the east is mainly school Hospital, Children s Hospital, Women s Hospital, Medical College, Cancer Center, SchoolofPublicHealth such as construction, the west has SchoolofNursing, College library, medical building, mental health research centres, research centres nerve , and other research institutions.

Addition, the Hockey Hall YostIce Arena is here, another part of tennis, hockey venues, such as football pitches. UM on the sporting event, will be mentioned later.
(C) - Traffic
I get around ...
UM campus so large, traffic is naturally a problem. Students from the school parking lot during the day parking, live in close walking or riding on bicycles, have to live far from car to school or first drive to a free or cheap parking lot to walk or car. Free school bus, blue body, we called BlueBus along fixed routes in the number of inter-campus operation. Ann Arbor also charges the city bus, red-and-white body, the line around the entire city. BlueBus But sitting in the school enough.
American bus is very interesting, not only conductor, the stops on the name of the station has not only painted a bus. Driver responsible for Maipiao generally not
Rely on the window seat next to have a magnetic strip, if you want to alight, prior click it, the driver will appear in front of the class Stoprequested signal, the driver will be arriving at the park. if no one, no one on the station, which has been on the station. passengers on the bus have been small, but the Bus school students usually take a lot, because in all travel between campus of the tables are. drivers are very humane, if someone Ganju will stop and even cars have also switched so.
Cycling this mode of transportation, although many in the campus, but in general is used mainly to train the Americans. Fengdao weekend on the road with common Yishenqing wearing helmets, Yaoli other bikers with the Walkman, or vehicle-mounted bike out on top, it must be fun to ride to the park. on both sides of the road rarely have a special bike lanes, and sidewalks are often unity, even in the car from the edge, it is not very safe to ride the way In many states have legal provisions to wear bicycle helmets. legal constraints but also because, in any case had to drive people to pedestrians and bike riders, so it was not easy to go wrong.
Natural drive is the most common mode of transportation, is also essential. Recall the past do not understand why Americans would rather not have to house a car, it is now understood. Did not have a car unable to practice. Learner drivers on the test as All will be mentioned later.
Taxis many, but invisible in several road. To see if a phone call five minutes in to prospective. Scheduling can only be described as well, Busuangui, but not to sit, generally does not have to sit unless the mission can meet claims.
Young people in the United States travel to rollerblades are also very common. Children almost everybody skating, and the streets are often small groups of students from carrying bags before you howls here. Shoes on the ground but the larger loss, So many school buildings are in front of written notices rollerblades and pets should not enter.
There are also two voluntary UM student teams were called Safewalk and Northwalk If you walk at night fear of harassment, giving them a phone call, as long as you live in the undergraduate campus in the library or the North Campus student hostels around 20 minutes travel, they will be sending two students to accompany you walk home from school, to the station, from the Party or even with your home, but I have never tried, want to come must be very interesting.
