Above and beyond all of the politics, Michigan has once again been able to put together one of the most demanding and prestigious curriculums of all the nation's universities.

The abundance of Phi Gams Strong Again In IM Sports students from the East and West Coast have given Michigan many different looks. However, this is destined to change in the near future.
