Drug Safety at University of Michigan

A Lot During Weekends

There is a lot of alcohol used on the weekends. Whether it is at frat parties or just in student's rooms, there is a lot of students who consume a lot of alcohol. I do not know how the drug usage is on campus, but I am sure that there is a fair share of that too.

Campus Dining at University of Michigan

Good Variety

There is such a variety of food. The choices at the dining halls are almost unlimited. I really think that all of the ingredients are quality. The only negative that I have is that the meal plan equates to paying about $12 per meal.
