The University of Michigan, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, prides itself for its commitment to diversity. University President Mary Sue Coleman reiterated that an essential factor in U&M’s academic excellence is its diversity where students, faculty and staff of different backgrounds and different experiences are brought together to create an intellectual experience that is unmatched in higher education.

Check out the video below featuring international students at University of Michigan’s Rackham Graduate School.

The students talk about adjusting to the challenges of graduate school, transitioning to a new (and sometimes completely opposite) culture. These graduate students describe their experiences and offer  advice on how to expand your network of friends, and to connect with the international community at the University of Michigan. In addition, students talk about the resources at the International Center and other good things for new international graduate students to know.
