University of Michigan-Dearborn

"Their tuition is incredibly expensive and yet they can't hire the staff to answer phones or even clean. You are resorted to emailing about time sensitive topics which typically takes several days just to get a response, meaning it'll take weeks of communication to resolve anything but the simplest of issues. Appointments also take weeks of waiting, which in turn make it difficult to get the classes you need as they fill up by the time you get your appointment needed to register for class. The study areas are filthy and only cleaned once or twice a week, a serious issue even before covid-19 was present and even more serious now. They are deceptive about transferable credits-although your credits from another school may transfer over, most will be done so as a "general credit" and so can't actually be used towards a degree. Transferring from a community College has basically made me start school from the beginning credit wise. The community College facilities have been more impressive than u of m. Even their security system is lax and has been compromised, and they did not give any consideration to students when it caused a delay in classes as students were expected to just shoulder the burden themselves. It has been a massive waste of time and money so far. I would transfer to another school but I've already invested too much into this scam."

"It is with a heavy heart that I write this review to express my deep dissatisfaction with university of michigan dearborn. After investing a significant amount of money and years of my life, I find myself regretting my decision to attend this institution. The teaching methods employed by the university are woefully outdated, leaving me with a profound sense of disappointment and a lack of knowledge in my chosen field. Throughout my time at university of michigan dearborn, it became increasingly evident that the curriculum failed to keep pace with the advancements and developments in the industry. The materials and subjects covered were antiquated, leaving me ill-prepared for the challenges of the modern world. It is disheartening to realize that the exorbitant fees I paid for my education have yielded such meager results. To make matters worse, my experience took a turn for the worse when the university demanded $7000 for a three-week period I attended at my last semester before dropping classes . This unexpected financial burden left me feeling disgusted and taken advantage of. The threat to report this amount to the credit bureau only served to exacerbate the situation, highlighting the university's lack of empathy and willingness to exploit their students. Furthermore, the university's insistence on holding my records hostage in an attempt to coerce me into paying this exorbitant sum is an act that I cannot support. As disheartened as I am with the quality of education I received, I refuse to associate my name with an institution that disregards the well-being and academic growth of its students. In conclusion, my experience at UMD has been a devastating disappointment. The lack of updated curriculum, coupled with exploitative practices, has left me questioning the integrity of the institution. I caution prospective students to thoroughly research their options and consider the long-term implications before committing to UMD . It is my sincerest hope that my review serves as a cautionary tale, preventing others from enduring the same regretful journey that I did."

"I've been going here for two years now, being a transfer student, and I can genuinely say this is a great school with great professors, especially if you're in a stem related major. The only problem I have found is the support departments and administration here, but it's a huge problem. I have had times where I'll open a ticket, wait a week for a response, be told that I need to be redirected to another department, wait another week, and then be told by the second department that the first one was supposed to help me all along. I've had times where I've been redirected to U of M Ann Arbor and Flint departments for them to be like "wrong school?" I don't know who staffs the aid departments, but if I had to guess, it's freshman top to bottom, because they can't handle even the simplest requests. If you have a time sensitive ticket, good luck, because they'll respond a month later and tell you the deadline was two weeks ago. If you need to deal with anything related to financial aid I would just transfer to another school because I swear it would be easier and quicker to do so. The only problem with that is that you would have to deal with student records, which is like pulling teeth. Again, campus is great, professors are great, courses are great, but If you have to ask a single question of the administration you are going to regret it."

"The campus is a nice and clean environment, friendly colleagues, and helpful professors. The library is a good place to study, quiet and neat. As an Alumni to the university myself, I strongly encourage students to attend, as it offers multiple degree programs that cater to diverse interests. U of M is definitely a place that sets you up for success, number one choice, go blue!"

"Overall, I like UM-D. It's a smaller campus and the class sizes are the same as high school for the most part. The cafeteria food is really good! The university just updated the science building and now they're updating the engineering building. The main drawback is the lack of parking, and now the university is charging visitors for parking which I don't personally agree with."
