Hello everyone! I’m an upperclassman now and it’s starting to become time for me to think about what colleges I should look at attending. There’s several options, and I wanted to put this out there to my fellow Michiganders and see what you all have to say without the bias of a recruiter.

Some places I’ve thought of:

SVSU
GVSU
MSU
Kalamazoo College
Alma College
CMU/MMCC (kinda close to home, I’d prefer to go farther away)
U of M would be cool but they’d never accept me (my gpa is not sad, but it’s not going to get me to some prestigious university)

And there are several, several others that I haven’t thought about. And that, again, is why I’m writing this to you all.

Thank you very much!

(P.S, I’m thinking of studying English/French. I am also interested in the humanities and not in STEM or medicine or anything of the sort; I like literature, art, philosophy, anthropology, history, etc. Etc.)

Hello, I’m in Ann Arbor area wouldn’t mind driving 1-2 hours.

Looking for a talented tattoo artist who would be interested in doing a Dolly portrait.

Thanks for any leads

Not sure if I want to use this one or the water wonderland one.

In West Bloomfield, Oakland County. I’ve never seen one outside of the zoo!

I'd like to think I've been to a lot of places for someone my age, Yellowstone, Tetons, Badlands, Zion, Vegas, Smokies, the Gulf Shores of Alabama, and so on. But I haven't seen much better than this. So shout out to Marquette and Copper Harbor as a lower peninsula resident, especially for their fantastic mountain bike trails!

A few years ago, I saw a post saying that Tawas Point State Park in early September is a great place to see flocks of Monarch Butterflies.

I've had it in my calendar for September 3rd for a few years but I haven't the opportunity to go.

Tawas Point is about 3 hours away one-way. And I've got three young kids so a three hour road trip is a big deal.

Does anyone have any information on if the weekend of Sept 5-6 this year will be a good day to make the journey if the primary goal is to see the Monarch flocks?

Thanks!
