The University of Michigan was ranked as the top public university in the United States, and 18th best university (including public and private) in the world by the 2008 World University Rankings. Just one more reason why it’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine.

The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (UM or U of M) is a coeducational public research university in the U.S. state of Michigan. Founded in 1817 some 20 years before the territory of Michigan officially became a state, the university moved to Ann Arbor in 1837. Today, it is the state’s oldest university and the flagship campus of the University of Michigan system.

UM has one of the largest research expenditures of any American university, as well as one of the largest number of living alumni at 420,000 and growing. The university is also recognized for its history of student activism and its athletic teams, notably in football and ice hockey. "Let's Go Blue!"
