Landmark · Tourist Spot
Sometimes called the Ivy League of the Midwest, University of Michigan features a campus atmosphere with architecturally designed buildings and the Big House, the university's stadium. The law library is an imposing, Gothic-style building with tall, high-set windows and dangling lights. At the museum of natural history, you can learn about evolution, wildlife, anthropology, and geology, as well as see the planetarium. Next, visit the art museum and its  collections from a broad range of histories and cultures. If you take a tour of the Big House, you'll get to see the stadium field, game-day locker rooms, the press box, and the club and suite levels.

    I didn't go here, but visited the campus. The library is something straight out of Harry Potter. It's beautiful, and you can really feel the school spirit. I think the students, faculty, and anyone associated with the school is proud of it.
