I'm curious about the size of University of Michigan's campus. I've heard it's pretty big but how big are we talking here? If anyone could give me an idea about how much space there is to roam, it'd help me visualize the campus better.
The University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus is quite expansive. In total, it covers around 3,070 acres. It's divided into several sections: the Central Campus, the North Campus, and the South Campus.
The Central Campus, as you might guess, is at the heart of the university. Here you will find most of the undergraduate academic buildings, libraries, and the Diag, which is a popular gathering place for students.
The North Campus, about a 10-minute bus ride from Central Campus, houses more of the engineering and art facilities. This area gives a more secluded, tranquil atmosphere with its expansive woodlands and sculptured grounds.
The South Campus, meanwhile, is the athletic hub with various sports facilities and fields.
So, the university certainly offers a lot of room to roam, from bustling student activity spaces to quiet corners of greenery. One common say is that you can always find a new nook or cranny to study or relax on the UMich campus due to its sheer size. Students can take advantage of the university's free bus system to travel between the different campus sections!
