University of Michigan Campus Tour
[Music]
hi everyone so today I'm going to be
giving you a tour of the campus so
there's a lot of tradition and history
that comes to know if you go here or not
there is a curse that goes with it if
you step on it if you touch it it says
that you'll fail your first Blue Book
exam so definitely don't do that years
ago it was told that if you stepped on
it and then you ran at midnight all the
way from here to the bell tower behind
me you would break the curse if you got
there by 12:00 time unfortunately the
clock doesn't time to 12:00 anymore so
you're a little bit stuck so just don't
step on it so like I said this is the
hub of everything on campus a ton of
school buildings are around me during
the spring and summer students will hang
out in the grass they'll read and study
they'll slackline they'll feed the
squirrels it's all very exciting student
hand out flyers and try to clubs so I'll
show you some of the buildings that are
around me so is the chemistry building
they're redoing it right now there's
always a lot of construction we're
finalizing on campus and then there's
the data science building you have down
that way or go there in a second but you
have the Shapiro under greater
undergraduate library or the ugly the
Hatcher Graduate library is here and
then Mason Hall is right here where
there's a ton of classes and meetings
for clubs so let's go that way and we'll
go see so this is the Shapiro
undergraduate library affectionately
known as the ugly because it used to
look very ugly before they redid it
several years ago now it's very
beautiful inside it's open 24 hours a
day for students studying there's a cafe
or you can get coffee so if you are
studying area working on a group project
chances are you're going to be in there
and then to my right down here is what
is known as the engineering arch so the
engineering school used to be down here
it's now up on North Campus which will
be later but this arch also has some
strong traditions with it it's said that
if you are under that arch and you kiss
someone at midnight that he will
eventually marry that person so keep
that in mind is a good or bad thing if
you're walking with anyone in the diet
so now we're all the way on the other
side of the diets across the street and
all the way over there is where we just
we're on the diad so this is the bell
tower I was talking about earlier so
this is where students with run if
they're trying to break the Bluebook
curse so here now that you can hear a
lot of music students playing the bells
really cool music it also lights up bass
blue at night which is really cool and
there's actually some classes in the
bell tower so you could be lucky enough
to actually go in and have a class there
on the other side of this area we have
this fountain unfortunately it does
closed for the winter and that's not
right now students are on winter break
you might notice it's a little quiet
around here with this fountain that has
also a lot of traditions with it so when
students are here for orientation they
will get in the fountain and walk to my
left towards the diag towards where
they're going to study into a lot of
their learning and then at graduation
students this way towards the Rackham
graduate building on to better things
and possibly on to graduate school so
we've never worked our way around the
other side of the Diane
we just were in the dyads earlier on the
opposite side of that big light building
that's actually angel Hall and all the
columns on the opposite side of that
connected is Mason Hall where we just
work and then we also behind we have the
art museum in the History Museum and
then you can see that big red statue in
front of me now behind me we have the
Michigan Union which is another hub of
activity on campus so it's actually
under construction right now
unfortunately it's gonna be opening very
soon when you're seeing this art might
already be open they're redoing the
entire inside to make it modern and very
nice but inside they have resources for
student organizations there's a lot of
restaurants places to study and hang out
I actually worked here when I was a
student so I'm very excited to see what
it looks like after but it is like the
diag one of the main hubs for students
here so here we are at the log quad over
to my left and across the street is
where we just were at the Michigan Union
and then behind us across the street is
the diag where we were earlier we're
just behind the libraries so here is
obviously where all of the law students
here go to classes and all of these
buildings around me this quad is also
very popular spot for graduation photos
in the spring it's very beautiful also a
fun fact so if you kind of look around
at the buildings so this was almost a
filming location for the Harry Potter
series you'll notice it kind of looks
like Hogwarts of it and the reading room
that's to my left it looks a little bit
like the Great Hall from Harry Potter so
if you're a fan and you're able to
follow the rules
I would HIGHLY I mentioned the
engineering school
[Music]
[Music]
we have to enter here at the stadium the
football stadium here it is the largest
stadium in the United States the second
largest in the world so if you are going
to be a student here if you're passing
through I highly recommend going to a
game here with 110,000 other people it's
an incredible experience so I hope you
enjoyed this tour and go blue
