Your School: University Of Michigan
Location: Ann Arbor, MI
School Colors: Maize And Blue
School Mascot: Wolverine
Do outsiders “get” your mascot? A stocky, aggressive animal that has more fight than its size would indicate. There’s no guy in a Wolverine suit at games or anything. We don’t fight Soviet invaders using it as a rallying cry either.
Fight Song: The best in the biz -

Hail! to the victors valiant

Traditions: The Naked Mile – night before finals begin in the Spring students run naked through the streets. Hash Bash – A day designed to support marijuana reform laws although it ends up being heavily policed.
Geographical Features: It gets really fucking cold in the winter. There’s the Arb which is the preferred place to eat mushrooms. There’s also a patch of grass in the Diag that gets full pretty fast on a nice day.

Any famous alumni? Gerald Ford, The entire astronaut crews of Apollo 15 and Gemini 4, James Earl Jones, Arthur Miller, Tom Brady, Madonna, Lucy Liu, The Fab Five, Roy Tarpley, Jim Abbott, Branch Rickey, Michael Phelps.
Anything else we should know? Cops in Ann Arbor are serious pricks, although one of them, Vada Murray, blocked a kick to win a football game eons ago. By hook or by crook, make sure that you don’t live on North Campus.
